This week we know what teams have advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament we move on to our second round in our Beer Madness 2013. Congratulations to to Michigan, Syracuse, Wichita State, and Louisville for making it to the Final Four. We here at the Beer Friends would like to wish Kevin Ware a speedy recovery, it was reported yesterday that he was up and walking around on crutches which is great news after his injury this past weekend.
In the spirit of competition, Beer Friends would like to invite everyone to our second season of NFL hashtag battles! Using hashtagbattle.com we will pit two breweries against each other when their NFL counterparts are facing off on the gridiron. Are you ready for some football? And drinking? And #hashtag battle?!?!?!
What’s a hashtag battle? When you’re drinking a beer of a brewery competing in the battle, throw a #hashtag of the brewery and tweet it (or setup your foursquare or untappd to push to tweet and include the #hashtag) and we’ll use hashtagbattle.com to declare a winner after the Monday Night football game on ESPN. Support your team, support your beer, drink local and hashtag battle!
Week Eight – Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (#RogueBeer vs #Founders)
These are two hard to figure teams of the NFL season so far. The Detroit Lions coming off a playoff appearance and Seahawks starting a rookie midget – sorry… little person at QB. But the Lions have been a disappointment and find themselves in the familiar confines of the NFC Norris Division basement and the Seahawks have done it with the help of Replacement Ref’s… Let’s see who’s an actual pretender or contenter in this weeks Hashtag Battle!
This week we had friends! Chris O’Leary (@BrewYorkNY) of the famed Brew York, New York stopped in to enjoy a Founder’s Porter with the Beer Friends. Now we seem legit… like we have actual friends… this is a big day for us. Anyway – we’ve reviewed a few Founders in the past (and this one, and this one, and don’t forget this one) but this one was special… because of friendship. Founders! Grand Rapids! Actual Friends!
Hallelujah! The Apocalypse/Judgement Day/Coolest Party Ever has been averted! Well, maybe it wasn’t ever going to happen in the first place, or maybe somebody out there prayed really hard…or the Big Guy upstairs didn’t want to end the ingenuity of American Craft Brewing just yet. You know, just when it was starting to get good. (more…)
