If you liked beer like I like beer then we'd like beer the same

Tomorrow, I'm going to the Winter Beer Festival w/ Stacey up in Lansing. We're supposed to take a bus from the Corner Brewery on which we can drink the whole way there and back and apperently there will be music on the bus too. I suppose it's just CDs, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some live stuff. All it needs is a fucking omlette dude and this is heaven. Once there, we get 12 drink tokens w/ which we can choose from a bunch of local Michigan brews. I imagine the 12 samples are relatively small, but 12 is still a lot and after the bus ride there and back I can't imagine I'll be standing upright on the ground. Maybe I need to get a beer-cozy.Here's the list:

In other beer news, Arsenal plays Chelsea in the finals of the Carling Cup in Cardiff on Sunday. They've made it all the way through the tournament by playing the young, second string players and will apperently continue to do so on Sunday even though Chelsea are set to play their big-name first team people. Stephanie will be over to pick up some of her furniture while I'm watching the game, so I'll have that as a reason to pop open a beer or six too. I hope the young Gunners can beat those Chelsea fucks, but I suppose it'll be tough w/ Henry, Lehmann, Ljungberg, Van Persie, Eboue, and Gallas on the sidelines. Yet another reason to down a few. Beer: it's a good thing.
