"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

And here are a couple of articles:
The Happy Hopper, about Randy @ Sea Level
Top Beer Bars
March Madness for beer

It appears the use of Rouge's Roost isn't limited to our forum.

Re: Home brew disasters and other Coast articles
I've finally read all of the articles. The interview with Nash was either fabricated or heavily redacted. It's lacking his personal style. http://www.thecoast.ca/halifax/halifaxs ... id=3062886

Re: Home brew disasters and other Coast articles
Just realized I'd missed one of the most important things in the Coast! Bottom of page 4: Nash's RockBottom brews are at Happy Hour pricing all day Sunday! Might have always been that way, but I hadn't realized. I can see Sunday lunch/brunch @ RB being a regularly scheduled event. (Except this Sunday, driving to Saint John)

Re: Home brew disasters and other Coast articles
And on the subject of RB's Happy Hour pricing: I have a beer with friends at the Armview most Thursday afternoons. Now, the Armview is a nice place, but their beer selection sucks, and for the price of their draft I can get 50% more of Nash's fine beer if I wait for happy hour.chalmers wrote:Just realized I'd missed one of the most important things in the Coast!
