Add one more to the great place of Fort Collins

To those of you who don't know, Andrew got the cellar position at New Belgium. As I am typing this, he's on his way to Fort Collins now. In fact, he'll be arriving later today. He's crashing at my place until he can find a place of his own. I just wanted to welcome him here and make everyone jealous. How much free beer can he get???????
Meanwhile for me, I have no job, no money, and I ain't got shit to do! Being poor really sucks, but I will be taking beer donations. It is going to a worthy cause (supporting my habit). I'm also trying real hard to add an Iowa Unit. Take care

Oh yeah, people should post their addresses so that when I get drunk at New Belgium's tasting room, I have someone to send a postcard to. My dad is starting to think I spend every afternoon there.

Roll Call

Assuming you didn't all die in some freak accident that somehow missed the state of Wisconsin, I'd assume most of you are more than capable of posting to this here blog. So get to it. Oh, and if you have gotten a job, or an interview, feel free to let us know - and don't forget to fill in Dr. Lewis.

I'm almost a real person!

Hey Everyone! Did I mention I got a job? Well, I did. The population of New Glarus, WI is still 2,111 but Madison has just (re)gained another citizen. I'll be commuting. So thems of you who'd like to visit this great place lemme know.

Caprio Survives! and other beer news

So someone hit Leo with a bottle... a beer bottle. It's much too bad this didn't happen during the filming of "titanic." Anyways, I learned yesterday that he was almost cast on "Baywatch"... that was almost. Thank god he didn't play Hasselhof's son.

Oh, and the British can't figure out what temperature to serve their cask ales. Apparently the twat who gave us the shoddy lecture in Chico hasn't gotten around to informing his countrymen.

How on earth did he live?

the "other" beer news

Population 2,112 minus 1

That's right, the population of New Glarus, WI remains a scant 2,111. For thems of you who care to know, I had a three day working interview at the Brewery, during which I was able to meet all the employees and do thier jobs (kinda). Anyways, it was a great deal of fun, and pretty cool, but they're interview other people as well... so, since I was the first to go, I've got to wait 3 to 6 weeks for delivery... I mean a decision. Hope everyone else is having good luck in their search for work.

Home on the range...

So I made it back to Fort Collins in one piece, just in time to park my car for the nice hail storm to attack it. Summer school sucks! I can't tell you how bad... no Lewis impressions, no Charle stories, and no fucking beer. I mean, how do they expect me to pay attention if they're not talking about beer or letting me drink a nice cold one. They is bullshit. I'm gonna stage my own nonviolent protest. On the plus side, there are actually girlS in my class (did you see that was plural?!) . No offense, Kari, I fully enjoyed your pressence though.
Like many of you, I am still trying to find a job. I interviewed with CB & Potts for what I assumed to be summer help, but in reality it was for a full-time assistant brewer position. I don't know how I would work 40-50 hours a week if I'm taking 18 credits at school?! Oh well, I have a few places I can go talk to, and I might be able to go back to my last job at Grainger.
Andrew graced his pressence in beautiful Fort Collins the other day. He had a job interview with New Belgium. Not sure how it went because I had to catch a flight to Connecticut, which is where I am now. Hope all is well. I better see people at GABF 2005! My drunk ass will be there

Another Drunken Bear Story

Bear guzzles campers' beer, eats food

June 14, 2005

DUNBAR, W.Va. --Larry Gaynor and his brother had to cut their latest fishing trip short after a black bear ate their food and guzzled their beer. Gaynor, 67, and his brother, Billy Bob Gaynor, 53, were camping at Summit Lake near Richwood on Friday when the bear wandered into their campsite at about 9 p.m.

Hearing a noise, they looked outside their tent and saw the bear with its mouth clamped on their cooler. Larry Gaynor said the bear dragged the cooler 30 yards into the woods and flung it against a tree, scattering a case of Coors Light.

"He only drank three cans," Larry he said. "He would've drank all of them if it would've been Budweiser."

Billy Bob Gaynor said the bear ate all of their food so they returned to Dunbar the next day.

"Either relocate them or let me eat them," he said.



To hell with Budweiser!!
(I got my letter from them late last week. They were kind nough to send it to my parents house so I would have to wait a week before I found out.)

We never stopped for gas... I mean sleep

Brian and Eric succesfully travel 2165 miles on a quest for cheese... and it only took 32 hours.

What kind of a jerk am I?

How did I lose a lens out of my glasses? What kind of fool does that?

Also, what kind of jerk cuts the line to get in at dollar pint night? ha ha ha

Hey

No one mentioned that we're done. We're done.

Speaking of Being Scatterbained

I'm only one degree away from Kevin Bacon. What's that you ask? Who has Eric ever met that could have been in a film with Kevin Bacon? The answer my friends is Ben Stein. That's right, and he even signed my copy of Ferris Buehler's Day Off.

Come on, everybody

Let's hold off that rampant insanity for another 14 hours and 10 minutes. We can do this.

After that point, let the boozing begin!
And after we get tossed from Sudwerk, and we hit other bars, I will buy shots for anyone that wants them. Except Phil and Jeff. They've had enough already.

Would Someone Please Get That?

Who's that knocking on your door?
And yes Matt, Jesus said he'd deliver you straight to 12:30. See you there.

6 hours down. 3 to go.

Time to crunch some numbers, bitches.

What's The Spread?

Here's to more luck on the exam than I had in Vegas! Hope you all do well. Click the link below for Vegas' picks on who will come out on top... just kidding, but you can at least find out how much you'd have won by betting on the brewers to beat the yanks!

The Spread

Paris gets her revenge 

Harpoon is mine!

The cellar position at Harpoon in Boston belongs to me! And if anyone has a problem with that, well I'm sorry to say that the only solution involves fistacuffs. (Just kidding, I'm more into blackmail than violence anyway.)

And if you don't know what on earth I'm talking about, then do not check the classifieds at probrewer. There is no opening at Harpoon posted there.

<3 Seth

PS I'm kidding. If anyone else is interested, by all means apply. Just know that if someone else gets the job over me, they'll owe me half of their salary in "Mass resident tax."

Mike seriously contemplating how Paris will affect the flavor of his Spicy BBQ burger from Carl's Jr. 

Just because it's awesome...

Oh and Paris looks ok too...
