Out Of Time If Not Beer

When I finished the ol' morning jog at 7:30 this morning I went straight to fridge and cracked open a cold bottle of Boulevard Dry Stout. Why? Because it's Friday! And on Friday we think about beer, am I right? Whoo hoo! Yay for beer!

Irish Fest Contest Queen Cami Travis Groves, who ironically is neither dry nor stout herself, wants you to be thinking about beer your own good self. And she wants you to hurry the hell up about it:
"Saturday (tomorrow) is the LAST day to turn in your home-brewed stout beer for the brewing contest. Bring your three bottles of (BJCP style #13) stout to Bacchus & Barleycorn, 6633 Nieman Road in Shawnee, Kansas, BEFORE 4 p.m., this Saturday, August 22.

The Prizes (in addition to bragging-rights):
• First prize is four one-day Snug Membership Passes at this year’s Irish Fest, and a $50 gift certificate to Bacchus & Barleycorn!!
• Second prize is two one-day Snug Membership Passes* at this year’s Irish Fest, and a $35 gift certificate to Bacchus & Barleycorn!!
• Third prize is four one-day Irish Fest tickets, an Irish Fest merchandise certificate, and a $20 gift certificate to Bacchus & Barleycorn!!

A one-day Snug Membership includes:
  • Festival admission
  • Ten drink tickets (one ticket per drink, good throughout the Irish Fest for water, soda, beer and wine)
  • Unlimited in/out access to the Snug tent and its amenities
  • Food in the Snug tent
  • Commemorative Snug t-shirt
  • KCIF poster
  • Souvenir membership card and lanyard
  • Door prizes

Good luck!"
