"This past weekend I had the assignment to "bring the beer" for a weekend
tennis match against a rival local neighborhood. As we regard our team mostly
as "a beer drinking team with a tennis problem", this assignment was of no
minor importance. Taking my responsibility seriously, I headed to Greens in
Atlanta to stock up. Knowing that the average tennis match is populated by a
plethora of the latest super bowl ad light beers, I intended to elevate the
collective pallet of our two teams. Accordingly, I headed directly for my
personal favorite, Terrapin Rye Pale Ale (if I like it, every body else must
also, right?). On my way, I almost stumbled over (no, I had not had any yet) a
brand new display of "Rye-Squared" that I did not know was out in bottles yet.
Of course, I stuck a couple 4 packs in my cart (in the interests of full
disclosure, I must confess that these never actually made it to the the tennis
courts - chalk it up to 'research'). I filled my cart up with abou
t a 2 to 1 mix of six packs of Terrapin Rye Pale Ale and Cream Ale. Saturday
morning, I filled my (overlarge) cooler with the bottled elixir and a healthy
quantity of ice and headed to the courts. To my dismay, one of my team-mates
had mis-read the assignment list and brought a cooler full of "silver bullets".
Needless to say, at the end of the afternoon, I had an empty cooler, and he
still had enough "silver bullets" to kill several packs of werewolves. All in
all, I had succeeded in raising the level of performance of our team (we
actually lost at tennis, but kicked their butts at beer!)."
