Because we apparently cannot get enough of each other, the [DFO] So Cal branch will be sponsoring a field trip to one of the area’s finest brewers of beer, known simply as The Bruery. The Bruery has been featured twice in the Beer Barrel, and although I have not personally been able to visit this fine establishment, I have had a number of their exquisite, inebriating elixirs, such as the exceptional rye barrel aged Smoking Wood, a 14%er that put a smile on my face faster than any Moosemas Brew, and just last week, their seasonal 9 Ladies Dancing which, while not my favorite, was interesting in that it tasted like a tiramisu and coffee milk stout.
This get together is largely due to the fact that our semi-estranged, Aussieland living friend, WhyEaglesWhy has returned home to the area for the holidays and will likely be in dire need of alcohol for that exact reason. He has even mentioned that he will bringing some local brews to sample from “Down Und-ah”, as I hear they affectionately like to be referred to as.
So come join him, Son of Spam, ballsofsteelandfury, myself and possibly more(!), as DFO invades the Bruery, this Saturday, 12/17 at 2pm at their main tasting room in, uh, “beautiful” Placentia, CA. Everyone be sure to save your receipts so that we can expense this all to DTZM, just in time for Xmas! Let us know if you plan to attend in the comments, and we’ll make sure to find you…
…one way or another.

I hope Brick is reading this!
In the immortal words of Bart Scott, can’t wait!
My mother in law brought over a giant present to take to my parents, which means suitcase space is now at a premium, but I will definitely still sneak a couple of nice brews in there somewhere.
I’m hoping to get there but since I’m going on my 14th hour of battling stomach flu it’s hard to make a firm commitment.
Plus I worked until after 8 last night and was there to open at 7 this morning. It’s been unpleasant.
A firm commitment, or what you’d like your shits to become?
Count me among the “and many more!” faction, in that I expect to attend, but cannot guarantee attendance as of this time.
Updated my project to Ruby 2.2…
Compiled? CHECK

Does it work…?
[five minutes worth of muttered swears later…]
YEAH!
Wait, Denard Span has a kid? And he’s a DFOer?
That’s been fixed, and now YOU look like the idiot.
Wait, no, that’s still me.
I’m not an idiot, I’m an asshole.
NOW ya tell me?!?!?!
😉
I’d definitely hop on the train and pop up there if I didn’t work on Saturdays. Hope you guys have a blast.
