I was there from 1-4 today awesome time, and yes the IPA was great!

A pizza's weight should be 50% cheese minimum.

Agreed!

You guys are gourmets when it comes to the barbecue but neophytes when it comes to pizza.

You need to spend a few years around the province to broaden your perspective.

Oh, really. Kyle, I know you're a pretty smart guy, but don't you know "Thai pizza" is an oxymoron?

"There's a word for pizza without cheese. It's called 'brocceta'."

Sorry, don't remember where I heard that.

[TJ Brew]

Anyone else headed down to Rockbottom to taste Nash's latest Firkin? I am headed down around 3 for a sample or two

I wasn't advocating no cheese at all, just an amount that compliments the other ingredients, not a slab so thick that you can't taste anything else and when it cools it's better than the crust at holding everything together. I doubt Nash wants Rockbottom to serve Pictou County pizza with his beers.

Pictou county style pizza makes a lot of money. That's because it tastes good.

[KMcK]

I don't doubt that. So do McDonald's, KFC, Dairy Queen etc. They have their place, but it's not in a classy pub with high quality microbrews.

[mr x]

'Pictou county style' pizza is the equivalent of the old beer cheese soup. Class has nothing to do with. It's about flavour.

[KMcK]

Why don't you bring some to the next meeting for us to try? I am intrigued.

I vote Crown's. although it's never quite as good after reheating

[mr x]

Was just about to mention that on reheating. At one time, you could buy them uncooked, so I'll look into that. But what I can do is bring some sauce, as Sam's sells it now. And the right sauce is 90% of the battle, especially so in a pizza with heavy cheese. You need the right flavour to balance everything, not unlike a beer. In other words, a pizza with heavy cheese topping, with a bottled tomato or bbq sauce, will be a fail.

Brown sauce pizza that is gravy based in Pictou County made me sick, or was it the 4 pitchers of draft??? I shudder when thinking of eat New Glasgow pizza.

[mr x]

The recipes I have are not gravy based, but that's not to say thay they couldn't be depending on the cook. You can get a deep color from cooking tomatoes 6+ hours. FWIW, you wouldn't be the first person to say they couldn't handle it.

[bluenose]

SWMBO makes a good Pictou County brown sauce, and there's no gravy in it

the pizza here is kinda like Keith's, those who like it like it alot

you can still get pizza from Sam's uncooked. Many an uncooked pizza has gone to other places after people from Pictou County have come home for a visit

I'm absolutely certain that 4 pitchers of draft can't make you sick, though it's surprising how often I get some kind of food poisoning if I drink that much.

Dirt Chicken, Hogie and I are meeting for lunch at 12:30, if anyone is available.

I sometimes wonder if I'm allergic to alcohol... I sometimes get upset stomach and blurred vision... sometimes even difficulty speaking... sleep good though

[mr x]

Damn, would have hooked up with you guys. I believe myself and JohnnyMac are headed down tomorrow late afternoon.

Looks like I'll be heading down for 5ish.

[NASH]

But are any of you around in the next 20 minutes? Load of malt coming in

If anybody is heading down from the north end in the next couple hours, let me know. I could use the exercise, but....
