the old black rum

Lately, I have been in the mood to drink. It's a strange feeling, I don't do it very often considering we don't know many people here, it's expensive, and so on.

So last night we went out and had a few rums at a very interesting pub called the Hop in Brew. It's basically a really old house with taps of beer thrown in at the back. (It actually reminded me a lot of Brutopia in Montreal) Apparently they are well known for their draft, but we tried a few and they were pretty terrible. The rum was delicious, however. We met up with my friend Marcel from work, and a few of his friends. It was a great time! I really liked the pub. It had a very local feel to it, but very different than the usual cowboy-fighting-oil rig sports pubs you find in Calgary. And bonus, it's only a few blocks from my work. Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Calgary, and we'll definitely be going back.
