Our own version of Oktoberfest...

One of our good friends suggested a beer tasting night and told the boys to each buy 3 6-packs of beers they hadn't tried. This past Saturday we all got together for a cookout and the beer tasting adventure. By the time we were finished we had tasted 16 beers in all, some new names and some of the old favorites that were in the refrigerator. The tasters included myself and Matt along with Mike and Melissa Collier and Mike Potts. Each of us rated each beer on a scale of 1-10. In the end, Melissa averaged all the scores and crowned a winner. Yuengling took home the crown of this beer tasting evening. It was a fun time and I am sure we will do it again soon. However, no need for a full 6 pack of each beer, we only used one of each beer for us to try and some of them were so bad that the other 5 will probably stay in the refrigerator for a long, long time.
