Beau’s Tap Takeover at the Wellington Gastropub, Dec. 2

Shaun from the WG mentionned this to me a few nights ago. Seems it'll be 10$ for entrance with a glass. He's still working with Beaus on taps. More details to come.

another micro in Ottawa

Scotty, the bartender at Arrow and Loon, told me that a new microbrewery will open in Ottawa's Westboro area. It'll be called Beyond the Pale....opening should be in September.

There's a boom in GOC town!
