On our walk back from our informal microbrew tour yesterday, Catman, Scott the Flyer, Dorian and I all agreed that a new Forum should be started on FlyerTalk.

This would be a place where each of us could post our two or three favourite home town restaurants -- and not necessarily the "best", most expensive, or most reviewed -- so visitors can get familiar with what's on offer when passing through. We would similarly be permitted to post our favourite hometown microbrews and/or brewpubs, etc. without eating into the three restaurant choices.

While we know that this is often done on an informal basis by many of us on a few of the current forums, organizing a dedicated Forum would make life easier for old timers and new comers alike to find spots in unfamiliar cities. Obviously, such a Forum could be open to abuse from hospitality service operators, but we've experienced such postings from self-promoters on almost all forums. Most such posts can be spotted as they would come from those with 1 or 2 postings, so recommendations can be taken at face value, or with a grain of salt.

Any thoughts from others before we pitch it formally to Randy when he gets back from his current travels?


Admitting to some revisionism. Mistakenly referred to Scott the Flyer as Quantum Leap. Appologies all around. Mea culpa. Too many beers over the weekend?
