Audrey Magazine Launch

Red River College’s Creative Communications students will unveil their magazines this Thursday, March 28, at the magazine trade fair. The event is happening in the Atrium of the downtown campus at 160 Princess Street, from noon to 4p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Our group is introducing Audrey magazine. People who visit our trade booth will have an opportunity to get their photo taken while wearing some fun accessories. Also, we will have a number of prize packages and goodies to give away.

Note: the above post is for a school assignment.

Old Boy Classic Ale

Old Boy Classic Ale, from Parallel 49 Brewing Company in Vancouver, has a dark brown colour. There's a roasted coffee bean nose and the flavour is full but it doesn't smack you in the face like some beers. Old Boy is somewhat similar in taste to Half Pints Brewing's Sweet Nikki Brown. A solid session beer, if not exactly memorable.

Portage and Main IPA

Portage and Main IPA is the newest addition to Fort Garry Brewing’s Brewmaster series - a line of beers that branches into more bold and complex flavours than is found in Fort Garry’s standard offerings. I’ve reviewed several other beers from this series in previous blog posts.

This IPA is made with West Coast and Manitoba flower hops. It has a pretty intense nose: a strong grapefruit scent dominates but there is also a slightly floral aroma, no doubt because of the aforementioned local hop presence.

The head is a fluffy white with a tinge of orange. The colour is a light amber. 

This beer has a surprisingly malty taste for an IPA and the mouthfeel is a bit on the creamy side.

Another good addition to the ever-growing selection of locally-brewed craft beer.
