With a dozen brews new to our establishment on tap that evening we reached the "century" for featuring over one hundred different draught beers in the last year. As it turns out, we had representation from twenty-three different brewers at the Festival in the form of three dozen beers. In all 1810 samples were purchased and about one-third were rated. Perhaps it was the warm weather, but the shear number of tasters that didn't have the energy or inclination to fill in a tasting sheet was notable. At last years Springfest 45% of samples were rated. It seems that we hosted a particularly critical bunch this time around with the average score coming in at 34 out of 50, a full three points below last year. The full table of results can be found here. We have already added the ultimate old town Peameal Sandwich to our regular line-up; a delicious heart stopping combination of peameal bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg on a bun. In a couple of weeks we will be adding Chicken & Grilled Veggie Brochettes and a Green Curry Noodles & Broth (vegetarian or chicken). The California Greens salad will be altered into a Chef’s Market Salad with more interesting ingredients and the choice of fruity and savoury vinaigrettes. The Chicken Satay appetizer and Spicy Coconut Stir-Fry will make room for these additions and Le Grand Shepherd will take a summer vacation from the oven. After a nineteen year run, our chocolate pudding (Sex-In-A-Pan, Safe Sex, ...Better Than Chocolate) will be replaced with the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich (yes, a shorter, sexier, name is needed). Expect to see these changes as we start our summer hours the week of June 18 (Saturday open at 2:00 p.m., Sunday and Holidays open at 5:00 p.m., seven days a week close at 2:00 a.m.) The picture of our Roti (above) is taken from a review on blogto.com "..I kind of realized that alcohol really does solve all your problems.

Our semi-annual homage to fermented barley took place on Friday May 25 from 5 to 10 p.m.
The warm weather is finally upon us and we are going to make a few adjustments to our menu to help digest this development.
With influences as broad as Miles Davis and Eddie Vedder, to chilled "Island Vibe" complete with steel drums, Club Treehouse blend it all funky-like in a trance while singer Adam Bailie's mahine gun rhymes and freestyle flow keep it real. Full of energy. Serious fun and songs about hotmail.
To capture the essence of Ed in a concise few words is next to impossible. Ed is hope, truth, honesty, integrity, sincerity, hilarity… all bundled up into one prolific-lyric-writing, funky-mean-bass-playing guy. His passion and energy permeate his audience while Ed encourages his listeners to consider music as the “vibration of life which is urging us to quest forward into a continual balance with each other.
