I'll be in that way around 1:30, have a few stops to make, and need to get the kids by 3. May stop in H&T for a quick pint if time permits.

I tell you - it was hard going back to work after 2, knowing I was going to hit up the stubborn Goat for a bite and a couple before the Moose game.

Wreckoning and Balticus are both little stunners. Therefore I recommend getting on them :lol:


I think there's a few seats left for the wee beer dinner coming up on Monday evening at 6 if any of you are interested, I posted the deets above, or a link to the deets. :cheers2:



After 3 months in a 12 yr Glenora barrel, I pulled 175 L of Wreckoning out of it today, I'll have it on tap after alcohol testing is done this week :cheers2:

Hard to get a decent shot of the hop cluster with the lighting in there but they're sweet!

For those of you that didn't attend the beer dinner.... You missed out on a pretty sweet dinner and a smoking good deal at $30 per head! For those that did come out for it; great seeing you and thanks for the support!

We'll be doing one each month, the menu for the February dinner will be out in a few days. :cheers2:

Nice, Family is sick (Ole boozer if the only "healthy" one).

I think Shane would have cut me a deal on a ticket tonight. Or charged me extra.

Hope it was a good turn out. Glad it will be a monthly thing. If I wasn't in Port Hawkesbury this week, I would have been there.
