A friendly wager (part hat trick)

[MakiSupaStar]

Lakers will beat the Celtics. GregC says he's out and SoCom says the check is in the mail from last season. I'll believe that one when I see it. Who's willing to put a sixer on their local microbrew on the line?

Here's who we've got so far:
Warwick Hoy vs Maki
Deluge of Sound vs Maki
Gard vs Maki
Joe Gress vs Maki
arbitrary vs Maki
jrthebassguy vs Maki

EDIT: So I'm capping it with these players. Good luck gentlemen. Go LAKERS!!!!

This is just a flimsy pretext to get free beer from the TB citizenry. I'll take you up on your bet even though I'll be watching the Stanley Cup finals, vice versa,...I get a sixer of your favorite local if the Celtics go all the way.

I admit I'm half tempted to put a sixer of smuttynose on the line for the celtics.

Well, as you may know Gard is the best source for beer. He's sends me some of the tastiest beer. Old Town brown ale. Delicious. It's become kind of a tradition between us. He loses, and he sends me a sixer. But I have taken a recent hankering to Mirror Pond out of Portland. But if you know of an IPA or regular pale ale from your part of the Pacific Nothwest, I would gladly bet you a sixer from a good microbrewery out of SoCal. I do realize that I'm talking about taking a bet with someone from a region with famous for fine tasting beer.

So do we have a bet?

Yup,....I'll have to see what Northern Lights has coming out (we had a keg of the creme ale at our wedding reception). They are about the only Microbrew left in Spokane. Of course there is Dry Fly Distilling right next door.

This is really just an excuse to send you a local brew.

Alrighty then. It's on. We have the Huntington Beach Brewery here, but there are others too. Let me do some 'research' on which is the best one. But as far as the bet goes we're on.

As much as I loathe Kobe (I LOVE watching Bell clothsline him on youtube), the Lakers are a good team and have a decent enough shot that I won't be betting.

You've been around long enough for me to take your beer even if you aren't a supporting member. So does this half tempted mean we're on?

[Deluge Of Sound]

Count me in, I'll bet against the Lakers.

The real question is, which Microbrew do you want?

edit-As I'm in Maine, and we're 2nd in Microbrews per capita in the country.

We can figure this out as we go along. So we're on.

...sigh...I got no shame, and I honestly think I have a fair shake this year, but if not, I would hate to deprive Daren of his Old Town Brown.

I'm in.

Bitch.

Sure, why not. Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of IPAs or Pale Ales, but I'm sure I can find something.

[blendermassacre]

this is always an interesting wager. Either Maki ends up beer rich or money poor. I might be tempted. We have some awesome Boulevard beers that come in 750ml bottles. Maybe a pair of those.... hmm..

[Atoz]

I couldn't care less about the Lakers or the Celtics, but I'm in just for laughs.

You'll have to let me know the outcome, Daren, since I won't even be watching.

[Joe Gress]

Hey Maki,












**** you. I'm getting a beer out of you this time.

But if I lose at least you know I'll pay up. Unlike some lazy b...

[jrthebassguy]

I'm down.

As far as (good) micro brews here go, your choices are Saint Arnold, Southern Star, and of course, Shiner.

You might be a two time loser in this little game, but you've always promptly paid your debts. I might heckle you for a lot of things, but I will never call you a welcher. We're on BTW.

Well, that's good because you're not going to be the one drinking them. You have yourself a bet.
