O'Canada - Canadian Craft Brewers Belt Out The Tune

Thank god they're not considering a career change!

On the last night of the 2011 Craft Brewers Conference in San Francisco, after the last bottle had been poured at the closing reception, a large group of Canadian brewers/writers/trade/licensee's gathered in the lobby of the SF Hilton to pose for a group photo only to belt out O'Canada at the top of their lungs... and guess what? I captured it on video using an iPhone (thanks Jordan).

The quality of the video isn't the greatest, and I am up on the next floor looking down on them, but the key message is heard loud and clear; and like I said, no career changes!

This group represented only about 1/3 of all Canadians who were in attendance during the Conference, many many more had already left the hotel for the lobby when this was taking place. In total, based on my estimation concluded through sloppy note-taking, was that there appeared to have been as many as 200 Canadians, if not more, out of the roughly 3900 people registered for the conference. (I'll be posting a full list later in the week sometime)

Here's the video - enjoy!
