Sweet, but very strange, given that it's readily available here (and served in its proper glassware). It sounds like Dimitri hasn't told his family that they can drink the beer locally.

I'm a Laurier alum and as such it's my right, no DUTY, to loathe Western, ahem, University, it's garbage football team, and by extension the city it's in. Sorry. That's just the rule. Laurier folk hate Western more than that university down the road.
If Waterloo rules, than it's London that has to drool.
I can have my degree taken away if I don't speak out against the football team, it's faux-gothic architecture, and their baby-eating alumni.
Being a Western alum, I should probably feel the same way about Laurier; however, the school is so insignificant that I forgot where it's located. Thanks for reminding me. I'm not a Mustangs fan but I see that they've won 2-3 times as many Vanier Cups, Churchill (Uteck) Bowls, Atlantic (Mitchell) Bowls, and Yates Cups as the Golden Hawks. How that makes them a garbage team in comparison to Laurier is a mystery to me. And in terms of Western's quality of education, it consistently
ranks as a
top 10 Canadian university. Throw in all the good beer spots that we have, and I'd much rather be a student in London than Waterloo.
On an unrelated note, I'm disappointed to hear that Stephen Rich has left the Spearhead team. Not sure what that's all about, but he posts on the Towel occasionally so we might hear from him in the coming weeks. Cheers!
