Beer fest

Okay, first of all, Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time" should not be sung by a choir of children, either in general, or for a commercial.

The beer fest was very good. My amber brew won the best amber, so I got a beer glass with a pewter inscription for Best Amber 2007. Of course, while walking out to my car to put the prize out there, I had it fall out of the box from Things Remembered. Luckily, I gave it a quick kick about six inches from the ground, so the only damage was a little scrape at the top. Rather that, than a full shatter. Sheesh, nice freakin' box.

Dinner was the venison steaks. Nicely done. All day we'd been eating -- shrimp platter, tons of buffalo wings, and my cousin made an impressive vat of chili. We had football games on two TVs. There were several pies for dessert. I had blueberry made by a cousin's wife.

And of course, we're all encouraged to take a care package home from the excess beer. So I get a random assorted 12-pack to put in the fridge.

I agree with you about the Poison song, it definitely should not be sung by kids.

Congrats on winning the best amber beer! Hmm...I don't know what venison steaks taste like, but all the other food sounds good, especially the chili and the pies!

Congratulations on the award, glad you didn't end by having a "smashing time".

Good kick, Brian. An NFL career beckons, for someone whose reactions are so quick and aim so accurate!

I reckon I'll have this novel wrapped up before deadline!!!

Congrats! I used to brew beer, too. Before I had children, I used to make a kick ass brown ale.

Er, that drop-kick of yours wasn't necessitated due to a prior intake of Amber by any chance?

Well done on the prize, sounds like a fine time was had by all.
