Spring is here . Finally ! Suffering through a long winter always makes springtime a more welcome sight . Anticipation is high as we patiently wait for the Springding at the Schell ' s brewery . The whole weekend sure is a blast , and this year will be even more enjoyable as the Schell ' s Border Batch gets into the beer delivery game . We have at least nineteen somewhat able bodied volunteers to attempt the feat of delivering possibly one thousand cases of a commemorative Schell ' s Deer Brand Beer for the brewery . Two old restored pickups will be rolling with Border Batchers in tow ready to deliver beer to a thirsty customers doorstep . I thought this was a real neat idea and am grateful Schell ' s thought of our club to make the deliveries . This is one of many promotions commemorating the 150th anniversary of the brewery . For the full story just check out Schell ' s website . The dates of delivery are April 16th and 17th , which works out great for us because the Spring show at the Brewery is April 18th . We can only hope for good weather for the weekend and encourage everyone to stop out to the Brewery Sunday or swing over to my garage Saturday night for the pre-party . Along with some excellent breweriana to be bought , sold , or traded we will be serving lunch for donations . This years raffle promises to have very nice prizes for some lucky ticket holders . If anyone is interested , after the show Sunday , myself , Murray , Beer Goggles , and Benny had a boatload of fun visiting the local bars last year and plan on doing it again . Out-of-towners wishing to join us are welcome to stay at my place .
Attending more shows was a priority of mine and I did make it to the Hamm ' s show at the Medina . A very nice venue , many collectibles , and sounded like quite a party the night before at the hotel . Due to my on call schedule , I did miss the Springfest put on by the Northstar chapter , which was disappointing to me because I enjoyed this show in the past and purchased some neat collectibles . A minivan full of drunks invaded the Miner residence in Winnebago for a " business " meeting . We did have a good meeting and nothing else happened ! This may have something to do with a short term memory loss suffered by me later in the day .
I will leave you with a beer quote as I have in previous articles . This one is from a local New Ulm drinking legend named Leon . Who is also a pioneer of stupid human tricks . " Look to the North , look to the South , this f *** in ' beers goin ' down my mouth !" Ah , the good old high school party days !
Lets have one ! President Stubie
