and transgender gathering will also be held
Saturday, Apr. 30, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lake
Herrick Pavilion (UGA Intramural Fields).
The theme for this year's picnic—really a
potluck, where each person brings a dish to share
(in something other than glass) and does not
bring their pet—is “Honoring Our Graduates,
Alumni and Allies.' All are invited. There is a $2
donation.

Ort And Brew Fest
The 10th Annual Classic City Brew Fest, held
on Saturday, Apr. 16, has come and gone, but
lemme tell ya, folks, it was quite the event! Early
on, I wandered over to Cooper Creek Brewing's
table, where I opted for the Imperial Mocha Porter
that brewer Matt Buley had cask-conditioned. This
well-over-6-percent brew was outrageously huge
and tasty, with roasty, chocolate, coffee notes and
a definite hop presence.
“This may well end up being the best thing
here,' I scribbled, slightly shell-shocked by the
intensity of the brew. It was. Matt you're gonna
make it impossible for me to lose weight with
offerings like this. My Gold Medal Award of the
year goes to you, sir. now make some more of the
stuff for the folks who didn't make the fest!!
You'll never believe what I sampled next Do
not laugh: I didn't and I still haven't I walked
over to Anheuser-Busch's table and sampled their
new B to the E. Seriously. “Interesting, clean. Lots
of flavors in there, but they don't clash.' I wrote.
I can drink this with a perfectly straight face.
although the style—a beer with caffeine, ginseng
and guarana—reminds me of the 'smart drinks'
fad from some years ago. I wasn't impressed with
those at all* I am with this. This stuff beats all
the flavored, herbed, energized products I've suf
fered through samples of beforehand. I actually
recommend it No joke.
Highland Brewing of Asheville, North Carolina
was my next stop, where their new Highland
Heather Ale proved itself surprisingly dark with
good herbal flavor. My highest recommendation.
My Silver Medal of the year.
My next destination was Thomas Creek Brewing
of Greenville, South Carolina, where I went for the
unknown. Thomas Creek Doppelbock was very
malty (as befits the style, natch) and packed a
gently alcoholic punch. I've never seen this in
bottles. I sure do wish it wasn't so hard to find
here. Highly recommended. This gets my Bronze
Medal of the year.
Next I found myself at Great Divide's table.
This Denver, Colorado brewery has recently
obtained distribution here. They are noted for
their 'challenging' ales. There were two notable
examples. "Wow! Hercules Double IPA is nothing
short of hop tea!' I wrote, my mouth almost
stinging from the copious flavors. I'll have to re
examine this product in another tasting very soon,
I wiU, yes, I wilL Urn, most highly recommended.
Whew!
“The smoothness belies the 10 percent ABV,' I
wrote of Old Kuffian Barteywine. 'Goes down all
too easily.' Sigh. I recommend this, but won't
sample it again until I lose some of my extra
weight (or volume, whichever state I'm in).
Prosit!
