Not just beautiful beer...

....but beautiful packaging. I first had a bottle of Beau's in Ottawa a couple of summers ago and loved it. Apparently they've been scaling up production and getting their brew across Ontario. These 600ml bottles are perfect for sharing.

Gorgeous reno of Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa

On Friday afternoon, I dropped by the museum to check out the newly renovated space. The original tower (that didn't last very long) has been replaced with a gorgeous glass space. Interiors have (apparently) been returned to original colours.

Very nice integration of new with old, say, compared with the ROM, ahem.
