Schnoctobeerfest 2009
Going into Saturday, I was truthfully, worried. Several people had cancelled, due to various reasons, and the weather forecast had turned colder. I needn't have worried; we had several surprise participants & the weather was perfect for wool (with little wind). The ride commenced at 10 am & the group quickly broke into two groups. Everyone re-united at the first beerstop, where a curious thing happened: it was so cold that no one drank a beer! As a group, we made the decision to make our stops short, as we had smoked brisket & a giant ice barrel of tasty brews waiting for us at CiTy BiLLy World Headquarters. We did manage to stop at Irv's and have a barley pop & then trudged back to Elkhorn. After eating a mind blowing meal, the difficult job of beer judging began. Winners in no particular order included Modus Hoperandi (ska brewing) , Sierra Nevada Pale Ale & Blonde (Lee's excellent homebrew).

Last Minute Musings
The weather forecast has changed; a little bit colder, and windier. I thought to warm up everyone, I'd post this picture from two years ago, with Gore dipping into one of the secret beer control stops. It was so hot, that many of us took a dip in the pool at the end of the ride. I hope everyone has a safe journey to CiTy BiLLy World Headquarters!

Beer Stops Part Two
The beer stops at Schnoctobeerfest will feature several classic American volume beers. These are friends when the waves get rough, and yet aren't so bitter that they make you want to jump overboard. We'll try to have an assortment in each of our portable containment devices.
