Hi Jalapeno,

Actually the best beer I have so far in my travels around NA is in a brew pub called Squatters in Salt Lake City. One of the owners is an English lady that brews a mean cask conditioned cream ale. Actually there are some good microbrewery beers here in Quebec but it's not like going down to a local UK pub!!

I'm in Texas next week, I'll see if I can find the beer you mentioned.

Tim,

I've been to that place, was there on business about 6 years ago. What we thought was a dry town and ended up there and had what is probably the best beer I've ever had in the US. Was gobsmacked to get such a great pint in Utah of all places.

I'll bet western Canada or B.C. has some good IPAs.

Small world!

What line are you in Jalapeno, I am in Aerospace with Bombardier in Montreal?

It's quite amazing how many of my male collegues are currently sporting metal mouths. I had a meeting yesterday with a potential supplier and their VP Engineering was also sporting a full metal grin! I do not feel at all odd about this, should have done it years ago.

I have not tried much beer in BC but I can recommend the wines from the Okenargen valley region of which Kelowna is about the centre. Very good Merlot's and Cabernet's at good prices.

Tim,

I'm in the internet switching and routing business; I work for an equipment maker. Over the years quite a few people in my line of work show up with grillwork because a lot of us weren't born in the US so have to sort the choppers later in life. I'm 43.

Funny, I've only been to SLC once, but sussed that brewpub out by day two...

Quite liked SLC surprisingly.
