Great idea: plan this so it's available February 19th at the earliest!

Set up a special night for this when you get it. Advertise it here and we'll come. Please do not post that you are about to tap it the night that you are doing so. Give us some heads up. I would really like to be there for this!

Is the Bog Father dead? I might stop by for lunch tomorrow if it's still got some life.

Just to clarify is the time given above a typo or is the cask festival really only going to run for an hour on a Sunday starting at 11 o’clock in the morning?

Sorry, the garage sale is May 28th this year. Your wife can still check out the shops in the Glebe & Old Ottawa South. If you can also convince her to see a movie at the Mayfair you'll have even more time for beer...

Cool. Thanks for the updates.

I know it is a work in progress, but I think a current draught list would be a great addition.
As it turns out, it looks like I'll be in Ottawa at the beginning of April, so I'm definitely swinging by. I always like spending time in the Glebe. And with that burger list, I may bypass The Workz and just eat there too!
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!
