ABR Tips
Autumn Brew Review is today! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone! Stop by the MNBeer tent and say hello, I imagine Eric, Kat, Greg and myself will be there at various times. My swag order got delayed until Monday, so I’ve got a few hundred stickers, etc. versus 2000 to pass out. I’ve also got limited quantities of t-shirts, but if you’re a large or a medium, I’ll have you covered… for a while.
Regardless, come say hello! And…
1. Eat a good base – don’t go to Autumn Brew Review on an empty stomach!
2. Hydrate! (Not just beer!) Drink water!
3. Pace yourself! You don’t need to drink 20 2 oz. samples of Darkness!
4. Grab your beer and step aside! If you want to talk to a brewer or hit on the girl/boy pouring boy, move off to the side to talk. Also, please don’t gather with your silly drunk friends two feet back from the table and drink in a little circle. Step away!
5. Don’t drive. Period. “I’m fine.” Uh, no, trust me, you’re not. “Yesh Iss am.” Ugh.
Furthermore Beery Miscellany
Hello, Beerly Beloved –
Chris here. I have a bunch of stuff to share, so after this sentence, I’m going to drop the conversational acrobatics and get right to it:
NEWS:
* Welcome Molly Moran! Molly is our first “new guy” and hopefully she won’t freak out when she realizes how crazy we are. Molly will be picking up the slack in Madison and Milwaukee – driving sales, doing events and keeping our customers happy and informed. Molly was the beer buyer at Steve’s on University (Madison) and was the front-of-house manager at a fine-dining joint in D.C. (Washington, that is), where she was responsible for creating the beer “program” – building a beer menu and suggesting food pairings. She’s smart, capable and experienced, and she’s going to make it possible for us to focus on getting a facility built in Spring Green. If you see her around, please be on your best behavior and make her feel welcome.
