Yeah, well, you should keep that thing in a terrarium. Huggy Bear: Man, what the hell is a terrarium? Leon: What the f. is a terrarium? Lamell: A terrarium's an artificial ecosystem. It's designed to simulate Corky's natural habitat.

^ Ya, that's better, Dukes never used the windows as doors. On a side note, Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear was the best ever casting move by Hollywood. Someone should get an Academy Award for that.

I was thinking about a "hood slide" rather than a scramble.

i was actually hanging a projector screen back there, and hung the tv wall mounts yesterday.Any update, OSJ? I poked my head in when I was down there today, thought I might have seen you doing some trim at the back brick wall.
the floors are being sanded and finished today and tomorrow, so we arent in there for a couple days. i will take some pics and update you guys tomorrow afternoon.

My builders are working on my back bar this week while the floor guys are in there.
front section is tiled with a black slate and turned out great as well.
As for a opening date, I'm still waiting to hear back from the Liquor board. LOL

You have some nice beers on your list somewhere below but have you given any thought to bringing in some American craft beers? Even if you rotated two taps with US craft brews? That is something that is largely missing in Victoria and would be a great addition to an already great pub. Phillips, Driftwood and VIB are available everywhere in town and while they each have a couple of nice beers maybe 1-2 choices of each would be enough? Just my two cents.
Cheers!
Any suggestions? LDB would have to carry them, or it would be a bloody nightmare, methinks.

we used to have a rotating Rogue line.
Plus, when possible i would rather keep our money here in Canada.

I didn't have any particular beers I'd like to see, just different stuff to the norm we get here. To be honest I don't really care for a large majority of the Phillips beer and to see 6 of their beers plus the stuff from Stanley Park (which again is ok at best) just doesn't make me excited. I love the idea of promoting local beers and I understand that the US stuff is pretty pricey but it also separates your pub from the others in town. There are only a few places I'm aware of to get something different, Clives, Spinnakers and Veneto and none of them has the really great pub vibe that GH does.
OSJ I also get the promos and glassware and other stuff you get with local...I was just throwing out my 2cents.
Anyhow happy to be able to join in the conversation.
Cheers!

i may carry some us craft beer in the btls at some point or off and on, but by doing my reno and installing a 44 beer draught system i am not really focusing on btl beer sales. I understand haviny something for everyone, but if you cant find a beer you like out of my selection thats unfortunate.How about some US craft beer in bottles. I love the Acme IPA out of Fort Bragg CA. The Flying Beaver in Richmond carries it.
