Not only did I win two bottles of single-malt that night (Thanks Ern!), but before going over to the Burn's Dinner I stopped off at the Fredericksburg Pub, where we would end the evening. I'd been on the road most of the day and got to Fredericksburg earlier than anticipated. I decided to stop off and change into my kilt and have a pint before heading over to the dinner.
Immediately after I changed, the manager spotted me and we chatted a bit about it being the night of the Burn's Dinner. He then bought me a FREE pint of Bellhaven Scottish Ale. It's not the first time I'd gotten a free drink for wearing a kilt but I always enjoy the token of appreciation.
