Beer

charles.audette@hexagon.com

Before anyone begins making allegations, the Beer thread was not deleted on purpose.

While cleaning up old off-topic threads I inadvertently missed excluding that one. As a way to make up for it, I've reinstated the rep points.

  • I started reading this thread, and somewhere around page 7 or 8, "packaged booze" was mentioned. This lead to the comment " buckets O' booze". I reminded me of a weekend long ago..........

    It was the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend, the beginning of summer here in Cleveland. A co-worker and I were taking his boat to South Bass Island for the weekend. Put-In-Bay to be more exact. This was to be a weekend of lounging on the boat, drinking beer, and whatever other alcohol we could get our hands on. Since we arrived Thursday evening, the prime spots right against the dock were taken. We rafted off of another boat. Four deep was the rule, and by midnight, it had happened.
    One of the nights, we walked to a bar called The Round House Bar , for obvious reasons. We purchased 2 buckets of beer. True to the name we were given a buckets full of draft beer, and some cups to dip into the beer. Sadly, we found them to be empty as the band finished its first set. One of the young ladies with us offered to buy the next two buckets. As the line was quite long, I was becoming parched. I soon noticed a very trusting gentleman holding his half full bucket just below his waist and off to his side. The slight buzz and the excitement of the long weekend, helped me to gather the courage to not only dip my cup, but three more in order to fill my buddies and 2 of the 3 girls with us. The third returned with full buckets as we finished off our "free" beers.
    Never again have I seen beer served in quite that manner. The only time I have seen alcohol served in a more interesting manner, was wine from a bug sprayer that same weekend. I will save that story for another day.
