Last night, I was one of 35 local bloggers invited to celebrate one of Canada’s oldest companies… Molson Brewery. In Canada for 222 years, and brewing in Vancouver for 50, we were invited down to enjoy some of their fine brew, and tour the facility… It was a fabulous night. I think BREW 2.0 was a fantastic way to get some buzz going for a Canadian tradition, and having Geoff Molson (John Molson’s great-great-great-great-grandson) there to tell the story really made it an authentic experience.
Oh, and having Gord Rickards, creator of Rickard’s Red, pulling drafts and giving a personal tour of the brewery… That was pretty darn cool, too!
It was really great to share the night with so many cool people that I’ve met through blogging — In fact, I knew most of the invited. We all had a great time! Thanks to Hill & Knowlton for allowing me to be a part of this event!

Tanya! Great post and pics. Love the shot of Colleen — she was the ultimate bartender last night.
Glad you had a great time and that we got to meet in person. Make sure you tweet me and @moffat when you’re in TO next and we’ll grab a couple Rickard’s Honey browns!
Thanks again for coming
