ABOUT THE NOVA SCOTIA BEER DELEGATES
Nova Scotia
Jill Lutes carries walkie-talkies to the pub to inject a sense of mystery into her nights out on the tiles...
...Kate Dalgleish has kissed many a cod in search of a handsome prince (either that, or she's a bit tispy)...
...and Stacey Langille wears his heart on his sleeve. Or rather, on his upper arm! Ouch.
A Nova Scotia beer guide will primarily be concerned with having a good time.
A Beer Delegate is really a symbolic position. We want our Delegates to have fun.
Promoting the local beer biz is just a side-effect of their everyday beery enjoyment.
On the subject of fun, meet Jill Lutes. She's lived in England for five years, apparently on an intensive beer immersion therapy course.
Having returned more or less intact, now she's over-qualified to be a Nova Scotia beer guide.
Continuing this theme of people arriving in Nova Scotia with a bit of a beer pedigree is our next Beer Delegate, Kate Dalgleish.
And lah-di-dah! She's a LADY. Lady Cooper, to be precise. Pretty proud day for us, Ma'am. You're as good as royalty to us.
Finally, a prodigal son returns to NS. Stacey Langille was an Ontario Beer Delegate for most of 2007, before moving back home to Halifax.
Happily for us, he's decided to continue the effort in NS and will be our third Beer Delegate there. Read on for their cracking application speeches!
Your application speech, Jill
I
spent the last five years in England – the beer (drinking)
capital of Europe. I live with three other single girls. We
routinely take walkie-talkies to the bar.
This means we can (a) pretend we are secret agents and (b) remind the others to get us another beer even if we are in the bathroom, on the phone, or curled up on the floor of the bar, waiting for the nausea to pass.
I can hold my liquor, but it’s more entertaining for everyone when I don’t. I live in Halifax and our local breweries need more exposure! (Please) pick meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Your application speech, Kate
I'm a huge beer lover, maybe even a beer snob.
I've beer writing a booze (mostly beer) review blog called Liquor Log under the name Lady Cooper for a while now, and I've recently moved out to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I love all sorts of beer, especially exotic and unique types. I'm a sucker for brewpubs and microbreweries and, anywhere I go, I try to find local beers that I've never tried before.
Your application speech, Stacey
As a veteran of the UNOB this is my
second proposal speech. A
pioneering member from the
Growing up a Maritimer, I have fond memories of sneaking my first Keith’s, mmmmmmmmmm, sorry lost it there for a second. Oh the tales I could spill, but that’s what the articles are for.
After a long
adventure in
“I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow. I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow).Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear. This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer! (He likes beer)”
Cheers!
Great work, all of you!
Looking forward to your contributions.
