with a bit of a beer buzz
to get to the band

Beer quenches the thirst
Of cutting this tree into logs
Its leaves will not fall.

Attention all Beer Bloggers! This is your reminder that The Session #8 is one week away. The theme is Beer and Food. I want to make sure you have the whole weekend and a full week to experiment with recipes or come up with other ideas for your posts.

I believe this will be a popular Session and there are some distinct opportunities to get some of the Foodie bloggers involved and/or exposed to the vast possibilities of pairing food and beer and cooking with beer. I know I am very excited to see what our multi-talented group of writers, drinkers, and brewers comes up with.

Additional Information:

• Instructions for participating in the October Session.
• Roundup of links to all previous Sessions.

It’s Drink a Beer Day?!
I don’t know who made it so…
But I’ll celebrate!

Written by Captain Hops.

References: According to at least two websites, September 28 is “Drink a Beer Day”. If anyone has any additional information about who proclaimed this a holiday, please leave me a note in the comments. I am all for wacky holidays and I intend to celebrate in the best way I know how, but I have two problems with this day: “a” and “day”. I really think Beer deserves more than just one day and I don’t plan on stopping with a single beer.

the beer for your toast
is undoubtedly better
because of his work

References: Just a reminder that the National Toast for Michael Jackson is coming up this Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 9:00 PM EDT. I will be attending the toast at the Brewer’s Art located at 1106 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. They are generously donating 20% of the gross proceeds for the night to the National Parkinson Foundation. I hope to see you there.

Thing of the Day: Here’s something you don’t see everyday: Dog Beer - Non-Alcoholic Doggie Brew Wet Snout Stout. Beer for Dogs?! Actually, it appears that this is some sort of liquid multivitamin for dogs. I don’t have a dog, but if I did, I am not sure I would want him getting a taste for beer. It’s hard enough to keep the fridge stocked.

Six million people
Raise their beers and their voices.
One day, I’ll join them.

Written by Captain Hops.

References: The 174th Oktoberfest kicked off today. Six million people are expected to descend on Munich and participate in the merriment. I will make it someday. Perhaps I should start taking a collection. Anyone want to sponsor me?

and perhaps some soul cleansing
