Yet ANOTHER reason to visit BC!

T.

The pub sign is on the "to do list" I have a rough sketch, but haven't painted it out yet.

Well now, if you're bringing the Craggenmore I had better stock up the whisky bar a bit more. A friend is spending Christmas in Alberta and is bringing me back a bottle of Oban and Macallan's.

That's what I love about the internet. Everytime I forget about some great idea I had in the past, someone posts something to remind me of it.

I hadn't thought of the English pub approach though. It looks like you did it right! Except, I just set fire to the price of admission. Guess I'll have to restock my humidor.

Thanks for sharing the pics and starting the fermentation of ideas!

Since the drive will take a while from here to there, not sure how much, if any, of the bottle will be left when I get there, especially since the wife likes it too :sad:

How cool is that, Colin! You've just given me a great idea on what to do with our basement when we finally start to renovate. I see a private Irish pub in the future. 8-)

Everyone should have a nice place to retreat. This is the only "room" in the house that isn't full of toys. After all I should respect BC law and not admit anyone under 19 ;-)

Looks great, Colin!

I plan on doing this to our basement area once we finally move into my wife's grandmother's house.

She (the wife) has already okayed the preliminary plans.

And the best part is, I'll finally have the room and resources to start kegging the ol' homebrew in the 5 gallon soda canisters.

And, of course, dispensing it from my own bar in my own pub!

Oh, the keg would be nice. My homebrew place gets me 6 flats (24 on each flat), so that is what is under the bar for now.

David sent one of the pubs prized decorations to me a few months back. It's a train ticket from "Glenbogle" that he got when he was in Scotland last summer.

I've got a model tank car which I bought there which is lettered as "Glenbogle Dhu - Finest Scotch Malt Whisky."
Excellent pictures. Can almost smell the malt whisky. Just as well I gave up alcohol some time ago or I might have been tempted - in my younger days I was very much into single malts.
