SPOTLIGHT:  MISCellaneous Distillery 
 
MISCellaneous Distillery is proud to bring their latest release to the Main Street Farmers and Artists Market this week!  Popi's Finest Rum starts with the same ingredients and production process as Risky Rum, combining blackstrap molasses and dark brown sugar and distilling twice to ensure a smooth flavor. The rum is then set aside for six months, using small format barrels (five gallons) to accelerate the aging process. The barrel-aged product (named after Dan's great grandfather who lived most of his life in Cuba) was released just last week, and a few bottles of Batch #1 will be available at the market this weekend.  Tasting notes for this barrel-aged rum include salted caramel and dark chocolate, with a rounded mouth feel and a slightly herbal finish. Yes, it's delicious.  
Recipe of the Week: Risky Rum Daiquiri 
 
Swing by MISC. Distillery's booth on Saturdayto try a sample of Popi's...or restock on Gregarious Gin or Risky Rum, all summertime favorites!

  • 1.5 oz Risky Rum 
  • .5 oz simple syrup

Good morning Roy.  If there's enough pedestrian traffic to warrant this bridge than I think it is a good idea.

There must be a good reason for the town to propose a pedestrian bridge in Kentlands...

Roy, I've been hearing mixed reviews but, if there's enough pedestrian traffic I think it's a good idea. Safer for everyone.

Roy, I think adding this bridge does promote more pedestrian traffic, should be good.

It is a good project and will help to keep pedestrians safe and sound. Crossing busy roads is dangerous.
