It hurts to recall that it was 14 years ago when my best buddy and I discovered that a mystical event called HopScotch was happening at a downtown hotel. This event was purportedly an evening of TASTING fine Scotches AND micro brewed beers. Could such a magical thing truly exist we thought? (this was pre kids […]
