In all the hubbub before our vacation I forgot to mention what a busy weekend it was, imbibing-wise:

Dec 12: I had dinner and worked at Batch while Lindsay met up with a friend.

Very nice @batchtoronto milk stout. The gentleman stalking toward me in the background was asked to fetch a fried chicken sandwich, there's a good chap. #beer #onbeer #milkstout

Dec 13: we shared a special bottle of Lightfoot & Wolfville Pinot Noir with Laura (owner of Chez Nous)

This was freaking delicious. Well done @lwwines. #wine #nswine #pinotnoir

Dec 15: work holiday party, so we drank the good stuff before we even left.

Holiday party tonight, so. #wine #onwine #gin @dillonsdistills

Dec 16: hangover breakfast at White Lily Diner, and late lunch at La Carnita with Lindsay’s friend Tess from home

Dec 17: I had an espresso at the John Street Dark Horse (nee Smokeless Joe) before seeing the new Star Wars, which I really liked. Later that night we went to The Wren for dinner. I don’t quite remember why; it was a school night.

Still feels super weird being in the John Street @darkhorsecafe. #ThisIsWhereILearnedToLoveGreatBeer #RIPOriginalSmokelessJoe #espresso #coffee

Too strong a beer for a school night: @bellwoodsbeer 3 Minutes To Midnight Imperial Stout with cherries. #beer #craftbeer #onbeer #imperialstout

Dec 18: I had a beer at Hi-Lo while Lindsay shopped, and she joined me for a couple more. The Saulter Street Brewery gang was there and bought us one of their Pilsners!

A pint of St Mary Axe while others shop. #beer #bitter

Halo key lime saison. Somehow tastes even better because they're playing the entire "Gish" album by Smashing Pumpkins. #beer #craftbeer #saison

The @saulterstreetbrewery gang bought us (wait for it) a Saulter Street pilsner! Such a great beer. Thanks all! #beer #pilsner
