Whiskey Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm going to have to try this at least once. Hope I make it to the end of the night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparently has a "good size head and some staying power." And yeah, bitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofmon88 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This makes me want to go see what Aussie beers I could pair with finals. Granted, the selection here isn't nearly as good at the US... Would it be a faux pas to start drinking at 7am? (when finals starts here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look for beers that in some way connect to the corps, the corps' location, and/or the show concept if I can. Some work out better than others, but I thought you may be interested in seeing this year's line-up. *Disclaimer* This assumes Madison Scouts retain its #12 position. Should the Mandarins or another corps slide in, I'll happily make a run to the store in the morning! In order of appearance:Madison Scouts - Last Man Standing paired with Huntsman by Czig Meister There's a whole lot of hunting going on when Madison performs this year! Who will be the last man standing at the end of this heavy-duty tasting? Crossmen - Engima paired with No Limits by Two RoadsAfter the enigmatic journey, Crossmen breaks through the limits life puts in its way.Blue Stars - Star Crossed Lovers paired with My Bloody Valentine Ale by AleSmithA dark twist on the Blue Stars show. Phantom Regiment - Phantasm paired with Cinnsanity by WeyerbacherThis represents the insanity part of the show when madness grips the Phantom Regiment. Blue Knights - i paired with Big Eye by Ballast PointI mean, it's called "Big Eye." The Cadets - The Faithful, The Fallen, The Forgiven paired with Judgment Day Ale by The Lost AbbeyThis can take on different meanings depending on your take. It certainly fits in the show theme, but is there also a judgment day coming if there a 7th place finish? Boston Crusaders - Wicked Games paired with Witch's Wit by The Lost Abbey This one is pretty straight ahead. The Cavaliers - Men Are From Mars paired with Blithering Idiot by WeyerbacherThis is an homage to the "man speaks" portion of the show. Bluecoats - Jagged Line paired with Line St. Pilsner by Weyerbacher Another straight-ahead one.Carolina Crown - It Is paired with Derailed Ale by Erie Brewing CompanyAs the show progresses, the lines (aka the expected path) move in all sorts of new directions.Santa Clara Vanguard - Ouroboros paired with Dragon's Milk by New Holland BrewingA dragon was the closest I could find to a serpent!Blue Devils - Metamorph paired with Blueberry Ale by Blue PointThis was selected for the tagline on the box - "Seductively sweet" and "mischievously balanced" The Abita Amber is there just because it had a marching band on the label. Um... can I come watch drum corps with you...what a creative way to get drunk LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlejaw Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 All the Sun King I drank before the show today is my pairing for the corps. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newseditor44 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 When I marched, we drank Keystone because we were all poor from having to pay tour dues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
