New Beer's Eve! B.O.A.R.D. Membership Drive Event

Literally "Join us" as we toast one to legal beer and New Beer's Eve! The Apollo Maennerchor, Sharon, will feature "craft 3.2 beer" specials as well as a sandwich lovingly prepared by Helmut Schumacher. The public (21 & over) is welcome and those wishing to join or maintain membership with the Brotherhood of Appreciating Repeal Day may pay their $10 annual dues.

April 7th marks the anniversary of the 1933 modification of the Volstead Act, where beer was made legal again after 14 long years of National Prohibition. Well, legal up to a point: up to 3.2% alcohol by weight, to be exact. (That’s 4% by volume.) Basically FDR found a way to get 3.2 beer off the list of banned beverages and put the brewers back to work!

This was one step toward reviving a depressed economy as well as one step toward the Repeal of the eighteenth amendment that took place on December 5th, 1933.

Prost!

Thank You... For a Real Good Time!!!

Thanks to all for making this a great event, especially the brewers and distributors that made it all possible. Stay tuned for upcoming events!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years from the Brotherhood of Appreciating Repeal Day!

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.
