Hi, this is the Beer Goddess, after a few months I am finally entering my own postings. Recently I had a chance to travel back to the GWN (Great White North) where I stumbled on to a wonderful pub in Manotick, Ontario called the Black Dog Bistro. A quaint pub very tastefully decorated, indoor and outdoor seating, with a fine selection of craft beer and a delicious looking menu beyond the typical pub grub. It is located not too far from the Ottawa airport; I wished I had found this gem of a pub sooner. All the food that passed by looked absolutely delicious, I did not have time to eat, and unfortunately only time for one pint (darn it all!). My single choice was a craft beer from Beau’s Brewing Company, located in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. The beer I drank was Lug Tread Lagered Ale. The beer was served in a Beau’s glass which had their trademark tractor on the front as well as etched into the bottom of the glass. The beer tasted mighty fine, and I can tell you it pretty much took a tractor to pull me out of this place. Black Dog’s motto is “informal cheer, infinite simplicity, intimate relaxation, inspired cuisine”. The motto should have also included invitingly wonderful. I bet you can guess where I will go on my next trip back.
