\u201cThere are probably 30 different trails within a 15-, 20-minute drive from town. World-class stuff. It\u2019s just beautiful.\u201d He also mentioned the big plans to develop Mount Hope, the mountain right behind the brewery, with mountain bike trials. There is also the annual chainsaw competition and the many chainsaw sculptures peppering the town. \u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a festival. It\u2019s always fun.\u201d Also, let us never forget that the original Rambo movie, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Blood<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was filmed in Hope in 1982, and there are <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismhcc.ca\/first-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several local sites to visit for Sylvester Stallone fans<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45948\" style=\"width: 508px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45948\" src=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-743x1024.jpeg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&resize=508%2C700&ssl=1\" alt=\"Rambo carving - Hope Standard\" width=\"508\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-743x1024.jpeg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&resize=508%2C700&ssl=1 508w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-743x1024.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 743w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-218x300.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 218w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-768x1059.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-1114x1536.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1114w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-1485x2048.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1485w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-407x561.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 407w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-611x842.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 611w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250-363x500.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 363w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1708w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hope-RamboCarving-e1692655282250.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A chainsaw carving of Rambo (photo: Hope Standard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Adam and I chatted, Kaleb and Mariah sampled the food and drink. Mariah raved about the tacos that I had missed out on. Her favourite beer was the First Blood Orange imperial wheat ale (named after the movie), which is Mountainview\u2019s bestseller and it is easy to see why. The blood orange flavour is well balanced in this thirst crusher. Kaleb liked his sample of the dark lager. My favourite was the Super Dry Lager that I bought as off sales and took with us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that too short of a visit, I herded everyone back into the RV, concerned about how late it was going to be getting into PG. It would be late indeed because we decided to make an unplanned stop a few hours later in 100 Mile House. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46213\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46213\" style=\"width: 933px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46213\" src=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CaskandCleaver_TedChild4-1024x768.jpeg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&resize=933%2C700&ssl=1\" alt=\"Ted and his niece Mariah enjoying their flights at Cask and Cleaver Brewing in 100 Mile House, BC\" width=\"933\" height=\"700\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ted and Mariah enjoying their flights at Cask and Cleaver Brewing in 100 Mile House, BC (photo: Ted Child)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bcaletrail.ca\/breweries\/cask-and-cleaver-brewing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cask and Cleaver Brewing<\/a> opened last year when two friends took over the space that used to be Jackson\u2019s Social House.

This relationship between Empty Keg and Merritt was undoubtedly deepened after the dramatic events of 2021 when Merritt first suffered nearby forest fires followed by highway-closing floods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou just didn\u2019t know what was gonna happen.\u201d First, forest fires in the area caused Merritt to be put on evacuation alert. \u201cWe live out towards that area so we got evacuated,\u201d Kyle remembered. \u201cWell, Merritt wasn\u2019t evacuated, so I guess we\u2019re sleeping at the brewhouse. Not bad. It could\u2019ve been worse.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having survived that ordeal, Kyle\u2019s house outside of Merritt would later be a blessing when he got a call at 2 a.m. that Merritt was being evacuated due to flooding. Kyle was able to billet a couple of families who had been evacuated. Luckily, the brewhouse was not affected, safe by a mere two blocks. Unable to brew or serve beer, Kyle instead worked with some local contractors on the rebuilding efforts. He was able to donate his wages to help local families. Additionally, Kyle used Empty Keg\u2019s brew kettles to boil water for those in need during the following water advisory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe love this town. If we didn\u2019t have their support we wouldn&#8217;t be here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Kyle told his dramatic tale, my companions and I again sipped some samples. I favoured the British-style beers while young Mariah favoured the lighter styles. We all enjoyed the mixture of seltzers we took away with us to try later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46226\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46226\" src=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-768x1024.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&resize=450%2C600&ssl=1\" alt=\"tacos and a flight at Mountainview Brewing in Hope, BC\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-768x1024.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&resize=450%2C600&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-768x1024.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-225x300.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-1152x1536.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-1536x2048.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-421x561.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 421w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-632x842.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 632w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16-375x500.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 375w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MountainviewBrewing_TedChild16.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Back to Hope for tacos and a flight at Mountainview Brewing (photo: Ted Child)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our plan of finding an RV site nearby was derailed by the fact that RV sites after the 2021 flooding are sparse on the ground. Plan B \u2014 to head back to Hope so I could try some Mountainview tacos \u2014 was quickly adopted. The drive along the Coquihalla from Merritt to Hope as the sun was dipping down low over the horizon was one of the highlights of the trip. In high spirits, we returned to Mountainview and I can confirm that the tacos are delicious. On our previous visit, Adam had related about expanding the food program. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of evolved. Now we\u2019ve got a really great chef and we\u2019re kind of a bit more of a Mexican-focused menu.\u201d He recommended the tortilla soup, which I can also confirm was wonderful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelling by RV is a novel experience for me and I highly recommend it.
