\"Short-Wave-Ale-Colin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Colin Newell over at DXer.ca<\/a> for apprising me of a new (retro) craft\u00a0brew called “Short Wave.” Colin took the above photo last week featuring the venerable Grundig YB400PE and a can of Short Wave pale ale. What a combo!<\/p>\n

\"Phillips-Shortwave-Beer2\"<\/a>Phillips Brewing Company describes Short Wave Ale on their website:<\/p>\n

“Short Wave is a brand new pale ale where a medium malt body is electrified with a healthy dose of bright American hops until sweetness and bitterness are dialed to balance. Both of these pocket-sized cans are packing a full-flavoured punch, making them the perfect partner for wherever your next adventure may take you!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps the perfect “tuning oil” for your next Canadian DXpedition?<\/p>\n

Shortly after Colin posted this message, I received a note\u00a0from SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Bill (KD5XN) who passed along this news item about the new brew<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those of you who live in British Columbia, Canada, are in luck:\u00a0Short Wave pale ale is brewed in Victoria, BC. If you live in northwest Washington state, I think it may be worth making the pilgrimage across the border for this brew! Short Wave ale aside, BC is a remarkably beautiful province.<\/p>\n

But wherever you live or travel, cheers, SWLers~!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
