As another Tribe season goes the way of Bomont (no dancing - c'mon, stay with me here), we turn our attention to things with a greater likelihood of payoff. And with more universal appeal.Attention beer fans: the annual Craft Brewers Conference descends upon Washington, DC at the end of March. Breweries from around the nation (and the world, as far as I know) come to town to show their wares and tantalize with their tipples (it's early - at least I tried, unlike our friend at Sentence of Dave).
There's an embarrassment of brewing riches headed this way, but one event in particular stands out for the G:TB family. On Friday, March 29, at Scion Restaurant, the good people of Oskar Blues Brewery host 'Dale's Dirty Dozen'. Dale himself will be in the house, offering tastes of 11 draft brews and oSKAr the G’Rauch Smoked IPA, a collaboration with Ska Brewing Company.
The event happens to coincide with the Sweet Sixteen matchups in the Midwest and South Regionals, allowing us to combine two of our passions. Great beer, March hoops? I don't see a downside.
Who knows - maybe I'll drink enough to forget the idea of comparing the 2013-14 Tribe with Ren McCormack.

excellent picture choice
indeed
Feel free to tune in to Fox Sports to experience the train-wreck that is Gus Johnson doing soccer.
He is awful. His announcing consists of saying the name of the guy who gets the ball with an inflection that tells you how close the player is to scoring.
"Nani...Evra...ROONEY!"
It's a good time for craft beer in VA. We've got a new brewery that opened late last year in Salem - Parkway Brewing Co. They just started bottling, so keep an eye out.
It's taking me forever to finish my case of Dale's now that I can go fill my growler at the source.
My 90 year old grandmother announced that she would like to learn to play golf. She can barely walk. I'm flabbergasted
northeastern scored the final 12 points of the first half of their caa semi against mason. to get within 12.
northeastern run now 24-0. tie game. zoinks.
This time next week the Teej and will be hanging out and will quite likely be very overserved.
You know it
Gus Johnson is indeed terrible at soccer announcing, but the way that he's terrible is kind of surprising. He's a radical minimalist, almost like a really good version of a video game announcer. He just says really basic things like the players name and about 30% of the time he says a fact about the player, or sometimes the team. That's it.
It's not as terrible as some announcers across various sports, but it's annoying because it's so unnecessary to have him there and it's distracting because you tend to think about it the whole game.
northeastern won after trailing 31-7. mason was up 6 with 2:30 left...and never took another shot. florida-level fail.
I also see that Temple came back and beat VCU by 8. Tourney time can't come soon enough. Giddy.
these Michigan shoe/sock combinations are an abomination
I wrote very briefly about Percy Harvin today, and man do people not like his malcontent ass.
I like Percy. Feel bad that he's stuck with a shitty QB like Ponder.
walkoff win for tribe baseball against rutgers. don't think i won't start writing about them.
Going from a tiny fish in a puddle to an amoeba in a contact lens
Sorry I'm just bitter about Rutgers baseball. When is this team going to make it to the micro-regionals? There's more high school baseball talent in New Jersey than in at least 15 or 20 other states. Upstream red team. Red team upstream. Rah rah. Rutgers rah.
Comment of the day, Jer
And all of these things are more popular than the World Baseball Classic.
Or that anybody cares that Rory McIlroy walked off the course in a tournament nobody cares about.
The first two weeks in March - stuff nobody cares about.
Duuuuuuuuuukes....
Duuuuuuuuuukes....
Danimal cares, Jerry.
One game away from a Dayton showdown against 20-loss Liberty.
that wouldn't be a terrible outcome. likely to win that game, and with it a full ncaa tournament share for the conference. dolla dolla bill, y'all.
