I was asked at work if I wanted to volunteer for the Southern Brewer's Festival on September 10th from 6 pm-11 pm down at the Riverfront. I said, "Sure" and even volunteered my friend, Cindy.
I then informed her that she was going with me to serve beer that day and gave her the time. She was more than happy to do this as she hardly ever gets to go out with just the girls.
So, off Cindy and I go be "Beer Girls". We got downtown early enough to find a parking and walk to where we needed to go. Lucky enough, we found a parking a block from where it was set up.
There were 20 different Brewer's Booths set up. We walked down and looked at the various names of types of Beers and chose the cutest sounding one to work at.
We ended up working for Moon River Brewing from Savannah, GA. They had 2 different types of Beer. One light and one dark beer.
The light beer sold like crazy. It was called Wild Wacky Wit-Our wit (white) beer is an old style Belgian wheat-ale, spiced with Curacao bitter orange peel and coriander. Light and exotic... A party in your mouth!(1)
The dark beer wasn't as big of a hit as Wacky Wit. The dark beer was called Swamp Fox-(IPA)India Pale Ale-Like its namesake, this strong ale is known for the sneak attack. Hop-heads will enjoy its assertive bitterness and huge floral, dry hop aroma.(2)
We meet ALOT of different types of people. Some were very special(and I don't mean dear to my heart). It's amazing how some people get so drunk they actually don't know what they are doing.
Now, I'm not a beer drinker at all; so I'm sure you are wondering, why Volunteer at something you don't like. It was for a very good cause. Make-A-Wish Foundation. They help alot of children and children are something that are dear to my heart.
We have a ton of fun; however, when I got home my feet hurt soooooo bad. My one big toe still hurts. But I'm thinking about volunteering up in Knoxville come October for Octoberfest.
PS: Cindy doesn't know yet!!!
