Hi everybody. For the third year in a row, I'm once again facing my vague fear of meeting and talking with new people and throwing a local brewery mini-crawl with me onto our annual Holiday Auction fire. Just kidding! OK, not really, but alcohol is a social lubricant, right? And in all honesty, I had a fun time meeting and hanging out with the winners of the past two crawls — great folks both times. We raised some money for The Children's Home. We had some killer local beer and interesting conversation. Why not do it again?
This particular auction item is up for bid until next Sunday, Dec. 4 at 9 a.m. The winner will join me for an afternoon or early evening jaunt to three local brewery tasting rooms in either Tampa or St. Pete, depending on his or her location. CL will handle the transportation and arrange for a free beer or flight at each of the stops. It's fun! We don't have to talk about the IBU scale or why Hefeweizens get flavors like bubblegum or banana Runts. Or we can. Whatever! It'll be a good time for a good cause. Couples are negotiable, but bid high if you wanna try to talk us into taking your significant other along. Thanks in advance for bidding!
