January 2, 2006 [ Updated December 27, 2006 ] I visited the brewpub on December 29, 2005; and tasted their draught beers in the 5oz samplers for $1.50 each; a price that cannot be beat. I don’t know what I was expecting in regards to ambience, it was somewhat lighter inside with ample light entering from the windows while light wooded furnature fillied a larger and more "open concept" room than anticipated room. The benches at the booths are very comfortable though perhaps 2 inches lower than I have been used to, leaving the table at the mid-section of my chest... at least I could gaze into my wifes eyes which were at the same level. The patrons filed in and out - creating a good mix of young and old - student and business men and sports fans speckled the joint. The most important feature though was the beer - the chalkboard displayed 16 taps primed for a tasting, the samplers were an ample 5oz size and a strange new feature to my fatigued Saskatchewan eyes: a fridge filled with Premium Imports ranging from Thomas Harvey to Abbaye du Rocs to Lagunistas Maximus and Brown Sugga. No doubt Saskatchewan’s mecca brewpub! |
