Museum's Adults-Only Nights Show That Alcohol and Science Are a Good Mix

Posted by samzenpus on from the hall-of-drinking-man dept.

BarbaraHudson writes Museums and science centers are finding that science nights with bar service are quite popular with the public. "Organizer Merissa Scarlett said almost every science center across Canada opts for adults-only nights, where visitors can explore exhibits with an alcoholic drink in hand. It's also a trend taking off in many museums, including the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, where nights dubbed Nature Nocturne transform the building into a multi-stage bar and club."

    The hilarious thing about your post is Labatt's is brewed in London, Ontario and actually not the top seller in Quebec. Quebec is the land of Molson and many fine local beers from micro-breweries. The Molson family is the owner the Canadiens de Montréal hockey club and part of the province's history since 1786. Labatt was founded in 1847 in London, Ontario. It is only in 1954 Labatt decided to open a brewery in Quebec. There is more licensed breweries in Quebec than in any other province in Canada, Ontario is second.
