Stop #11 / Old Ivy Brewing

After our morning history lesson, we took one more pass through downtown.  A small farmers market provided a snack and some questionable local music and art.

Don't spook the natives with talk of "ports" or "lands"

From there, a short couple of blocks took us to the last stop on our tour, Old Ivy brewing.  A small place with a friendly, relaxed vibe, it fit in alongside the other stops on the journey.

Interesting beers were tried, including a corn-based lager and a brown ale with figs.  Both hit the spot, and gave us the fuel we'd need for the long car ride back across the bridge.

Our trip was shorter than usual, but still very enjoyable.  It also brought us a surprising fondness for the town of Vancouver.  Quiet, no crowds, and a lot of interesting beer choices.  We all spoke of making future visits, and will probably actually think fondly of the place.  Shocking, I know.

We're hoping that this trip will not be the only one of 2016.  Talks of one-day adventures here in our little beer metropolis are being considered, and would be a good chance to try places we've been meaning to go to for a long time.  So, keep checking this bloggy for more brew-tales.  Maybe you'll see some soon!

Cheers!

Oh, wait, that's a lame sign off.

Bock bock!

That's better.
