Bring the beer to the people
Re: “Are independent growler fill stations good for craft brewers?”, Dec. 3, 2015.
Interesting to read this in the Westender – since there isn’t anywhere in the west side of Vancouver to fill a growler. I think the closest to me in Arbutus Village would be Granville Island, though I have to admit I have never actually tried to get a growler filled at either Granville Island Brewing or the Dockside. Both advertise growler fills.
I go to Main Street – usually Brassneck though there are plenty of other options. But it might be a really good idea to have something within walking distance. Unlikely as long as breweries have to be in industrial areas.

Where’s the Christmas spirit?
My partner and I were coming back from a really great day down at 50 Bourbon and caught the Davie Street bus on Granville Street around 5:30pm and ended up at the back. He had to sit next to someone plugged in and I sat next to a very nasty bitch who wouldn’t smile when I put on a Rolf Harris Christmas carol (“Six White Boomers”) on my phone. Everyone on the bus was plugged in or texting and I wanted to share some Christmas cheer. She wouldn’t even smile.
Oh well, Santa knows and there is a lump of toxic coal on its way. Anyway, have a very Merry Christmas and say that to everyone you run into.

Vancouver too good for Trump
This madman Mr. Trump’s madness may be contagious. Every time I hear this fool talk, I want to build a wall along our border to keep xenophobes, racists, and gun nutters out of our country.
The thought that a tower in our downtown will bear that name will act as a locus for vandalism and possibly acts of terrorism in response to his Islamophobia.
Vancouver is too fine a city to be associated with this egomaniac.
