Come one and come all to the wonderous, the magnificent the ultra delightful stupendifying bloggylishous journal of the one, the only, biiiiigggggg Phil. In the next few moments, he intends to do an ultra double backflip turnaround jump 5 times before landing in *this* small bucket of water. If you don't believe me - Just Read ahead! You might even read about his trip to Canada!

Brick Brewery Tour

On Tuesday the 8th, I organised a trip to the brewery tour, for 22 CLVians.
The Brick Brewery is what's known as a "Craft" brewery. So it's fairly small. The Tour consisted of mainly all you can drink for the two hour period, with a short interlude into the workings of the brewery.



The guy who started the Brewery apparently researched many breweries before beginning this one here in Waterloo. At each one he picked up a bottle or two of beer to display around the bar. It has a great effect and can keep anyone busy for ages looking at each of the bottles.



The Brewery itself.

I think many would agree that most of the Canadian beers are virtually tasteless, there was one variety, Red Cap that you could consider tap water.


Above Left: Hey I think I have found a good one! Above Right: Ahh the Germans and their beers.



Above Left: There are sooo many Beers, and Jutta... Above Right: Amelie and Fred with many a beer on the bar.



Above Left: Allison and Isabelle, the only non-international student there, Above Right: The whole mob minus me.

Below: The bartender & Sven, who managed to keep up with the demands of 22 international students at an open bar. And many of whom who were German.



Afterwards, we made our way to Fed Hall for the "Beach Party", unfortunetly it was a little cool and lacking in sand & surf. But we managed. For the first 2 hours, it only us in the hall, but we weren't going to complain.





At about 2am the night was over and we made the voyage home through the now fairly heavy snow. Besides the cold that comes with it, snow can be fairly cool! (no pun intended)

Hallo Philip!

Langsam kommen meine Erinnerungen zurück! Ich denke, spätestens nachdem du erkannt hast, dass jeder aufgehängt gehört, der Bier verschenkt, hast du deine Einstellung zu dem kühlen Blonden deutlich verbessert.
Ich hoffe, dass wir in unsere gemeinsamen Zeit noch einige Wochenendbiere mehr trinken können und uns dabei vor Augen führen, dass nach dem Pils auch immer vor dem Pils ist.

na dann also: Prost

Ok, I tried to translate all that guff, and all I worked out was everyone was hung up (obviously hung over) and "has your attitude towards the blonde girl changed (obviously Phil went rank at some blonde girl...)

Am I close?
