Updated: Jul 6, 2021
Summer is upon us (in full swing we might add), so it’s time to highlight some craft beers that are perfect for summer! In this blog, learn about our latest and greatest craft beer arrivals that are here to quench your thirst, as well as introduce you to some of the amazing breweries Alberta and Canada have to offer.
Blindman Brewing - Foedered Lager Bohemian Pilsner
Hailing from Lacombe, this beer is the latest in Blindman Brewing’s series of oak foeder conditioned lagers. Inspired by the source of Pilsner beers — Plzeň, Czech Republic — this beer is made from local Pilsner malt, old world hops and the softest water they can manage to create a new interpretation on a classic. Clean and smooth, this beer features rich and complex malt notes, accentuated by the white oak of the foeder and brilliantly balanced with peppery hops.
Rural Routes - It’s Pronounced “Chow-Dah” New England IPA
This take on the super popular New England IPA style comes from Leduc brewery Rural Routes. It’s a big, juicy, tropical beer with flavours of pineapple and guava balanced with slight bitterness and pine. A mouthwatering treat with a clean finish that will leave you craving “anothah”.
Town Square - La Chiquita Mexican Cerveza
Imagine you’re quaffing cerveza on the beach with the newest brew from Edmonton’s Town Square Brewing. La Chiquita is a light and crushable Mexican-style lager built on a Pilsner malt base, lightly dry hopped with Motueka hops for a hint of lime character. ¡Una cerveza mas por favor!
Howe Sound - Garibaldi Honey Blonde
A staple beer from Howe Sound in Squamish, BC, the Garibaldi Honey Blonde is a refreshing, crisp and dry blonde ale brewed with all-natural honey. Sessionable and smooth, this beer is great for those who like their summer beers with a touch of sweetness.
New Level Brewing - Wizard’s Revenge Strawberry Milkshake IPA
The perfect IPA for people who say they hate IPAs. From Calgary’s New Level Brewing, Wizard’s Revenge gets a thicker body from the addition of lactose and oats, along with sweetness that balances out the bitterness of the hops. Tons of real strawberries are added during the boil and conditioning processes to provide genuine fruit flavour and aroma. But loaded with fruity hops and aggressively dry hopped, it’s still an IPA at heart.
My first thought about studying economics through familiar decisions is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. An everyday choice can introduce a concept that otherwise feels detached from ordinary life. Seen this way, economics learning examples becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. How would you choose an example that shows a trade-off clearly?
When it comes to connecting literature with everyday school questions, I would rather understand one useful detail properly than rush through a long list of ideas. A literary character's choices can provide a starting point for discussing ordinary dilemmas. Seen this way, Prus literature education becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. How would you invite students to support their interpretation with specific details?
There is something approachable about discussing exploring student choice in democratic education through situations people can actually picture. Choosing an activity can involve discussing responsibilities as well as personal preferences. That connection helps me see why democratic education ideas can be worth a closer look. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How can a learning community make decisions that include quieter voices?
My first thought about understanding civic spaces and public communication is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. A public information page becomes easier to use when its purpose is clear from the start. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about civic information literacy. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What helps visitors find the information they need without already knowing the system?
The idea of keeping personal care simple and thoughtful gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A small consistent habit can be easier to assess than several unfamiliar changes introduced together. The name Krasotaizdorove gives this theme a memorable reference point, while personal care ideas keeps the subject in focus. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What would help someone decide which parts of a personal-care routine are useful to them?
