Re: Greetings from Cape Breton!
I'm a transplant Caper living in Hali now. Glad to hear from some more capers, there are a few on the board already."Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Dang, that sounds like a time! I *might* be on the Rock in June, but not exactly sure when it'll be. Will try and give plenty of notice.Tony L wrote: Too bad you are not over on this side this weekend, Chris. We have our annual Big Brew tomorrow at Pete's place along
