Hitting Cowtown this weekend for the Caps game Sat and The Dudes on Friday.. and I want to shop.

Last time I came to Calgary was about a year ago and I went to the new outlet mall and I was not impressed. Obviously, it is an outlet mall, so the selection will be limited, but I walked through the entire Lacoste store and could not find one thing I wanted.. among other stores.

What I want to come home with is a Pea Coat and a pair of designer jeans (Rasts, Sevens, TR's, Diesels etc..) on SALE. I can pay full price for this stuff in Saskatoon, I shop in Calgary because I should be able to find it cheaper.

What I am looking for is suggestions on stores to hit that can get this done, in your experience which store has the best deals?

Second on my list is to find a "spot" in Cowtown. Every city I visit I always find a pub that I really like and want to come back to, in most cases they have house or local beer on tap that I fall in love with. This all usually comes from a suggestion from an unlikely place.. well what is more unlikely than a Hockey forum! So what say you, what is your favourite hole in the wall style pub, that preferably has some kind of local beer on tap.

One beer I am specifically looking to have some more of in Calgary is Fort Gary. I fell in love with their dark in Winnipeg last time I was there and I have heard rumours you can find it in Alberta.

Also to add, I don't need Heroin beer as a suggestion... I plan to get a few of those in me during the game.. my record is 9 in one regulation game.. although that is a night I can neither remember nor forget..
