Well, I've submitted my dissertation. "Effects of dark specialty malts on the growth of common brewing bacteria". I'm tired... a couple of beers, then I think I'll go to sleep early. I'm drinking a Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted and eating Ritz crackers... the combination of the two leaves the taste of chineese food in my mouth. Weird!
Anyway, some good beer-drinking tomorrow night then on Monday morning bright and early I begin the trip back to Canada. As much as I like Scotland, I think being away makes me know why I love Canada.
See (some of you) soon!
Cheers!
Sounds like hard work. Have a good time and shall let you know when me and Helen are planning to adventure over to Canada. By coincidence Calgary was on TV just the other day on a documentary, looks very snowy, lots of mountains around.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo, Brian's heading back to C-land. See you soon, man. I hope you're coming by the first EHG meeting to regle us with tales of Beer from abroad. Mondays this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian.
ReplyDeleteI am a brewer from Brazil who is planning to study Brewing at Heriot Watt. I recently found your blog, which was fantastic to get a picture of what it is to study there.
I am wondering if we could exchange some information regarding the course, it would be of great help to me.
You can send me an email: brunovolpi@gmail.com
Thank you, and congratulations!
Bruno
Hi Brian,
ReplyDeleteI was made aware of you blog through my partner. Our company has launched a beer brand in Cape Town South Africa, called Jack Black.
We are currently contract brewing, but are in negotiations now to open our own microbrewery.
We are looking for a brewer.
We also have plans to brew Jack Black in Vancouver at some point, as my partner and I are both Canadian citizens.
If you are interested to explore this opportunity, I would be pleased provide more details. my email: ross@jackblackbeer.com.
Regards, Ross McCulloch
