At thenewgreen's prodding, I am making an advance announcement for the next Hubski IRC drink club! The theme for the drink club is rep your favorite local brewery. The rules are a bit specific, and I'm lazy, so I've copied and pasted my comment on the rules from a previous thread:
- Here's a theme suggestion (but it may be difficult for some): closest (serious)^ local brewery that distributes as locally as possible. You have to pick a beer produced by a brewer from your city/town (or nearest city/town). Ideally from a brewer that doesn't distribute outside the city (or, if that doesn't work, the state). If it has to be a local brewery that distributes nationally (e.g. say, something like Dogfish Head), so be it.
^I say serious, as in, there are some restaurants that brew their own beer, but it's more of a novelty and not actually good beer, and they don't tend to actually distribute.
When: Monday, 5/26 - 10pm Eastern/9pm Central/8pm Mountain/7pm Pacific Where: irc.mountai.net - #hubski (or this link)

Ah, there is a famous brewery in Armenia called Kilikia (controversially built over ancient ruins of a kingdom by that name). Their beer is killer, bitter and strong but damn smooth at the same time. If only I wasn't in Neurosis County NJ where kids smuggle Natural Lite to their basement to get "turnt." Any Balkan or Arab-Mediterranean Hubskiers may be able to find it, just a suggestion.
