I drove to Steel & Oak Brewing Co. a bit up Columbia Street in New Westminster. It's not far but a bit further than is comfortable walking with a half-gallon sized growler. I got their flagship brew. A fridge isn't adequately stocked if there's no beer inside!

We are known as the Royal City. This was because Queen Victoria was asked to name the capital (at the time) of British Columbia and she reportedly suggested her favourite part of London.
