Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom Brewpub
Ok folks,
To try and get back into our old habbit of having a weekly informal gathering at a local pub, let's go with Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom.
The firkin hits the bar top at 4:00pm every Wednesday, so anytime after that will work. If you plan on going, post up in this thread (it helps bring others out), but if you decide last minute that you want to go and don't get to post, pop in anyway! Be sure to get there as early as possible - you never know when the firkin will run dry!
The address is:
5686 Spring Garden Road
[Under Your Father's Moustache]
Halifax, Nova Scotia
B3J 1H5
Nash, what's the firkin going to be this week?

Thinking about it. Anyone from up here want to car pool? Wednesday is my afternoon off, so won't be so knackered.

Re: Brewnosers weekly pub get-togethers
I'm coming down. Be there at 4.30ish. I want to try that conan beer, and I've been missing the RB.
If anyone wants a ride down give me a shout. I know Keely is away and Kirsten is working but we're planning a group trip down some other Wednesday and hoping others will come so he have a car full.
I emailed Ed to see if he wants to come tonight.

Re: Brewnosers weekly pub get-togethers
I heard that they were bringing back the trailer park boys 

"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.

Re: Brewnosers weekly pub get-togethers
Fun!
Brewnosers there; Jimmy, Greg, Jessica, Peter, Sandy and Liam (in the order they came). Tried the Conan Citra beer I wanted to try and liked it, Asked the questions I wanted to ask and got the help I needed (of course), Nice drive home (need to clean my windshield). Waved to Freddie Wilson on the Freddie Wilson overpass.
Love the Brewnoser/RB thing. It was like old times. Well worth the trip.
Ps. My conan starter is whirring away and I have my citra in the freezer
planned the brew a couple of weeks ago.

Well that was fun (just getting home now!). Good to see some familiar faces as well as some new ones. Pretty good turnout - Chalmers, LiverDance and Boogie showed up as well.

Re: Brewnosers weekly pub get-togethers
Sorry about the late arrival, thanks to Jimmy for sticking around and keeping up company while we enjoyed the Conan and Fathom.
Will try to arrive earlier next time! (Though I won't be able to make it next week, unfortunately)
