Year: 2018

From: Abbot Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Accompanied by: Terry, Jacob

Location: Pub

Details: I'd heard about the ceremony and about the history of the rum, which is pretty fascinating, if it's true, but being long past the stage in life of jumping up on bars while drunk tourists egg you on, I wanted to find a more "dignified" experience of getting screeched in. I had heard of the "Screech Room," a shop located in a former Masonic Temple, in St. John's, which is also home to a dinner theater company called the "Spirit of Newfoundland." As a sort of sideline in between shows, the company created a cafe/bar where customers can buy Screech Rum, products made with it, like cakes, order drinks, and of course, get screeched in.
