Awesome time. Dear god - I'm still so full.
The pairings were very good. For $30, it was an absolute steal. Booked 3 tickets for next month.
Well done Mr. Nash!
Thanks again.

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
38 or 40 slots reserved, 13 no-shows. Because of this, we may start asking for credit card numbers to make reservations.

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.
Keith: currently we aren't selling tickets, just call the pub to make a reservation

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
13 no-shows is rough... I think credit cards for reservations is entirely reasonable.

Weekday events pretty much count me out these days.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
Yup indeed, some of them called a few hrs ahead to cancel but still, I think a CC would deter a lot of that.
Dry-hopped APA cask tomorrow (Firkin Wednesday) at 4 pm.
I've asked that they do a beer infused food special for firkin Wednesdays, something simple, tasty and cheap. Soooo.... it's Beer Mac'n Cheese @ $6 per plate or $10 with a 12oz cask ale. We may change this up from time to time to try different things but for now we'll be doing this weekly

Never let a woman make decisions for you concerning food and beer if you can avoid it


I mean, look at me, I never got this body exercising or listening to my wife and all the pills my Doctor gives me proves it.

Whoa whoa whoa....LOL...What he's not telling you all, is that buying a rowing machine was HIS idea, and HE put a timeline on when we should be able to have the funds to buy one!

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
Greetings friends. The Brew Widow and I are going to be in Halifax from Wednesday evening to Sunday. She's attending a conference but I'm pretty much wide open. I'll keep an eye on these bar threads and hopefully we can meet up for a beer or six.

Would love to go, but it's a rough week work wise, so it's just not gonna happen.
