I’m dealing with a quintuple whammy of the Extreme Beer Fest, Beija event, Valentine’s Day, anniversary, and girlfriend’s friend visiting this and next week, so the blogging has been sparse. Factor in all the eBay sales (I’ve been trying to clear my apartment of crap in exchange for needed cash), the purchase of a Wii (that’s why I need cash), and miscellaneous stuff, and I simply have no time. Hopefully, this will all change on Tuesday.
Anyway, if you’re in Boston, then you should be attending the Extreme Beer Fest today and tomorrow! The Alström Brothers of Beer Advocate fame put together incredible events. Unfortunately, this one has been sold out for weeks, but you may be able to find tickets on Craigslist. In the meantime, you should plan for the monstrous American Craft Beer Fest, which will be at the World Trade Center June 20-21 (happily coinciding with my birthday).
There’s also an event at Alibi at the Liberty Hotel on Sunday night 10 PM - 1 AM with Beija. You’ll have to RSVP at info@Beija.net.
In the meantime, I don’t want to leave you completely high and dry with absolutely no booze news. Here’s a couple beer-themed tidbits that I found interesting. The video demonstrates how to melt a beer bottle in a microwave. Is it safe? I dunno. Don’t try it at home? As for the picture, it’s pretty self-explanatory, but it’s a diagram for how to cook beer chicken! Mmm…chicken…I haven’t had lunch yet.
