\"ThankgivingA couple of days ago, a story in Inside Hook asked, “Is the beer dinner dead?”<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll have to touch the link to see what the answer might be. My comment would be that anybody who has been to a beer dinner at Good Word Brewing and Public House<\/a> in Georgia would answer, “Hell, no!”<\/p>\n

And I’ll use the story for an excuse to link to a series of posts from almost 17 years ago, in which I asked, “If you could invite four people dead or alive to a beer dinner who would they be? What four beers would you serve?” The first to answer was Neal Stewart<\/a>, then marketing director at Flying Dog Brewery. A few months before, the brewery launched a website called BeerDinners.com. I’m not sure how long after they let the domain name go, but it is now for sale for $2,695.<\/a> (Sighs deeply).<\/p>\n

And the rest . . .<\/p>\n
