Robbie Burns Day … Week

Robbie Burns Day Week:

Your Southsiders Director of Events, Wendy Turnbull, has worked with Doolin’s to put together several social events for our members next week.  First Kick is just over a month away so this is a perfect time for us to get together, talk about the upcoming season, and celebrate Robbie Burns Day.

Let other poets raise a fracas “Bout vines, an’ wines, an’ drucken Bacchus, An’ crabbit names an’stories wrack us, An’ grate our lug: I sing the juice Scotch bear can mak us, In glass or jug.

-Robbie Burns, 1785

Calling all lady Southsiders! We have been invited to join the Women’s Drinking Club, hosted by Doolin’s. This club meets monthly to sample beers, wines, scotches, etc and learn the details behind how it’s made.  This month we’re learning about beer with Megan Hall of Whistler Brewing Company. At each session you will get to eat appies, sample beverages, meet other lady southsiders, and learn about the alcohol you’re drinking.
