The UClub Presents The First Annual
Blues, Blue Buck, Bill and Beef Bash
Featuring Phillips Brewing Co. and the Legendary Bill Johnson Blues Band
Saturday April 20th, 2013 – Dinner 6:30pm
Cheers! Proost! Santẻ! Kampai! Salute! Gận Bệi! Slảinte! Prost! Salud! Skἀl!
We’ll start with a toast to spring featuring Analogue 78. This hi-fi German engineered kolsch is
a west coast remix with a new spin. Guaranteed to soothe your thirst from the
festival sun, Analogue 78 is our version to the long play album. Kick back and enjoy!
Next we’ll sample Ginger Beer. With more ginger than Gilligan can handle, some might be
surprised at the instant blast of flavour and aroma from this true ginger beer, but that doesn't
take away from its sheer quaffability, paired with Side Car Oysters (Cajun cornmeal crusted
plumb Fanny Bay Oysters, Roast Garlic, Spinach & Onions, Creole Hollandaise).
Followed by Blue Buck! The Blue Buck is a legendary beast known to grant those that see him
good fortune and safe travels! A deep amber coloured beer, the Blue Buck has a crisp finish
featuring a delicate hop aroma. Certainly seeing the Blue Buck on bottle grants the drinker a
great experience! Worth searching for, paired with slow Roasted Hickory Beef Ribs with
smoking hot B.B.Q. sauce, served with jambalaya & young greens.
We’ll finish with the Longboat Chocolate Porter, we'd say that Longboat is a classic
chocolate porter, but lets face it, who's ever heard of a chocolate porter? It is, however, a rich
dark ale, with a distinctive chocolate finish, paired with a decadent Chocolate Porter Bread
Pudding, bourbon pecans & chili cream.
The Bash Starts at 6:30 pm

Family Night Dinner & Entertainment
Featuring Music Corner Productions Performing Aesop’s Animals
Saturday May 25th – 5:30pm
Music Corner
Music Corner introduces young children to orchestral instruments
and Classical music through interactive musical storytelling.
Founded in 2007, the group uses instrumental performance to
highlight and support the characters and action of stories. This
combination closes the gap between performers and audience,
making the experience for children as interactive and tangible as
possible.
Aesop’s Animals
Few works of literature have
bridged more generation gaps
than the clever fables of Aesop.
This story includes favourites
like The Hare and the Tortoise,
The Fox and the Crow, and The
Lion and the Mouse. For each
one, Music Corner involves
children directly in the story
through games and riddles.
Music for Aesop’s Animals was
composed by David Clenman,
sessional lecturer of theory, oral
skills, and orchestration at the
UVic School of Music.
As a quartet consisting of clarinet, violin, trombone, and
percussion, Music Corner functions as a miniature orchestra,
giving audiences an up-close experience of all four major
orchestral instrument families. For thousands of young children
every year, Music Corner has provided a first impression of
Classical music as a powerful means of self-expression which
they can access for the rest of their lives.
