:( and I brought some beer for you Trevor. Sorry to hear about the tree.

Fantastic! Great people, awesome food, a super event. Just got home, left early with Max (age 4 – the short one), and he even enjoyed it.

Thanks to X+ lovely wife for your hospitality. Hope to return the favour one day.

More fun to all!

Mark, Kathleen and Max.

X - if it's ok by you, I can swing by between 3 and 4 on the way to the Moose game to pick up my keg.

I'll be here all day.

There is a pair of RayBan sunglasses here. They probably aren't cheap, so if anybody knows who owns them, let me know.

Thanks to everyone that helped with organizing/picking things up yesterday, and thanks to Rob & Shelley for hosting. Lot's of great beer and food, and it was good to see a few more breweries out supporting the club. It was a great time as usual, and it was a perfect day for it!

:clap: great time as always. Thanks again to our gracious hosts. :rockin:
"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.
