Check-in is after 3pm on July 6, check-out is before 1pm on the 16th. Yes, this means I'm driving in Quebec on July 4.And the hotel finally sent me a reservation confirmation.

Even the craft distillers in eastern Ontario make rum, and we don't have a nautical tradition.Did some research. It looks like Steinhart Distillery, Ironworks Distillery and [url=]Glenora Distillers[/url] don't make rum, although Ironworks makes some intriguing liqueurs. Halifax Distilling Co. does nothing but rum. Caldera Distilling makes rum from sugarcane instead of molasses - must try that. Barrelling Tide Distillery and Coldstream Clear Distillery each have quite the line of liqueurs alongside their rums and vodkas.
Beer: Of course there's Alexander Keith's. I noticed there's also Trider's Craft Beer, Spindrift Garrison Brewing Co., Propeller Brewing Company, North Brewing Company, and Garrison Brewing Company - Garrison also makes soda.
I think that'll fill my car's trunk.
