Any recommendations for places to go in downtown Halifax for St. Patrick's? Food as well as GOOD beer are must haves
Is the Rockbottom doing anything for St. Patrick's? Can I reserve a table?

Good question. I'll be coming off nightshift, but I like getting out for St. Patrick's Day.

Not sure what we're up to at RB for St Pats just yet, well, other than two epic nitro stouts on tap that is

If by 'son' you mean 'not son' then yes...
Would it be sacrilege to use one of those stouts to make an Irish car bomb? cause I'm feeling naughty

It'd be better to use one of these I think:

Or these:

Isn't that illegal?
I suppose I could do green pepper/tomato based with lots of basil.....
edit: ...with green peppercorns. It's my idea now!!!!
edit: ...tomatillos. Calling the patent office now.

Barely. I was suprised the lineups at the bars last night were not so bad, guess the early risers couldn't make it the whole day.

I'm not sure yet if I'm still alive.
Too much good food and just enough to drink to make it interesting.

A few of us were at RB in the afternoon. Had the firkin and a burger, and had my eardrums blown out by the 5 members of the Rick Sanchez TRIO (or whatever that guy's name was).
JT was almost tackled by some drunk chick falling down in the middle of the crosswalk. Clearly she had been at it since early in the morning.

I found the music a little loud. Having the music is nice and all, but I'm thinking the majority of the crowd at RB is going for a social environment, not to sit there with the music
blasting while you try to talk.

The house party I went to frigging rocked. Food wise anyway. I rocked the beer scene with some Stone Ruination and other bigass ipas.

I fared pretty good... I picked up a couple of those Guinness packs the NSLC was pushing. Got to have some boiled dinner. Home relatively early but late to bed.
