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.

We'll be doing one each month, the menu for the February dinner will be out in a few days. :cheers2:
Hope it was a good turn out
38 or 40 slots reserved, 13 no-shows. Because of this, we may start asking for credit card numbers to make reservations. Still a decent crowd of 25.

Keith: currently we aren't selling tickets, just call the pub to make a reservation :cheers2:

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. :wtf:

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 :cheers2:

Never let a woman make decisions for you concerning food and beer if you can avoid it :lol: besides, you are way too skinny and could use a few extra pounds :D
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. :spilly:

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! He's :crazy: LOL

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.

A trip to the RB sounds like a proper kind of February Refresher ;)

ps. I go to the one in November, otherwise would join you for a pint of Fathom.

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