Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us at BikeHike Adventures!

Today is a perfect excuse to talk about beer. I know that when I'm travelling one of the things I look forward to the most is trying the beers unique to that country...and besides, there is nothing like rewarding yourself with a cold pint of beer after a hard day of biking. In my opinion, that's when it tastes the best. Some of our favourite beers here at BikeHike are:
Hoegaarden: white beer from Belgium generally served in a very large goblet.
Kilkenny: cream ale from Ireland
Creemore Springs: lager from Ontario
Imperial: lager from Costa Rica. Perfect in the hot tropical weather
Granville Island Lager: only because the brewery is across the street from our office...and the beer is yummy as well.
Any beer served in a stubby bottle (eg: Red Stripe from Jamaica)

Guess what country has the largest beer consumption per capita? According to Wikipedia its the Czech Republic. Canadians are only ranked 20th - I thought we would be higher! After all, we are home to Bob and Doug Mckenzie famous for the movie "Strange Brew".

Cheers,
