Glug, glug, glug



Praise the beer! We love our beer, and we love that other Edmontonians love beer too. This gives us a few options such as Sugarbowl or Public House and since Public House is the newest kid on the block, it was time for a visit. Actually this was my second trip, but I was pleased to see favorites like Erdinger Dunkel, Leffe and Hoegaarden make an appearance. These beers are by no means difficult to find anymore, but finding them on tap is a real treat. Combine this with a plate of shibs aka shank ribs and you've got yourself a merry little Friday.

It's also time to throw a belated shout out to Devine Wines for their superb wine tasting events. I typically like my wines cheap and easy (ahem), but Devine Wines has done a fabulous job of educating us average joes of the merits of all wines. Their charcuterie and wine event this past Thursday exposed guests to the combination of dry sherry, Riesling and neutral reds with cured meats. I can only assume you plan on butchering, salting and drying them yourself.  Check out Devine's upcoming list of tastings from the very exotic to the very affordable: http://devinewines.ca/event
