Big news from my old stomping grounds:
The Labatt Beer Institute, which officially opened in Halifax on Wednesday, will train students on everything from the history of beer to how to pour it properly. "What I would have thought in my day is that there was very little about beer that the students didn't know," joked [Nova Scotian] Premier John Hamm. In fact, it is a serious course designed to help students taking the hospitality and culinary arts program. The classroom is a pub setting with 16 brews on tap.Having gone to the college the Premier did with the next generation of his classmates I would support his estimatation of the intellectual situation among Halifax college kids.

I went for a tour a few weeks ago with my area rep: looks pretty impressive! Sampled the first of their draught...I'll be bringing my staff there very soon for their "sKoolin". We were voted "The Best Pint Of Stella Artois" by Bill Spurr (Chronicle Herald) in December - Beating The old Triangle and O'Carrols! DRAUGHT MASTER LOOK OUT CAUSE THE SPITFIRE BOYS ARE IN TOWN!!!
Cheers lads, Troy
