Graveyard Post I -- Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

05/12/2024 - 12/02/2024
A terrible misfortune occurred Monday, December 2nd, 2024. Sarah Love's cell phone was tragically lost. Unfortunately, this is where Kenny and Sarah Love stored all their notes on the pretzel reviews. All pretzel posts following the date of May 11th, 2024 were lost in the ether. Some of the locations we can revisit, while sadly other data, like the international posts from Canada, are gone forever. However, Kenny is the keeper of the snapshots, both of the pretzels and adventures; the saving grace is we still have some memories of these lost posts. Below are the stories of the not-so-forgotten Canadian pretzels found in the photos Kenny and Sarah Love had available. 07/07/2024 Phillips Brewing and Malting Co. -- Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

The first pretzel reviewed was at Phillips Brewing and Malting Co., tucked away in a quaint suburb of the city. Kenny and Sarah Love walked to the spot, enjoying the cool weather. It was humorous though, the Canadians kept complaining about the heat wave. Since Kenny and Sarah Love live in Phoenix they can attest the Canadian summer weather was not hot by comparison. Phillips is well known in the area and crafts delicious brews. It is a medium sized venue, long and skinny with a bar to the right as you walk in and tables to the left. The brewery was cozy and had a warm, welcoming vibe. "Pretzel" Menu Description: Fresh baked daily at Yonni's Doughnuts one block up the road on Discovery St. Served with a side of mustard. The pretzel came out with a light-medium brown color and looked very plump. The salt was plentiful and evenly distributed. Grain mustard was the accoutrement that accompanied it. Beer Cheese Dip was sold separately and Kenny and Sarah Love opted to add this menu option after the pretzel arrived. 07/08/2024 The Local -- Victoria, British Colombia, Canada "Beer Cheese Pretzel" Menu Description: jalapeno beer cheese, mustard.

Kenny and Sarah Love were surprised to see an alien staring back at them when the plate arrived from the kitchen. The dark crust was covered in an ample amount of salt. The baked treat came with three sauces. The third sauce pictured is a mystery since there are only two accoutrements listed on the menu. Kenny believes it is an additional helping of the jalapeno beer cheese. Although it is disappointing not to be able to share the final rating of either of these pretzels, Kenny and Sarah Love can attest the experience was exciting just because it was out of the country. It was a lovely vacation and finding two pretzels to try was both challenging and rewarding. Sincerely,

Kenny Muzzey & Sarah Love
