Leading up to Christmas we held an @thebrewschool Instagram contest for tickets to our second annual St. Patrick’s Stout education evening at the Irish Association of Manitoba this Saturday, February 9. Participants had to like and tag a friend for a chance to win two tickets (a $100 value) to our all-grain education evening which includes […]
We’re delighted to announce we’ll be back at the Irish Association of Manitoba this February to study and brew our very own batch of stout / porter. See below for Boxing Week Coupon Code. Last year we had such an amazing time we’re doing it again only we’re shaking things up a little and offering […]
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
In honour of Earth Week 2018, we’re offering deep discounts on our multi-date options for the Fantastic Forest Forage. Whether you’re interested in the healing power of local plants, or would like to get back to the land a little bit and use natural methods to supplement your diet, or want to teach your kids or friends about our natural environment and how to live a little more sustainably, the Fantastic Forest Forage is for you.
There’s a better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than by hoisting a pint of Ireland’s finest and toasting to your friend’s Slainte (good health). A pint of smooth and creamy Irish stout is a rare thing indeed, and no, we’re not talking about green beer either.
We’re talking about tapping into the makers movement and in one afternoon, equipping you with the tools, techniques and knowledge to make your very own batch of craft-beer, an authentic Irish stout that can and will be ready to roll out on your friends on St. Patrick’s Day.
Yes, in true Winnipeg fashion, we’ve jumped just in time to catch the tail end of the tap room band-wagon. Better late than never I guess and we’re certainly making up for lost time. In the last twelve months (give or take) we’ve seen some simply stellar places crack open their long-awaited doors and tap some kegs and with 20 tap-room or brewery permits up for approval, there’s plenty more on the horizon.
Here’s a breakdown of what we believe are the best (and worst) of them.
For six years we’ve been teaching Winnipeggers, and people visiting Winnipeg, what grows wild and is good to eat through the Fantastic Forest Forage. Each and every year, we’ve been asked about mushrooms: where they grow, which are the good ones, and most importantly, which are bad. For many reasons, it’s a subject we’ve avoided. Until now.
May’s a busy month. The gorgeous weather has us busy in our backyards. Savour Winnipeg’s Fantastic Forest Forage kicks off for a sixth season. And Living Prairie Museum hosts the first of a few Prairie Plant sales. Procured by Prairie Flora Greenhouse, this is your chance to enhance your gardens with some hardy native perennials. […]
The Fantastic Forest Forage is back again for 2016. Once again we’ll unearth the edible bounty that grows wild and free in our own back-yards. If you’ve ever wondered what grows wild and is good to eat, this one of a kind experience is for you. We cover tools of the trade, why we forage, […]
I’m not a fan of food fads but good food will always be in fashion. Nevertheless, The National Restaurant Association has released results of its 2016 Top Restaurant Menu Trends survey. But it’s always fun to see which ones we’re embracing, which ones were never out of style, and which ones we’re years behind on (food […]
