Beer and Bars

Ok, I have been on a bit of a "jungle run" lately and have been spending some time at many different pubs, bars, and night clubs trying to meet new people and enjoying different environments. It has been a great experience and here is what I have learned:

First off, I have to say I am sometimes attracted to things that tend to be bad for me just to see what will happen. I am allergic to wheat of all things and so I sometimes like to order a popular beer here in Saskatoon called Harvest Wheat or Honey Wheat. Last night I found by far the greatest version of Honey Wheat at The Spadina Freehouse. I was immediately surprised by the flavour and smoothness of it. I asked the bartender where it was brewed and he shocked me by exclaiming that it was made by Great Western, the only all Canadian brewer left on Earth! I am proud to say that they have continued to make a great product for years and in fact have now surpassed the best of beers anywhere! Thanks and keep up the great work, Great Western Brewing Company! Before I forget, the Jerk Chicken skewers were amazing with mango sauce, what taste! Thanks again to The Spadina Freehouse.

Another place I have re-discovered is Earls on 2nd Avenue. A great atmosphere with a nice mix of music with fantastic screens to watch the NHL Play-offs. The beer pints are a great price too!

Working the early morning shifts has really forced me to find these and more great places in Saskatoon, what a fun city, round the clock. My morning walks have really inspired me to write a few more original songs, too bad I don't have recording contract or something. Maybe I will try karaoke next.
