Best Beer Gifts for Dad this Father's Day
Consider this your official reminder: Father’s day is less than two weeks away! If you’re about to panic run to the mall and pick up a wacky tie or a ‘World’s Best Dad’ mug, stop right there and turn that car around because we’ve got you covered. We put together a list of gifts that any beer-loving dad will be stoked to receive this Father’s Day. The best part? You can order all of them from the comfort of your couch on our online store. I know, you’re welcome.
Getaway Series: Tofino
Whether you’re heading to Tofino to surf, storm watch or explore, we’ve put a list together of places that you’ve got to check out. Oh, and obviously, check out our local stockists on the island to pick up some of your favourite Old Yale brews on your way to the coast.
Local Music & Beer Pairings
There are TONS of incredibly talented musicians right here in the Fraser Valley, so we put together a little Spotify playlist of some of our favourites to get us through the day. We’ve found that being serenaded by our favourite local musicians goes especially well with locally crafted beer (surprise, surprise). And there are certain songs that pair ESPECIALLY well with particular beers…
Beers for our Health Heroes & First Responders
One of the cool things to come out of the current situation is all the creative and supportive ways our community has stepped up to show love to those that need and deserve it. From everyone rallying together at 7pm to honk our horns and make some noise for our #HealthHeroes to new websites that list which local businesses are open and delivering to just all the love and support on social media across the board! It’s pretty remarkable.
NEW BEER: Ancient Grain Belgian Saison
Not just a new brew… but a NEW collaboration brew made with friends and NEIGHBOURS! We got together with our literal neighbours (we’re in the same parking lot); Anita’s Organic Mill to play with some pretty unique grains in this Belgian Saison…
Parking Lot Party...for One
Normally during this time of year we would be in the middle of organizing and announcing one of our SUPER SICK Parking Lot Parties....However, with the “c” word still hanging about, we can’t really do that just yet. So, we thought this would be a great time to post our SUPER secret formula for crafting the perfect Parking Lot Party…for One… or two, maybe up to 6 soon? Let’s not get too crazy now.
How to Garden With Old Yale Brewing
Planting gardens or reviving last year's beds has been a big part of many of the OYB team’s quarantine life. And through the process, we’ve learned a few tips and tricks to not only make your garden flourish but also, have a damn good time while doing it! So here are our tips on how to garden OYB style (meaning, there will be beer involved and lots of it).
