Will this official Pub Crawl be in the same vein as last years Stag Night Pub Crawls?

Not everyone is aware that during the summit, if anyone is caught drunk on the street downtown, the police will confiscate your shoes and pressure you to go to a hotel. You certainly cannot have more than 2-3 beers depending on your age, sex, and shoe size.

I suspect that may be apocryphal.

Besides, the secure area doesn't really extend up to Kensington. And it would be a counterproductive measure during the world cup. They'd run out of hotel rooms.

Rhino will be hosting a Taste Design event on Thursday June 24th with Beau's, Great Lakes and Black Oak brews served in different style glasses.

There will be 3 different style glasses roughly a half pint each and one style beer from each brewery.

Cheers,

Going to miss most of the stuff this week but made it out to Bryden's for a quick drink pre-Father's day, and hit Volo for a taste of the Vrienden's Wit before heading over to Cloak and Dagger had a delicious Lobster roll (seriously, YUMM! ) and Great Lakes Noyster Stout (very nice, straightforward solid stout) . Had hoped to make it to Highway 61 for the Monday night but it conflicted with our soccer game.
