Celebration! Or Not?

 A few months ago, I spotted an upcoming event on Facebook and tagged it.  Here is what it read:

So, today, after a busy day at home, we decided to check it out.  Off to White Rock Alehouse and some much needed fish and chips.  Yep - kinda hungry this afternoon --- it's about 4 p.m. when we arrive.  We have a beer and our food and when the server stops by to see if I want another drink, it's not quite 5 so I say I'm waiting for the Celebration! to be tapped.  He says is it available now and pours me a glass.  It IS an IPA, like the ad says.


At this point, I move us outside to where I "think" the presentation will occur.  There is a band playing and it's a beautiful afternoon.  


Well, except for Mr. Grumpy Pants.  Not sure what his issue is today.


Saw this t-shirt and just had to laugh out loud.  Called him "Mr. Nipples" the rest of the time and at one point he was even playing the bongos on stage with the band.


The brewers all gathered on stage and it was fun to see our "hood" breweries represented.  We know Brad, from OHB, the best and he is the one presenting.  I had spoke with him earlier and told him I had the Celebration! IPA already and it was yummy.  He gave me the most quizzical look and said that the collaboration beer is a Pilsner and won't be out until April.  At this point, I'm lost and it seems he is too.  I mention he should look at the event post and the conversation ends.  When he does the presentation, he simply toasts the conservancy and talks about working together as breweries.  Well, I think that's all he says be cause this crowd is the rudest I've ever seen and it's very hard to hear them.


At any rate --- we had a good time and have no idea what I drank.  It is what it is.
