The Journey Has Ended

We have completed the circle of midwestern Hobrauhauses, with a couple extra bier venue visits. While Barley Man is absent from this picture at Hofbrauhaus Newport, he did visit during our brief recuperation in Dayton.

Less than two weeks away... Questions Remain

 Less than two weeks until the trip of a lifetime..  Oktoberfest Analysts are wondering:


1.  How many beers will be drunken total during the trip?

2.  How many beers will Flyin Dan leave half full?

3.  How many times will Doppleboch say" Good god, that's horrible!"... or something to that effect.

4. Will sheep be present at Flyin Dan's farm?  Will the lambs look like Flyin Dan?  

5. How may different law enforcement jurisdictions will the crew personally encounter?

6. Sausages or Hendl?..  at some point, it won't matter.

7. Will the team stay away from discussing politics for 8 whole days???

8. In what form will Einfahrt appear,  spiritual only?

9.  Will Chugger go over Niagara Falls in a beer keg?  

10.  And the final question:  Who the fuck is Alice?
