Training Week 3
With Oktoberfest only days away, I think the team is primed and ready for some serious battling with the Suds monsters. This weekend the guys went "Somewheres Else" for a round of special training. "Special training" you ask. A Frat party....Wedding reception.....your Jewish cousin's bris? Nope, we hit a dive, not JUST any dive..but we went to place that is the Holiest of Holy..a place so special that we WONT share..but it was a night that was straight out of the 70s. With the wood-paneled walls, faint amber lighting, and still pristine shag carpet, we indulged in an evening of classic country and shitty beer. While listening to Johnny Cash, Vern Gosdin, and Johnny Paycheck singing to us on a jukebox that played vinyl 45s, we downed dozens of 10 oz. cans of dead yeast. The purpose of this training? Well if we can hold down nearly 3 cases of cheap beer and still be functional...that we'd be ready for Oktoberfest. (Sorry no pictures, because we can NOT by any means reveal this location due to its sacredness)But if you've ever seen Three's Company nd remember the Regal Beagle Lounge, its just like it. We even brought a friend as a special guest, and he lterally had tears in his eyes from the sheer beauty of the place. Enough said.
Our beer of the month October: Spaten
Spaten Oktoberfest Beer, created in 1872, is the world's first Oktoberfest beer, brewed for the greatest folk festival in the world. Every year, over and over again, countless Oktoberfest visitors share their enthusiasm about this beer.
"Spaten Oktoberfest Beer will be primarily promoted from August through October 2006 with thematic Spaten Oktoberfest POS including limited edition glassware, coasters, posters and an assortment of decorative items. Ask for Spaten Oktoberfest Beer at your favorite Pub or Restaurant, Or get Spaten Oktoberfest Beer at your beverage trade.
Spaten Oktoberfest Beer. Taste the Munich flavor.
Spaten Oktoberfest Beer is amber in color. This medium bodied beer has achieved its impeccable taste by balancing the roasted malt flavor with the perfect amount of hops. Having a rich textured palate with an underlying sweetness true to tradition."

Our Bastard beer of the Month October: Pabst's Blue Ribbon
Quite possibly the worst tasting beer in existence. However, due to it only costing 50 cents a beer, it has become the quintesential punk rock and rockabily beer of choice. Much like how Chuck Taylors became popular because of their price, Pabst's is an icon for people who dont care. Fortunaltely Pabst's Blue Ribbon has chosen to use their notariaty to help produce public radio stations, where as Chuck Taylor "literally " sold out to Reebok.

I disagree. PBR doesn't taste like water with food coloring unlike, say, Bud Light--as a domestic beer it ain't all bad.
I've got fond memories of PBR from Rev. Horton Heat shows; also from managing 307 when I had a $1 PBR every Monday night!
Then again, maybe I'm just a beer slut who'll drink any ale or lager that crosses her lips. Yeah, that's probably it.
yeah, thats probably it. ;o)
