Our annual Burns Night was at Drew and Rebecca's house with raunchy poetry, haggis, great food and some nice whisky. Todd was also not bitten by the dog, which is becoming tradition in itself. Bottles for the Living Cask were exchanged and we had ourselves a nice evening again. Thank you Rebecca and Drew for hosting!
