Friday. The Session. Be there.
Come Friday a bunch of us are going to write about stouts. The theme, class, is “Not your father’s Irish stout.”
Do we have to have a name, too? I’d like to get that out of the way, so I can help answer Alan McLeod’s question Do We Love the Beer or Brewer? and track all the chatter Lew Bryson provoke with his post What We ‘Owe’ the Industry, which was followed by a lengthy discussion at Beer Advocate.
Particularly since I disagree with everybody.
So in the interest of speed I’m picking a name, but not insisting Alan use it when he hosts in April. When we have hosts use the same name two consecutive months that will be the official name. (Kind of like the kid in “A Thousands Clown.”) The danger, of course, is that it will become sport to keep picking different names.
The name is …
The Session.
No.
Another Round.
No.
The Session.
Yes, The Session. Unless I change my mind before Friday.

Good choice on the name, Stan. I’ll be happy to use it should I ever host one.
Looking forward to it!

Seeing as I voted for “The Session” I can hardly complain…but now what stout to try? What happens if everyone picks the same one though a massive fluke?

“What happens if everyone picks the same one though a massive fluke?”
I expect it would be quite interesting to see what different things people write about.
And to your point to see, to the extent people choose to include them, how their tasting notes differ.
Maybe that can be a theme down the road. Everybody write about the same beer.

Do I have to wear a suit and tie?

Ah, sweet reason reigns at last: tell us what name to use! Good call, Stan, and thanks for taking the beer by the horns.

Steve H: A tie would be nice.

Okay, but most of mine come from the Harry Anderson catalog…

Stanley,
I think we should call the day “Lights Out?”
But seeing how I will be in Belgium drinking Fresh Stella, Maes and Jupiler…
I’m Out

A long ways to go for fresh Stella, but I guess we all have our priorities.

I’ve created a logo for The Session. If you want to use if your post, it’s at the following page in three different sizes, with and without a subtitle (that will make sense when you see it).
