Re: The Beer Thread
Rolling into WI this AM and decided to pickup some beer. Was concerned I was too early at the liqour store-nope, opens at 8am. When I checked out , they said "have a good night"
Uff-da

As mentioned, I like Octoberfest beers. Had a lot of good ones, except for Lagunitas Tuberfest. Don't care much for Firestone's either.

Re: The Beer Thread
Anyone do any Oktoberfesting this year (or have plans to)? Mrs. Swirls and I had a blast over the weekend at a large one at the state fairgrounds in St. Paul hosted by Summit brewing.

Re: The Beer Thread
I don't have anything to add other than the fact that I really need a beer right now. And it is only 10:30 on Monday morning. This weekend can't get here soon enough.

Dude, that photo is awesome. You and the special lady friend look like every cool person that makes beer festivals fun.Swirls wrote:Indeed.
I went to one in Virginia (Starr Hill) a few weeks ago. It was a good time. And it fell on a college football Saturday, so I spent half the event talking to fans of other schools (besides UVA... the event was in Charlottesville).

Re: The Beer Thread
I was surprised at how cheap lederhosen costumes were on Amazon. It was like $30. We got our tickets on Groupon, so they were only $15 each which included the mug and our first beer.
Surprisingly, Mrs. Swirls actually already owned a "slutty barmaid" Halloween costume from college.
