Hello, just moved back east

Post by Downs » Tue Nov 15, 2011 12:07 pm

Howdy Brew Nosers.

In fact I think I used to be a member a couple years ago when I was brewing but had to move to the ONT for a while but am now back.

Looking to get back into brewing, I bought a couple of the coke kegs that were for sale I think from a member from here.

Back in Lower Sackville and working in Bedford.

Looking specifically for a CO2 canister and regulator to build my 3rd keg fridge.
Maybe I should build a keezer this time?

Dude,
I spent MANY years out on Vancouver Island, and I also just moved home a few years back.

There's NO place like home and being in the maritimes!!

Welcome home and welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear that man....LOL

Esquilmalt sux big time, haha.

I moved out there back in '89, and only had the common sense to move back here about 6 years ago, best thing i ever did!

What is H&T by the way?

Yep! Though the brew won't be ready at the Rockbottom for at least another week or two.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

Hart & Thistle is between Salty's restaurant and the ferry terminal on Upper Water St. Right on the boardwalk in a mall type building that used to be called the Harbourside Market.

I'll be tapping the new beers at Rockbottom 1st week of December :)

So are you guys still meeting at H&T then?
Or do we just follow NASH around to wherever and whenever he opens a keg?
lol
I am free Saturday if there is any pint drinking going on

We don't have too many big meets down there like we used to but most of the boys still make their rounds. The 2 beers I have on tap down at the H&T right now are tasting really really good though so it's worth the trip. Well, if you like hops that cover up flaws I mean :lol:

We are doing the group buy pickup on Saturday morning, then planning on heading out for beer & lunch somewhere after that. I'd like to go to the Hart & Thistle, but it will depend on the group consensus.

Good to meet you @ Lion's Head, Downs.
And don't worry, most of us love all shades of beer, just that a good stout seems to be the breakfast beer of choice. No hate on for the Pales! :)
