*historian alert* If you are writing about Labatt in the 1884-1894, you are actually writing about the nineteen-hundreds or 19th century, not the 1800s. A bit counter-intuitive, I know. It's been awhile since I've looked through old account books in an archives. Enjoy your research in one of my fav...

I picked one up from their stand at the Western Fair Farmer's Market this weekend. I'm curious as to what the final product will taste like :-?
I guess I'll drop in my "yeast pill" today at some point.

Then the server went and brought out a half dozen random beers from the cooler left by brewery reps. There were a couple cans of Wellington RIS, so we bought them. Wait a sec - they SOLD you beer that was given to them FREE by brewery reps? Wow. That just might be grounds for AGCO license revocatio...
