The Magnet

Vancouver might have mountains and ocean views… but let’s be honest, we came for the beer. 🍺 @themagnetvan - one of downtown Vancouver’s best beer bars with massive flights and constantly rotating local taps. 🍺 @stormbrewing - the legendary OG brewery of East Van, weird, chaotic, DIY and absolutely iconic. 🍺 @threefoldbeer - three breweries under one roof serving hazy IPAs, beautiful lagers, barrel-aged experiments… and pizza. From dark rice lagers to funky barrel-aged beers, Vancouver’s craft beer scene seriously impressed us. Which city should we explore next?

OMG it’s our ANNIVERSARY. Here’s a silly video to remind you. Couple of things to observe here: Firstly, the Maggy crew are waaaay cooler than Nigel. Secondly, if you have an idea for a silly video on a Sunday, then ask the crew to help you on their days off you’re gonna get some real special insight into what yer crew like to do on their day off!!! It’s also Nigel’s day off. He likes to go to work, sweep things that have already been swept, check on his sleeping keg babies, and then make a fool of himself on the internet forever. Seven years. Seven Taps. Seven Island Makers (we keep saying that cause we invited a cidery to participate & it sounds better than 6 Island Breweries plus one cidery OR “7 island Breweries, except one which is a cidery) Seven Dollars Seven Days Win an Island Hopper Beercation (or technically, Beer&Cidercation which, again, doesn’t quite roll off the tongue does it?!) Win a Beercation if you come hang with us this week - your bill is your entry. Oh yeah, we’re not JUST pouring 7 beers (& 1 cider😵‍💫) we still have all 30 thoughtfully curated taps pouring featuring all the latest & greatest we could get our hands on😘 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

Here’s your daily reminder that if you come by Maggy next week during our 7 year anniversary celebrations featuring 7 taps pouring 7 different beers & ciders from 7 different Island Makers at $7 dollars for 7 days you can enter to win a BEERCATION ON THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH OF VANCOUVER ISLAND!! Ferry, Hotel, tickets to Pacific FC soccer game & all kinds of goodies & tastings taken care of! See you soon. Oh! Also come by tonight & tomorrow cause the beer list is kick ass & it’s good down here at ye olde Maggy.

Now that Dr.Freaky Fingers has got your attention…(we had to do something to halt the scroll! Sorry). Two thumbs? It wasn’t AI we’re just rubbish at iPhone photoshop & in a hurry! (The dog needs a walk) 🎉WE ARE 7 YEARS YOUNG!🎉 To celebrate starting Monday May 4th (insert Star Wars joke here “may the farts be with you etc etc…) we’ll be running a little promo with a little help from some of our Vancouver Island Maker friends. For 7 days, 7 of our taps will be pouring 7 different beers & ciders from 7 different makers for just $7 dollars. Not only that, our feature makers have come together to put a lovely little prize together for you.

Hey guess what we made it all the way to SEVEN YEARS OLD. How the ffffu….? The Big C very much almost ended us very early days when we were just finding our feet & we have to admit it’s been tough going until recently we’ve been feeling the momentum gather. Feeling the love. Almost gave up. The burnout was REAL. But we didn’t, we persevered & today (sorry to be so fuckin corny here) but we really do feel LUCKY & BLESSED & GRATEFUL & THANKFUL & all the other things Eckhart tells ya to be every time you open your eyes in the morning so you can truly tap into the collective consciousness of the universe! Guys! YOU are our Collective. You are our Universe. And this is the voice of our consciousness (well, kinda. It’s mostly just some bloke who thinks of daft things to post once in a while when he remembers & tries to make you smile a little bit, or lick your lips & say “mmmm” or maybe even both) Anyway today is not silly or inane. There’s totally a point to this post. We have something to tell you: To celebrate our 7 year anniversary we are offering: 7 taps Featuring 7 Vancouver Island Makers For $7 For 7 days If you come through the Magnet during our anniversary week, your bill becomes your entry to our “Island Hop Beercation” - we pay your ferry, you get a night in a Victoria Hotel, tickets to Pacific FC game plus tastings, gift cards to all of our feature Makers. What a fun day out that will be!!! Come celebrate with us. HUGE thanks to our participating Makers especially the crew @smallgodsbrewing who know how to get the ball rolling on ideas & really keep pushing so disorganized busy blokes who also coach his kids soccer, sometimes fix things around the joint & also have whole other jobs at whole other places get their shit together to make things happen (thanks Chris🤓) Honourable mention to all the other participants for coming up with killer goodies for you. @driftwoodbrewery @heraldstbw @twincitybrewing @seaciderhouse @ilesauvagebrewing @whistlebuoybrewing STARTS MAY 4th

Thought you might be sick of seeing that other Pork Chop who’s been showing his face a bit too much lately so we wanted to show you a different one: This Pork Chop has friends (not like the other one) this Pork Chop likes to be grilled (it’s true ask him anything) & is hanging out with a mini “4 Cheese” Mac n Cheese (please don’t ask us to name all the cheeses, save that as a fun question for your server, yes really test them - if they say they can’t really remember but for sure Cracker Barrel & Laughing Cow they are being hilarious & making table rapport building jokes) anyways, it’s topped with Crunchy Bitz aka fancy herbed bread crumbs, has a Coleslaw side kick & a Guajillo Ketchup third wheel that really makes it a party. It’s our new feature. Want it in plain English? Grilled Pork Chop with a mini 4 cheese Mac & Cheese, Side of Coleslaw & Guajillo Ketchup.

Okay. So first of all we couldn’t find a song called REALLY GOOD LIST, so we went with irony. It has also occurred to us that this is the second L7 song we’ve used in posts in the last few weeks implying that we are/were some kind of L7 Superfans…we’re not. (Maybe just some deep buried 90’s teen grunge angst getting triggered lately for some reason?? Hello totally fucked up world!!) let’s not think about that. Let’s just think about our incredible beer list shown here in “Super Slow Do You Have the Patience or Are You a Speed Reader Slow Scroll Motion” too slow? Or are you riveted to the spot right now? Stopped dead in a cross walk staring at your phone until you’ve absorbed every last drop of that incredible beer list. KEEP WALKING it’s good but not quite worth dying for. Though have you tried that Changing Colours collab??? Ouueph, it’s simply to die for…wait. You’re not reading this are you? You already used your 17 second max attention span reading the beer list in the post. How many times did you try scrolling it faster with your special scrolling finger? Doesn’t work!! You just gotta take a moment. 1 minute 45 seconds you’ll never get back to let the whole thing roll by as you read, licking your lips while all your hoppy fantasies unfold. Have a great long weekend. We’re open Good Friday - Closed Easter Monday🐣
