Chad and I stumbled across a local gem in our little neighborhood. In an effort to escape the rain, (a common event in summer...) we decided to try out a little
pub called '
Sugar Bowl '. Upon entering the establishment, I instantly felt at home; the warm wood-paneled bar and 1970's tables, it had a homey and friendly feel. The waitress was peachy-Edmonton keen and willing to get us set up with the best of their extensive
beer list. To accompany our beverages, she recommend the
paprika popcorn. Feeling a little daring, we agreed and were pleasantly surprised by the sugary-spicy puff balls, that were lightly seasoned with paprika.
To our benefit, we had happened upon a
Unibroue beer tasting event hosted by an Edmontonian beer legend,
Jason Foster. Unibroue's Blanche de Chambly is Chad's and my favourite summer
wheat ale from
Quebec. We were treated to free tastings of the following beers:
- Blanche de Chambly
- Ephemere
- Trois Pistoles
- Noir de Chambly
The favourite of the evening for me was the green apple aroma of Ephemere and Chad's was still the Chambly. He may not have found a new beer to replace the Chambly, but we found a cool bar stumble distance away from our Edmonton apartment.
Kampai!
