2006, August a new discovery

An alert reader spotted this interesting image from the Yalta Summit.

He used some kind of advanced algorithm to deduce which of our two flavours the gentleman was drinking and apparently it was our Honey Brown.

You can't argue with history.

2006, June 17th: The Valley Zoo’s “On Safari” and "ART in the WILD" Fund Raisers

Today we sponsored the Beer for The Valley Zoo’s “On Safari” Fund Raiser. It went very, very well and we look forward to the next fundraiser “Art in the wild” on July 14th. See the website (http://www.buildingthevalleyzoo.com/events.html) for more information.


Here is the poster for Art in the Wild:


LIQUOR SELECT ON 149 STREET

Well, on July 15th we were lucky enough to be allowed to offer samples at Liquor Select (8924-149 Street) for their annual Summer Barbeque. We had aprime position and everyone was great.

It was great being number one in line, but we went through just over 200 glasses...

The feedback was positive and I hope we get to do the same thing next year.

Special thanks to Stacey-Jo and Tony - give them a call or look them up: http://www.liquorselect.com/

Well the Oilers lost game seven and are going home empty handed. To top off the misery we have to send some of our craft brews to the folks in Raleigh Durham. At least we get to send our Australian Mountain Pepper Berry and our Honey Brown as part of the Edmonton Six Pack. We will follow up with more information as it becomes available.The Press release simply stated:

Mayor Mandel Honors Stanley Cup Finals Wager

Edmonton , June 22, 2006 – Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel has honoured his wager with Raleigh, North Carolina Mayor Charles Meeker, after the Carolina Hurricanes edged out the Edmonton Oilers in a hard fought seven-game Stanley Cup Finals series. Under the terms of the friendly wager, Mayor Mandel has sent beer from three Edmonton micro-breweries - Alley Kat, Maverick and Amber's - off to the North Carolina Capital.

Although disappointed with the loss in such close series, Mayor Mandel commented "As a city we are extremely proud of the character and never-quit attitude displayed by our Oilers. I congratulate the team on their outstanding playoff run that ignited Canada's hockey passion, and further extend my congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes on their Stanley Cup victory."

"Although I hope Mayor Meeker enjoys sampling our finest local beer, I look forward to trying Raleigh's best at this time in 2007."
