Gemütlichkeit!

Saturday's Oktoberfest at the Apollo Maennerchor was a blast. The event sold out and our first keg (Paulaner Oktoberfest-Märzen) kicked way earlier than anyone anticipated. Thank you John Eaton for making the drive as we picked up a keg of Sam Adams Octoberfest which carried us the rest of the night! The food was superb and every bit authentic. Gemütlichkeit was the word to describe the spirit of festive camaraderie. Thanks to all the guys and girls that helped to pull it off.

Oans, zwoa, g'suffa...

Funds will go to the Apollo Maennerchor to make kitchen improvements.

Now, we prepare for Repeal Day!!!

Summer Beer

It's been a while since the last psot but ran across this youtube "show" put together by the folks at Metro-Monthly. It's one of their features on Vintage Estate Wine and Beer Store in Boardman Ohio. Ranked Number 1 in the USA. CHeck it out.

True Story? Names maybe changed to protect the innocent

Mike was attending his homebrewer club's monthly meeting and had just old them he couldn't make the camping trip scheduled for the next day because his wife wouldn't let him go.

After listening to the jeers and other derisive remarks from his fellow homebrewing friends Mike left to go back home to his wife.

When Mike's friends started arriving to set up camp the next day, who should be there but Mike, sitting up in front of his truck, tent up, homebrew in hand, camp oven roast stewing away in a hot bed of coals.

"How did ya talk your wife into letting you go Mike?" "I didn't have to" was Mike's reply.

"When I left the meeting I went home and slumped down in my chair with a beer to drown my sorrows. Then my wife snuck up behind me and covered my eyes and said, 'Surprise'!" When I peeled her hands back she was standing there in a beautiful see-through negligee with rope under her arms and she said, "Carry me into the bedroom, tie me to the bed and you can do whatever you want."

"So here I am!"

B.O.A.R.D. meets tomorrow, 7/16, on the patio of Quaker Steak & Lube... See you there!

It's never to early to start thinking about it.

Repeal Day Party Dec. 5th, 2009

A Repeal Day for all seasons...

That's what was proposed and supported at the March Brotherhood of Appreciating Repeal Day meeting last night at Sharon's own Apollo Maennerchor club. In addition to the annual observance of Repeal Day, the group aspires to hold an event for each season. Inspired by the beauty and charm of the near century old Maennerchor club, the B.O.A.R.D. is planning an Oktoberfest celebration in September of '09. Stay tuned for more. Many thanks to Al, Tony, Jim, and Connie at the club for their warm welcome and support.

Beer Nutz

Hope all is well. Ran across this show today on Hulu.com and thought I would pass it along.

It's called Beer Nutz. This is Season 1 Episode 1.

Penn Brewery, The Famous Final Scene

So long, old friend...

Since 1986, the Penn Brewery has been the "last stop" as we would leave Pittsburgh and head north on 79 toward home. Now the historic brewery, as we know it, will close sometime in February. Members of the B.O.A.R.D made a final visit last evening for dinner and some fine authentic german lagers. I especially liked the kaiser pils.
