Rotarians Welcome New Member to Club by Lorna Miller Christopher Mendes, General Manager of the Flying Flying Dutchman Hotel, gave his classification address to the Bowmanville Rotary Club in the Convention Room of this motel on August August 16th. Mr. Mendes, under whose capable direction the Flying Dutchman has become the 'only place to stay in town, rathèr than the only place people had to stay when in town, was born in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf and came to Canada after achieving many international international Ihonours and degrees. Among these is a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and an honours degree from a three-year course in Hotel Management frorii the Sheraton Sheraton Hotel Chain. In spite of his obvious affinity affinity and capacity for success success in the hotel industry, Mr. Mendes arrived inadvertently inadvertently at his present career. career. " I got into this profession by mistake," Mr. Mendes revealed. revealed. "I was a sales rep for a brewing company in Bahrain Bahrain and approached the Sheraton Group to purchase our products. They agreed to handle our beer if we would label it 'Lancer's Bar Beer' the name of the bar in the hotel. I convinced our company company to label the bottles appropriately, appropriately, and, because of my capable handling of the situation, the Sheraton group offered me a job in the 1 hospitality industry." Then Mr. Mendes began learning the hotel industry from the bottom up - with the sweeping of floors and washing of pots in the kitchens. kitchens. This on-the-job training course took three years and involved working his way up from the kitchens, via the laundry through the restaurant restaurant to the iront desk and guest check-in. A Bahrainian guest in the hotel wanted to fulfill a dream by opening a hotel and restaurant on the Arabi-. an Gulf and enlisted Mr. Mendes' help. The resultant restaurant; the Copper Chimney, was erected in the northern part of India. "It was a roof-top restaurant which was open for nearly eight years before a recession recession resulting from the Iran/ Iraqwar caused it to close." "The restaurant was in the top three in the Middle East in 1983," he said. Mr. Mendes worked for Crispins in Toronto when he immigrated to Canada and when the Selby Hotel group purchased the Flying Dutchman, Dutchman, Mr. Mendes was asked to take over as General manager. That was two years ago. Since then, Mr. Mendes, besides overseeing the renovations renovations of the entire hotel, has instigated the brewing of beer on the premises. "We brew 2000 litres at one time and have our own brand of hops which took six months to create," he said The brewing process is intricate intricate and timing is the essence essence of any great brew. Both lager and ale are brewed at the Flying Dutchman Dutchman and each requires its own special recycled yeast which is obtained from Whitbread's in England. For ale, the brew is fermented fermented under pressure for 14 days to reduce the sugar content of 11.5% to 0% and the temperature is dropped from 60 to 33 degrees. "If we desire a very dry brew, we allow 40 days for this process," said this Brewmeister of Bowmanville. Bowmanville. The beer is re-filtered twice to improve clarity and remove any impurities. "Brewery beer contains up to 102 additives. Ours con tains no additives and no preservatives," said Mr. Mendes with a smile. However, this lack of additives additives gives his brew a shelf life of only 30 days, after which the remaining beer must be dumped. The endeavor has met with incredible success and may put Bowmanville's Flying Flying Dutchman on the international international map for having a fine home brew. Christopher Mendes has come a long way from world of the "Rich and Famous" where he was once asked to set up a- kitchen for the Emir of Bahrain for one evening evening at a cost of $100,000. Still, he is happy to be here, and glad of the fellowship fellowship of the Rotary Club. Rotarian Bob Simpson introduced introduced Mr. Mendes and Rotarian Bill Hall thanked him.
