Dave needs your help!
Madeleine, Dave’s daughter, has a new band called Swinging on Birches. They have been selected as finalists in a competition that will bring them from Scotland to Canada. To get here they need people to vote for them. Simply, the band with the most votes comes. Dave hopes that if we can get them to Canada, we can get them to perform here in the Listening Room in September!
All you need to do is click on the QR code above and cast your vote. You can vote once a day every day until 21st of this month. You can also use any and all email accounts that you have. No limits! Every Vote Counts!!
Thanks!
Beer News!
Cannot Tell a Lie Cherry Sour is on tap! Nae Borra (“no problem” in Glasgow vernacular), a Scottish strong ale graced with a goodly dose of heather tips, is also pouring.
The Undauntable DIPA looks like it might finish up in time for this weekend!
The Beerfield Hefeweizen went into the fermenter last Friday and is coming along nicely!
With the addition of the last two we will be pouring a dozen of our own beers! Having a big selection makes all of the construction and expansion that occupied most of 2025 feel worth the effort! When you are here make sure to take a look at the books chronicling the project. They give Dave PTSD, but it’s nice to have the history documented!
Plans are in the works for brewing the Porter, Stout, ESB and Wit. We probably need to do a maple version of the pale too. Then we get onto the Route Fo-ah, rhubarb IPA and other summer beers.
Also coming soon will be MacMenigal’s Mark India Brown Ale. This one brewed in honor of a dear friend’s grandmother, who in the day was denied her wish to become a doctor. The friend then became a doctor fulfilling her grandmother’s dream and making her grandmother very proud as well.
In the Listening Room!!
Paper Wings will be performing on April 14th.

The 2026 Mug Club is open for renewals and new members!
Stop in to get a form and reserve your own mug on the wall! We have an additional 50 mugs being made by a local artisan bringing our total to 150 members. Membership gets you a 20 oz pour at a discounted 16 oz price, an artisanal mug, discounts on merchandise, a birthday beer on the house, a custom t-shirt with your club number and updates on new releases before they hit the general public.
I do have it on good authority that mugs are getting close to being finished!
