ANOTHER ROBERT BURNS DINNER SUCCESS!

Warm, jiggling haggis

Keith, a Burns Dinner firgin, allows Lisa to inspect to see if there's anything worn under the kiltt. (TThere wasn't.)

Our eleventh annual Robert Burns Dinner and Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale Tapping is in the books. As it turned out, there were quite a few Robert Burns Dinner "virgins" in the crowd, though that didn't keep the room from erupting many times over the course of the evening. We started with haggis and we ended with Auld Lang Syne, and everything in between was riotous, including three single malt scotches, a strong Scottish spirt and a hearty lamb shank entree.

For those of you who missed it, there's always next year: our twelfth annual Dinner will be around the third Satruday of January in 2011.

Cock Up Your Beaver, Johnnie Lad!

Last Year's HOP-IPA-LOOZA

Our first ever Hop-IPA-Looza was a smashing success. Many of you came up to us to thank us for putting up a stellar lineup of IPAs just when summer gets a little boring.

For those of you who missed it, there's always this year. The date has been set: June 4. If you'd like to see what we've squirreled away so far, click here and scroll to the bottom.

The IPAs started flowing on Thursday, and the Pansings were there... Mark with a brand new haircut!

The boys show some Man Love, while Jim dresses appropriately, including a humulus lupulus ball cap!

When we designed our promotional poster for Hop-IPA-Looza, we didn't know that the character therein would actually show up to the event...welcome to tthe 'House, Durb! Hop-IPA-Looza was his first visit to the 'House.

You never know who you're going to run into a the 'House--especially when we're top-heavy with IPAs. See you at the 'House.
