The Board

Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Down the road

Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.

Black Horse Ale is a historic Newfoundland beer brand with roots in St. John's, associated with the old Bavarian Brewing Company which operated in the city for much of the twentieth century. Black Horse became one of the signature local beers of Newfoundland before the consolidation of the Canadian brewing industry, and remains a nostalgic symbol for older Newfoundlanders. The beer market in Newfoundland has been significantly shaped by Labatt and Molson's national brands, but local and regional identity in beer has reasserted itself with the craft beer movement. Quidi Vidi Brewing Company, established in 1996 in the historic fishing village of Quidi Vidi near St. John's, is the most prominent Newfoundland craft brewery and produces Iceberg Beer — made with actual iceberg water harvested from icebergs off the Newfoundland coast — as well as 1892 Traditional Ale, the seasonal Honey Brown, and a range of other craft offerings. Iceberg Beer has become a significant export product and tourism ambassador for the province. Several other craft breweries have emerged in Newfoundland in recent years, including Yellowbelly Brewery in St. John's, which won international awards. Newfoundland also has a strong tradition of home brewing and the production of local fruit wines including partridgeberry, bakeapple, and blueberry. Screech rum, while not beer, is the province's most famous alcoholic brand and is inextricably linked to Newfoundland identity.

Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.

The kitchen

Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.

The hall

Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.

The yarns

He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.

Not the house

No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
