Ch-ch-ch-changes. I may never get another opportunity to honour David Bowie in an appropriate venue, so I’ll do it here, even though he had very little to do with beer. But his music and creative influence loomed very large while putting this issue together. So, thanks for the tunes, mate.
And yes, you’ll notice a great many changes in the second volume of The Growler. Like, for instance, our new cover artist, Neil Manuel from Kamloops. We think his work is weird and child-like and perfect for our pages. Give him a round of applause, won’t you?
You’ll also notice that brewery profiles are now half pages, which we’ve done in order to accommodate every B.C. brewery as the industry continues to grow, while maintaining a reasonable page count for future issues.
Finally, the greatest change of all—the price tag. We are charging for The Growler now, for a price that we think people might actually pay for. This is our attempt to stay in this for the long haul. We’d
like to stick around. Thanks for all the support.
