Here the real shit-kicker though, the $45 per plate "beer
dinner" the
night before, hosted by Joe Sixpack of the Philly Enquirer...and
a more ridiculous looking beer list I've never seen:

Snrf. Boy howdy, that's...what's the word? Sad? With all the decent
to FG beers coming to the event, they're serving food paired with SA
Cherry Wheat? Michelob Black & Tan?? Leinenkugal [sic] Red??? I guess
Joe Sixpack wants to be in touch with the common man. Or the chefs
don't normally have access to good beer.

Pete's brews are from WISCONSIN? I am SO ashamed. I'm afraid
I'm going to have to drown my sorrows in a bucket of Sublime Hard
Raspberry Lemonade with an Amstel Light chaser.

Thought the Pete's line was produced in Texas now. Wish there were
someone with insider knowledge around who could set us straight.
