One of the many things I miss from my time in Scotland. Good choice!

Not entirely sure yet. I'll definitely be visiting friends in Edinburgh and Fife, but otherwise may do a fair bit of aimless wandering. There are a few places I didn't get around to visiting when I...

That's something I'm definitely looking forward to when I get back to Scotland in the summer: a pint of heavy. :)

Arrived home after my weekly knee-trashing soccer match and decided I was in the mood for an IPA. Luckily still had a Davidson Brothers IPA hiding in the back of the fridge, forgotten since last...

:) Nope. The red gown is for undergrads and I was a postgrad. Besides, I wouldn't have worn it anyway. The only time I wore a gown there was to pick up my PhD. :) and that one's blue, not red. I do...

I was in St Andrews. Although it's a small town, it's filled with students and academics from around the world so there's a ready-made customer base for interesting drinks. :)

A BIG +! to craft brewers! While there a few big, well-known brews that are excellent (I'm thinking things like Guinness, Erdinger, Stella, etc.), so many big brewers produce such boring,...

Nice! I 'discovered' this one when I went down to the States last fall, and I'm looking forward to spending some time with Mr. Adams' finest in the Adirondacks in about a month and a half. :)

I'm with you on the Belgian Wit for sure! But then I'm a bit of a Weissbier fanatic. :) I've had Muskoka a few time and agree that's a good 'un, and last time I was in TO I was also introduced to...

Thanks for the tip! I haven't been to the Mill St brewpub here in Ottawa for far too long, so this is a good reason to go back. There aren't *that* many things I'm thankful to Toronto for, but...
