That is right, it is the amazing time of year when Ben Catlin has his major birfamaday madness blowout.
Well, it won’t be a complete blow-out because my wife is giving me a significantly limited budget from what I did last year (but in her defense…it did cost a lot of money to go out to eat that much in one day).
This years theme is, surprise, Beer!
But, here is the plan
Saturday May 5th
1 to 2pm-ish – go to a matinée of Spiderman 3 (movie times aren’t out yet, this time and theater will be finalized when they are)
4:30 ish – Fire up the grill. This is BOYM (Bring your own Meat) event. We will have a good selection, but limited quantities of various meats of my choosing to try with some of the beers, and some burgers and brats, but I’m not going crazy nuts on this like I did last 4th of July. So, bring your meat for your dinner, and then enjoy some of the other meats with beers later. Cheaper beer and pop (not soda) will be provided as well as chips and some other sides at this time.
6:00 – Begin the serious Beer. I’m going to Zipps liquor sometime soon to clean them out of some of my favorite beers. And we will try them with some of the food that I think makes them awesome (think Avery’s Czar’s Imperial Stout or the Old Engine Oil Reserve Stout with some decent steak….Seth I know you’re loving those)
8:00 it should be getting dark, which will mean less outside activities….so the beer movies inside and we play some Wii for a while.
9:30~10ish – start watching Beerfest….the movie that the braincell was born to watch.
And then when that wraps up the festivities.
All braincell members are STRONGLY encouraged to come to Minnesota for this event. As is ANYONE else who can read this and has any sort of desire to attend.
Harder start times for the movie and dinner will follow in later blog posts and emails.
Post a comment or shoot me an email if you plan on coming so I know how much beer and sides to buy.
