Damn it feels Good

Damn, it feels good to be imbibing in the Great State.  On the two blusteriest days of October the folks that brought you "Hippies washed with Rain Fest" in Y-P-S-I and "I Cant feel my goddamned Extremities Fest" in G-R, once again give you "Let's Drink the Great States Finest in a Parking Lot Fest".  Yes, Heroes and Hobbits, THE Michigan Brewers Guild Fall Fest '12 Edition.  And what a festivus soiree it was...for 2 Days folks.  Justin' cases you missed it, and shame on your naughty bottom if you did, I of course have endowed this manuscript with the most delicious brews the Hombre got greased upon.  And in no particular order, except alphabetized by brewery, Viola...

Don't call it a...

Do not call it a...Swag-YOLO-As Ush'...My how we have degraded, hated and mutilated the Eeeeenglish language.  Almost as bad as the euthanization of taste, ney the ability to stand up for hooch that is tasty, in lieu of liquid that we have ingeniously marketed to be told tastes good.  Add two (2) logo glasses and that's the best Schneegleberry Gin ever made in Qatar endorsed by Johnson Jackson.  Send me 576 Gift Packs. 

But hey, who doesn't like a gift pack.  SOOOOOOO, I'm coming back with some Holy-day cheer, fresh out the boca just for all you non-believers.  We gone'be spreading the religion of the finer glass fillers.  And what in the H! can you do to make these here hallowed "World Series-Halloween-Election Day-Thanksgiving-Chanukah-Christmas" beverages feckin' grate...Ask, please ask, be adventurous.

So, look out teeth, look out gums, over the lips and here Uncle Javy...continues these shenanigans. 

Naughty Naughty.

Please and Thank You: To anyone and everyone that has ever spent too much on a bottle o'wine, drank off the top shelf or insisted upon craft draught..You are tip top.


Keep Hope Alive and never count out Javy. Cha Chi ChaCha Chi Cha Cha Cha
