Bread is made, duck is in the oven and I'm taking in a few APA's I have on tap. Yum.

I usually get Marg a bottle of scotch for x-mas. Any recommendations?

Let me know if you want a hand procuring some from NB. The Sackville ANBL usually has a pretty decent Scotch selection.

Tried the Rare Bird Stout earlier, not too shabby. Tons of coffee (of course), decent bitterness, 7%. Price was pretty steep, though, at $7/650mL.

Also, I forgot my pledge to not buy Sea Level in the city, and bought a sixpack of Crossing Muddy Waters. It wasn't a butter bomb, but the can was, yet again, way too full. Carbonation on the low side, but not too low for the style. Decent Brown Ale. $15/6-pack.

Not going to lie: if the best beer they've got is Keith's, I'm not gonna bother. Big Tide and Saint John Ale House have better.
However, if they do have better selection, maybe it's worth a visit next time I'm there.
well... you may want to pass then... I was there for the late night special of wings and a pitcher for $20, an old habit from my pre-craft beer days.

We ended up at another bar (Peppers maybe) that had a few types of Picaroons on tap... I drank many of those and felt like crap-poop the next day... made it out for some all-you-can eat sushi at Boaz and I think we bankrupted them. They may not let us back in.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Stout's in NL stores now, eh? I know PEIBC's targeted NL as a place of interest / growth.

Drinking last year's Ol' Fog Burner. More like a strong DIPA... juicy & citrusy with bread dough.

Interestingly enough, it is. I have been getting Picaroons Yippee and best bitter also, although the Yippee flies off the shelf and is hard to get.

That Stout is one fantastic bit of grog... almost seems a shame to wipe the taste out of my mouth with the Twice As Mad Tom IIPA :cheers:

Funny Pics is in NL in bottles, and not here. Two years ago, Dunbar talked to me about how it made no sense to sell here, as he'd be losing money compared to selling in NB / NS.
