Fine. How 'bout I bring a two-burner gas stove and a bottle of wine
instead of beer?

Deal!
Probably oughta coordinate with Montblack (who is currently AWOL from the
groups, due to an ISP problem) over who brings what -- but that sounds great
to me!

Wait a minute!
I vaguely remember a rule about wine posted here last year. It was
either on the "you buy at Friar Tuck's" or some other restriction list.

Hmmm -- you may be right! I think we DID make some rule disallowing any
girly fruity drinks on-site. I'll have to check my records...

Perhaps if George were to bring us all some extra special "ground-softener,"
we could allow it?

That was last year. We're not talking about the ten commandments here.

Okay, new century of flight, new party rules.

Boy, just look how hard it is to hold the beer moral high ground. One year,
we stand united against the evil grape -- this year, we collapse like a
house of cards! What next?

*sigh* Okay, wine is "in." But "light beer" is STILL verboten!

What about Weisse?

As long as it's made following the official German recipe, it's "beer" in my
book. (For a good explanation of the Bavarian Purity Law, and how real beer
is made, see http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/sprbrew.html )

Personally, I used to love a good Hefe Weiss beer, with a slice of lemon in
it -- and it's still great on a hot summer's day. However, over the past
decade or so my tastes have grown darker. "Amber" or "Red" is about as
light as I'll normally drink now.

Then I suspect you haven't had "beer" much in the US. With small exception
NOTHING these days strictly meets Reinheitsgebot and it's probably a good
thing. Most beers use a fairly carefully cultured yeast. Reinheitsgebot permits
only barley, hops, and water. Your beloved wheat beer is also right out.
However corn and rice and (who knows these days in the US, high fructose
corn syrup) adjuncts are an abomination no matter what.

Madison natives Lou and Peter Berryman (no relation), have the essence of
Wisconsin in the following song (although in their defense, they also have one
about Wisconsin in the summer called "Have you heard about the heat?").


Lunch and cheese and dinner and cheese
Fall and cheese and winter and cheese
Chips and cheese and jerky and cheese
Nuts and cheese and turkey and cheese
Cheese with pies and peppers and peas
Snow and beer and cheese

Cheese and snow and hockey and snow
Cows and snow Milwaukee and snow
Boots and snow and dripping and snow
Ice and snow and slipping and snow
Wind and snow, a car that won't go
Beer and cheese and snow

Snow and beer and bowling and beer
Golf and beer and trolling and beer
School and beer and sledding and beer
Love and beer and (a) wedding and beer
Cold beer here, getcher beer here
Cheese and snow and beer

Slush and ale and Monterey jack
Flakes and brie and a cheap six pack
Drifts and curds and a head of good suds
Cheese whiz ice and couple of Buds
All keeps well at thirty degrees
Snow and beer and cheese

That is sadly true -- it can be hard to come by. Which is why I've been
known to fly to Milwaukee, just to pick up some fresh Sprecher!

It has it's own tune. I've been lobbying with the Airventure folks
to bring these guys in for the Theatre in the Woods some night.
They are a gas (and just down the road in Madison).

Cheese....snow....and beer. Yep that is what I remember about the 11 years I
lived in Vis-con-son.

Two happiest days in Wisconsin, the day I bought a snowmobile and the day I
sold it. Of course the fact that all snowmobile trails go from one beer stube
to another made the days and nights somewhat tolerable.

The old parking lot at EAA, where the exhibit buildings are now, used to make a
good snowmobile area.
