A Bunch of Reminders
It seems that there is a myriad of events all occurring at roughly the same time, so an entry merely serving as a reminder is in order.
- Today is the last day to enter the drawing by taking the survey. Please make sure you read the rules and take a gander at the prizes. Have those surveys completed before January 20, 2007 12:00 AM CST to be eligible. While I’ll be happy to accept survey responses afterwards, you won’t get any prizes except for a virtual pat on your back. Prize winners will be posted tomorrow, and I’ll begin shipping prizes sometime next week.
- Tomorrow is my blogoversary! I originally planned to do a year in a review then, but I honestly don’t think I have the time right now to do it. It will likely have to wait until Sunday or Monday. If I’d been thinking properly, I would’ve planned this trip more accordingly! (Actually, probably not. How often can one throw away a bunch of money on a vacation at Whistler?) I seriously can’t believe I’ve been posting to this for a year now. What was I thinking?!
- The Winter Jubilee is only a week away. I haven’t been to this beer fest before, so I can only imagine what it’ll be like. However, I’m excited! There’s a fantastic list of brewers. They don’t seem to update the website, but they do send out a ridiculous number of emails. Here’s the list:
Abita Brewing, Affligem, Allagash Brewing, Boston Beer Works, Belikus, Berkshire Brewing, Brooklyn Brewery, Boston Beer, Boulder Beer, Cambridge Brewing, Chimay, Cisco, Concord Brewing, Dogfish Head, Eurobrew, Franziscaner, Gardner Ale House, Geary’s, Gritty’s, Harpoon, Ithaca, Lefthand, Long Trail, Merchant du Vin, Mercury, Newport Storm, North Brewing Coast, Oscar Blues, Offshore Ale, Ommegang, Opa Opa Steak, Otter Creek, Owen O’Leary’s, Paper City, Paulaner, Rogue Ales, Rock Art, Shelton Brothers, Smuttynose, Southern Tier, Spaten NA, Stoudt’s, Stone Brewing, Stone Coast, The Tap, Unibroue, Vanberg DeWulfe, and Woodstock - BeerAdvocate’s 4th Annual Extreme Beer Fest is soon, too, on February 9-10. Normally, I don’t think I’d bother mentioning it this early, but they’ve already run out of tickets online! However, you can still buy them at some ticket outlets in Boston. Extreme is always fun with some very interesting, sometimes wacky, often high-ABV beers. I never really realized this until last fest’s beer brunch when I sat next to a couple from Wisconsin, but people actually do travel from all over the place just to go to these.
