We walked over to The Whip (6th and Main, Vancouver) yesterday afternoon. I've always like the ambiance of the place; that old building oozes charm. It especially oozes charm on Sunday afternoons, when local brewmasters show up with casks of ale on their shoulders and the whole place starts to hum with an enthusiastic crowd of those who love BC beer. Yesterday's drinks featured brews from Central City, Howe Sound, Phillips, Driftwood and Storm. And the yam fries were piping hot, crispy, and sprinkled with chopped scallions. We left with full, happy bellies and hardly even noticed the downpour that we had to walk through to get home again. Check out The Whip for Cask Ale Sundays next time you want a cozy, lively place to drink in the afternoon.
