If you haven't had it, you should try it. It's refreshing and the blends are original and delicious. Think Lavender-Ginger, or Blackberry-Habenero.... or just go try a few and then enjoy a pint or a flight! Order food at Tamale Boy and they will bring it to you since they share a space.

This is the first non-profit brewery in existence. Like they say, "have a pint, save the world!" Go eat and drink and then choose what charity you want your proceeds to go to -- the organizations that they work with are so amazing, it's often hard to choose. That's a great excuse to frequent this place.

Artsy, foodie, local. Tons of great restaurants and shops, services. If you're in town on a "last Thursday" in the summer, go and enjoy yourself on Alberta Street. It'll be crowded, so if you don't want a cultural crowd to immerse yourself in, pick a NON "last Thursday"
