"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.

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

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

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)

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.
