Buying art in Iqaluit

These are recent pieces I purchased while drinking beer or eating Chinese food (which is how most art gets purchased in Iqaluit).

I should also point out that there are some excellent drawings from Cape Dorset at the museum here in town - I encourage local folks to check it out.

A beer on Friday

I haven't quite got around yet to my one-time plans of brewing my own beer up here, although I have run into some people in town that do. It makes alot of sense when you otherwise have to fly up your choice of brew. I may have to resurrect the idea after I recently ran across a review of this book - Fermenting Revolution - which posits that drinking and making your own beer can help save the world. Sounds like something I can get on board with. Check out the author's Beer Activist blog for some interesting reading , or another website I came across on the subject: Brew Like A Monk.
(Warning to beer-drinking Northerners: some of these sites feature delicious-sounding microbrews unavailable in Canada, much less in our land of canned Labatt Ice)

Cheers.
