After building the temporary support, dragging it into place, and raising the four floor deck beams, I figured it was time for a break and refreshment. Fortunately the beer fridge was reasonably well
stocked, and had an unopened six of Unibroue La Fin Du Monde in the back. I hadn't had one of these in a while, so decided to crack one open. What a perfect drink for an early autumn afternoon (I don't subscribe to the illogical dating of seasons beginning at the solstices or equinoxes). La Fin Du Monde is a magnificent Belgian style triple fermented ale, and brings to mind pine needles, the subtle scent of a forest after rain, and the rich smell of a newly fired woodstove. Delicious! Unibroue was introduced to me about 8 years ago by Bryan, son of Judy and Dave, good friends of Katherine's parents Peter and Donnaleen. Wonderful people, evidenced at least in part by the fantastic beer they enjoy (and their hospitality in accommodating unannounced dinner guests!). Unibroue is a fairly large Quebec-based craft brewer now, with a great selection, many available at your local Beer Store. Check them out by clicking the picture of the label (will open a new window)!

Also a good choice, Dave. My personal favourites at the moment are the South Australian "Coopers Pale Ale", Tasmanian "Boags Premium", and "Becks". Unlike industrialised beers with untold additives, these beers allow me to enjoy their qualities with unwanted extras.
I meant "without" unwanted extras.
You're making me just as hungry for real Autumn weather to enjoy it in!
