3/365 - I've got a cold, I'm not DEAD

Ok, so somehow the universe shifts and you find yourself in Moncton, NB, Canada (eh?) on a Friday afternoon. If you drop by The Pumphouse Brewery you'll find many Monctonians celebrating the longest time before there's more work. Before you yell, yes, I'm not a Monctonian. I'm an emigré as I was born and raised in Nova Scotia. No matter, I'll be there having one of these:


The Pump House is a micro-brewery with many strange and unusual customers... er brews. In my glass, on the left, you'll find their 'Cadian Ale. Light and pleasant, it's the perfect way to start the weekend.

Next to my glass is an example of a customer's private mug. Housed (and cleaned) on the premises, my cohort simply tells the staff his mug's name (written on the bottom) and they bring it filled with his favourite poison. In the photo, the mug is holding Scotch Ale described on the website as:

Deep amber color with a smoky aroma. Flavors of caramel, followed by chocolate. Silky texture. Slight bitter aftertaste of roasted malt.

Doesn't that sound fantastic. The Pump House also features quality food and quite likely the best and friendliest staff in the city.
