The World's LONGEST Beer Mile!

Hällöö Süssen!

Last weekend, I just couldn't turn down the Ambassador of Belgium's offer to come and join him at the opening day of the world's LONGEST Beer Mile, even though there was not a g&t or champas in sight! His Excellency invited us to the VIP tent, where we mingled with distinguished guests such as the 'Queen of Beer' and the legendary Gambrinus (aka 'John The Fearless'), the Patron Saint of Beer and Brewing. Luckily my driver was on call, as I managed to sample at least 1,200 beers from all around the world, while at the same time, raising awareness for alcoholism and the myriad of problems associated with it.

Enjoy the pics and till next,

Gambrinus sings a merry song, while I enjoy the fruits of the harvest, in an idyllic European setting

I discuss with Her Majesty The Queen of Beer which alcoholic figure in the pictures, she most identifies with. Remember, as David Hasselfhoff once said - the first step to self-help, is self-realization!

His Excellency The Ambassador of Belgium and I, ponder this rare fine Belgian brew

It wasn't long though, before I was stopped by these drinking police, who had the nerve to ask me for I.D. and then insisted on humiliating me in front of all the people on the beer mile (which is actually 2.2 kilometres), by forcing me to take a breathalyser test

I now have an acquired a taste for rustic mountain cherry beer
