New brews is good news
Here’s another news brief we can get behind. The fine folks over at Vancouver Island Brewery are unleashing a couple of new concoctions for locals this summer: the Vicfest Festival Ale and the Vancouver Island Musicfest Festival Ale. Okay, those are super awkward names to say out loud and impossible to remember, yes, but we bet they’re going to be delicious.
Hell awaits
Now that you’re drunk, perhaps it’s time to enjoy Vancouver screenwriter Kevin Miller’s new documentary, Hellbound? Available on DVD, Blu-ray (you have a Blu-ray player, right?), download and Video On-Demand, the flick looks at the Christian doctrine of hell. Sounds like fun, right? Check it out on May 28 if you’re so inclined.
