Leaving Canada

Post by Garthicus »

Hey all,

It's with a heavy heart that I let you all know that as of this Saturday I am leaving Toronto to go back to Ireland for a couple of months before leaving again to move to Australia where I am taking a job in Brisbane..

The good news? I get to sample all the awesome things that are happening in the Irish beer scene and then discover what's going on in Oz..

The bad news? I leave behind the best friends I've ever made in my adult life... It's gonna be an awfully emotional week! (I'm a super cry baby!)

Paid for our one way tickets to Ireland yesterday. I feel so weird.

Anyhow, to those of you who I've had the pleasure of meeting - it's been great! For those of you who I haven't gotten around to meeting yet - let's have a beer sometime, somewhere!

Cheers,

Al

I think he meant this:

The other one is a mirror (older database) as I was trying to upgrade the forum software. Clearly I didn't finish :-)

Huh - apparently I miss some interesting stuff by never reading the "What're you drinking right now?" thread...

I hope your part of Ireland has a better beer scene than my part (Belfast).

If you click on the link below and go to the post at 30/07/12 you'll see you're arriving just in time for the Dublin Craft Beerfest.
