Good post. Shocked that no one had mentioned gameface beers or the mystery beer cooler yet. Both fantastic. Me and you had a good heart to heart and it was nice to get to you know a bit better.

I was at a wedding and had been drinking since 4:00 pm and showed up with 1/3 of my bottle of red stag already gone. Then drank a lot of gameface beers (he had one that was like 4.5% alcohol and one that was like 7.5% iirc. I kept getting refills on the 7.5% one of course) and had a ton of shots of stag until it was gone and also drank some wild turkey 101 and had some mystery beer. Im far from a lightweight. My only problem is that i drink too damn much in a night.
Oh ****. It must be a Dannon thing.
So, the origin of the mystery beers...
Last year I served as a steward at the Beehive Brew Off. When the competition has been judged they basically open up the the refrigerated trailer full of beer and tell the judges and stewards to please take it all off their hands so they don't have to deal with it. There was easily 500 beers in there. I'm not sure exactly how many there really were, but 500 is a very conservative estimate. about 8 of us went in and loaded up. A few who were more experienced than me knew what they were looking for. I took about 48 beers total and stopped because I didn't want to take too much, but honestly I could have taken 100 beers or more and no one would have batted an eye.
You don't have to have anything to do with homebrewing to be a steward at the Beehive Brew Off. I plan on doing it again this year. If anyone wants to come with just let me know. At the competition stewards organize the beers and provide them to the judges. They pour what they need to judge the beer and there is usually about 4oz left over per bottle. As a steward you are free to sample and compare notes with the judges. They'll usually tell you if there is one you should try. In fact, when they have a really good one they tell the event organizers to check it out.
It's pretty laid back. It's a good way to learn about the beer competition process. Both the owner of Salt City Brew Supply and Beer Nut are there and several local homebrewers turned pro-brewers too. Great way to meet the people involved in Utah's local beer industry. Many of the judges were employees of the local breweries.
Oh, and they provide breakfast and lunch. It all happens at the Bayou, and the Bayou makes the lunch.
Seriously, hit me up for details. I'll be there and they can usually use a few extra stewards.

Dude, I'm ****ing with you.
You're 100% not a lightweight.
haha
So where do you see the Jazz if they manage to pick up Durant? Are you not big on Durant or you think the Jazz need more than that to compete for a chip?
Just let me know how much I owe.
Umm I would love to do this. I would commit to this anytime, it sounds super fun. If they need help I would 100% be in.
#1 I don't think he comes here. I would love it if he did. Like drooling all over myself.
#2 I'm big on Durant. I think Jazz need more than that to compete for the NBA title. He would instantly make us #3 in the west. That doesn't mean we compete for the title.

I really really like Adam. He is an awesome dude. He works a different shift than me at dannon so i have never really got to know him but he is really nice and really fun.
I will let you know. I totally see you really liking it. It's a pretty full day on Saturday and then maybe till noon on a Sunday, then they do the award ceremony that evening at the Bayou at about 5pm.
1000% this. And we work right next to each other 40+ hours a week.
That would be awesome. I would love to go to that and could commit to the two full days. Plus the Bayou is only 2 block walk for me.
And really there were about half the stewards who were there both days. You don't have to commit to both days. It's volunteer work, they're pretty happy with whatever you'll give 'em.
Eric right? Maybe he got super **** faced after I left but I thought he was one of the funniest dudes I've met.
Well, he was drunk for sure, but he never really got out of line. He was having fun messing with people.
My biggest gripe was that he was taking a realllly long time to count out his bets and insisted on using 100s instead of 1000s to make big bets and he counted them one...chip...at...a...time...
It's everything it's advertised as. He brews some of the best beer I've ever drank. I have even liked some of his styles that I typically cannot stand.
Nice to meet you, you're a JF favorite of mine.
NavaJoe was fine with it. Apparently him and the tall dude (Curtis?) were sparring a bit during the game. That guy seemed really cool to me and Joe liked him too.
I also didn't like some of the table talk, players not in hands commenting on hands. I strictly play poker for fun now and don't care as far as it goes for my specific purposes, but it is obnoxious for those who are competitive with the game.
