Operation “Daily Pour” begins
Day 1:
After many weeks of disregard, I decided to get back on the bus and schedule my trip to the happy land of saucers. Last week, I only had 80 beers of the 200 I need to get my plate on the ceiling of the Flying Saucer.
Operation Daily Pour has begun and I now have…..83! Yes, I had a kolsch, a pale ale and something that resembled a Budweiser but was Italian….Leigh said it was a Bud Select in a fancy bottle.
Leigh and I walked there and back as part of my new workout routine. Leigh said that the beers negate any advantage of the walk. She has a medical degree so I guess I should believe her but as a junior scientist I must perform my own studies and tests to quantify my own data and come back with a conclusion….that I’m right.
The feel of the saucer was a bit subdued and the waitresses surly if not a bit rude. But as I told Leigh, once the waitress got all happy, it was because she got a look at all this. Leigh said it’s because I am all that and I bring my own bag of chips.
Well, isn’t this interesting!
I think we need to check our glasses!
Caber Toss
Yet another EVEIL plan was hatched at the last alignment (JHWA #76). The thought was that a new batch of Caber Toss Strong Scotch Ale would be brewed every year on Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving).
I mentioned that to properly brew this BEER we would need brewing water from Pancho’s house. You know, that teeth-etching ph 9.5 KCMO water.
I would suggest that if we proceed with this project that we plan to bottle the BEER since it will become a cellerable brew that we would want to do verticals of in years to come. How about 22oz bombers? Start saving bot’ls.
Aaron Reaches #200
Old Rasputin RIS, of course.
So there are 4 of us at 200+ now. Charles, Philip, Lyndon, and Aaron. Well then there is Ted who is up to around 5,742 or so. Who will be next? Larry?
Bob’s ’47 2013
I finally found (and drank) some Bob’s ’47 2013.
