99 Bottles

Early in 2010 the people at the Celebration Town Tavern approached me with an interesting opportunity to participate in their Beer Club.  Many people have already completed the task of working their way through all 99 different bottles on the list, some are working on it currently, and numerous more will try it in the future.

Though in our arrangement I will not have to pay for the beers along the way, I will approach it the same as anyone else.  My first visit to the Celebration Town Tavern was just in January 2010 and with that I will bring no previous opinions of the place or the people that work and visit there as I move forward in this venture.

A few times each week I will make entries on this site that will describe not only my honest opinions of the beers that I crossed of the list for that week, but also recapping my time at there along the way.  I will be meeting many people who work there, those who are visiting for the food, and many who are crossing numbers off the beer list just like me.  Not to mention enjoying the special events held there throughout the year.

Though the entries will appear on the front page of this site on the day that they are posted, this page will be where the collection of posts will ultimately live.

Let the journey begin . . .
