The Ottawa 2017 Bureau has our city really excited with all the over-the-top activities that will be taking place toΒ celebrate the 150th anniversary of our beautiful nation. And what a better way to celebrate than to haveΒ a local company headlining the libation portion?!
It was also mentioned thatΒ Beau’s will collaborate with partners across Canada, including Big Rig and Kichesippi craft breweries, to create a special beer each month in honour of Canada’s sesquicentennial.
We wanted to share this sponsorship with lots of people – Beau’s Brewery co-founder, Steve Beauchesne
βWeβre very pleased to have a local success story like Beauβs Brewing Company partner with Ottawa 2017,β said Mayor Watson. βAs we welcome an influx of visitors to Ottawa for our countryβs 150th birthday celebrations, itβs a great opportunity to invite them to discover and delight in the many flavours of the capital region.β
βItβs an exciting time for Beauβs as we embark on a second decade of making excellent, flavourful beer, while staying true to our roots as a strong, independent, employee-owned and family-run operation,β said Steve Beauchesne, CEO of Beauβs Brewing Company. βThis partnership will enable us to share our passion for beer-making with Canadians and contribute to the success of Canadaβs birthday celebrations and the growth that it will bring to the region.β
After ten years of brewing excellence, they have become part of Ottawaβs identity and we are proud to partner with them to highlight this unique taste of the nationβs capital to residents and visitors alike. – Guy Laflamme, Executive Director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau
Beau’s Lug Tread, official beer of Ottawa 2017.
TheΒ Lug-Tread Lagered Ale isΒ Beau’s award winning, flagship beer.Β “This tasty golden ale is top-fermented (like an ale) and then cold-aged (like a lager) for a lengthy period, giving it light ale notes complemented by a lager-like crispness. Like all Beauβs beer, Lug-Tread is brewed with certified organic malts and hops, and local spring water. Lug-Tread is multi-award-winning, and versatile enough to suit all seasons and every occasion.”
Ottawa 2017 will be an exciting time for Canadians all over and it’s with these types of announcements that makes us wonder with anticipation and excitement what other news will we be hearing in the months to come.
Cheers to supporting local companies such as Beau’s and being proud that they will represent Canada on such a huge platform!

What could be more fun than to be warmed up by a cute fire area, as you indulge on some tasty libations and nibbles, at the beautiful ice bar that @rabbitholeott has creatively set-up for their guests to enjoy?!

I had the pleasure of spending time yesterday with John Diep, Chef and owner of @shinkasushibar
I was mesmerized as he assembled a truly beautiful and ever so flavourful Omakase sushi box (chefs choice). Sushi lovers, you need to check them out!!πππ£
.
I was in food heaven indulging in some lobster tempura, wrapped in a soybean sheet...it doesn't get better than this! So creative!!
.
Watching Chef Diep create and assemble my Omakase sushi was like watching an artist paint, except I had the pleasure of eating his outstanding creativity!!ππ
.
The edible art that leaves you wanting for more. My Omakase sushi consisted of an assortment of fish and ingredients that I had never tried before, and I'm so glad that I have now. I'm am talking about; soybean sheet encasing the lobster tempura (think of a tasty crepe), Kama toro sashimi (neck part of tuna, melt in your mouth), blue fin tuna, Hamachi topped with jalapeΓ±o (yellowtail), golden thread fin sashimi, chutoro nigiri (fatty tuna) topped with sturgeon caviar from Poland...to name just a few. And those beautiful flowers that you see, they are all edible, shipped straight from Japanπ± πΊπ£π―π΅ππ
.
β³οΈβ³οΈShinka's community delivery service now provides sushi lovers who live outside the city, a delicious opportunity to enjoy their offerings!! Now that's service!!β³οΈβ³οΈ
.
Check them out. You won't be disappointedπ€©

Being one with nature in @discoverdominica π΄π΄π§π₯
Who loves hot springs? I know I do, as they are incredibly relaxing and therapeuticπ₯π
.
Relaxing in one of Wotten Waven's well-known natural hot sulfur springs, which are believed to have medicinal qualities, was incredible!! The hot sulphuric water is mixed with river water, so it's not only tolerable but that it doesn't burn the skin. Complete relaxation!!
.
When traveling to new destinations, I try to immerse myself in cultural experiences, and this hot sulfur dip in Dominica was a mustππ€©

There's nothing better than impromptu dinner plans, especially when it involves @matiottawa
.
How can you go wrong with lobster tacos, PEI oysters, tuna crudo, salmon tartar rolls, and garlic gnocchi to their ridiculously tasty grilled steak?!πππ₯©
.
A much needed and long overdue visit at Mati. And without fail, they still managed to 'wow' me with their outstanding dishes and warm hospitality!π
.
Two things that are key for a successful establishment: Delicious food β
οΈ paired with optimal service β
οΈ and Mati fits the bill on that and then some!!
.
Go and treat yourself and thank me laterπ
