5th Annual Human Powered Brewery Tour for ALS
Saturday, February 4th, 2012. 10:00 am.
On July 27th of this year, the finest, most handsome competitors from around the world will gather in swinging, rioting London for the Games of the XXX Olympiad! Oh that we could be
there, to hurl a silvery spear into the steamy yob-filled night, to toss
aloft the gossamer weight of a gleaming white plastic ball, to swim, swim
synchronously and true in costumes scant, yet somehow tasteful. I fear I’m mixing up synchronized swimming
and ice dancing. Maybe they should be
mixed up. No matter, off subject as
usual.
But alas we are no Olympians, merely mortals who like to
compete. So compete we shall, in the
Fort Collins Human Powered Brewery Tour Heptathlon! In honor of this being an Olympic year we
will transform our annual brewery tour into a quasi-competition and celebration
of international costume and bad accents.
Here, then, are the rules:
1) Choose
a country and align yourself with that county.
Lean their dress, their customs, their favorite sport, their favorite
beer, their favorite accent. Come
prepared, come dressed up. Medals will
be awarded to the three best representatives.
More than one person can be part of the same country. Then you will be a team! Organize yourselves accordingly. My inclination is to represent Ghana of
course!
2) Give
generously to the ALS Association. Every year we do
this as a fund-raiser for ALS and this year, particularly this year,
is no exception. 5 years ago Celeste lost her cousin Annie to ALS. Last fall she lost her cousin Bob to the same disease. We honor their spirit and memories by hosting the brewery tour and raising money for the ALS association. We raised over $400 last
year, and we want to raise over $1,000 this year.
Medals to the top three fund-raising countries. That’s a good reason to get together and join
a team!!
3) Visit
all 7 old town Fort Collins
breweries by human powered means only.
This means anything not motorized! Bike, run, walk, skate, roller-blade, big wheel, pogo stick, kayak, you get the idea. You will cover about 4 or 5 miles if you hit all 7 breweries so crawling or leap-frogging is not totally encouraged. Obtain a coaster or a photo of yourself from each brewery and bring your
coasters/camera to the Trail Head Tavern for verification. Sampling of beers at each brewery is
technically optional, but, you know, whatever.
Participants who visit all 7 breweries will be eligible to medal in the
FCHPBTH (Fort Collins Human Powered Brewery Tour Heptathlon). It is not a speed competition. It’s a style competition. A, dare I say, competition de panache. I’ll
know it when I see it. You will be
competing in the following events at each brewery.
4) The
7 breweries and competitions, you ask?
IN THIS ORDER:
Yes, everyone starts at New Belgium
at 10:00 am. We have a lot of stops on
this year’s tour, so get cracking (remember on the first year, when there was
only one brewery in town? Me neither.). Everyone meet at the Trail Head Tavern after
it is all over for awards. Believe me,
they’re the only place that will accept us by then.
Oh and, special prizes for legacy members, you know who you are! The prizes will be even more special than last year!
Here are some pictures from previous years:
2008, First, uh, annual!
2009, 2nd annual!
2010, 3rd annual!
2011, 4th annual!
Awesome! The Mays(team Ireland?)will be there drinking stout and dominating Gaelic football, Hurling and handball competitions and crushing all other teams in billiards and snooker.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
