Joe The Wizard’s UYE Strikes GOLD with BEER! SITREP Big props to Joe K.(aka«The Wizard») for somehow fitting in a UYE this busy Christmas week. And honestly, at first it didn’t look like anyone would show! * Partly because Joe first scheduled the event from 3:30AM to 5:00AM, and even the most hardcore of us, including David O. and myself, would be far far unlikely to be remain up that late until the wee hours of the morning! * But even after changing the time to the PM, it was still hard for most of us to get off work that early(IF we were in fact already *stuck* working that day). But as *LUCK* would have it, some of us WERE able to make our escape to the University of Beer(UOB) for a fantastic, lively — if short-lived — Happy Hour of Golden Amber Fun! THESETUP If UOB were actually giving out degrees, then I WOULD taken every single academic course(of beer flights) so I could graduate! After all the taste tests, I settled in on a pint of the New Helvetia Belgian Lager — OUTSTANDING! Cool, refreshing, not too heavy, not too hoppy, but just the way I love a lager to be. YEEPS It was nice to hang out with my fellow Unilocalers Joe and William L., as well as meet new Unilocalers Nicky and Jack. It was truly a fun energy as we were all sharing Holiday plans that are beginning to gear up in earnest! THELOWDOWN All in all, a great hour of fun & refreshment to herald in the end of the year Holidays with good«spirits» and fun times!
