For folks bringing beers to sample, beers a bit on the lighter side, color and/or alcohol content, are usually a bit better for warmer weather than stouts and porters. IPAs, IIPAs, Belgian dubbels/trippels/quads and even an imperial pumpkin brew from Weyerbacher or imperial Octoberfest (The Kaiser) from Avery would be good choices. Of course, if dpslaw found Chocolat or Mokah from Southern Tier, I'd be most obliged to help him finish the bomber ;) .

Damn this global warming; the calendar says it's stout season!

The brisket is cooked and cooling in the fridge! Tomorrow I'll slice it! It smells so good in the house now!

Brisket smells almost as good as bacon!

Further instructions from Mom:

Tell Tim that we have two guests. I have a 50 dollar bill for him. Tell Ozzie to get several extra beers. I do not know what kind. John had a Bud Light at the banquet. I will give Ozzie a $20 and he can be in charge of the bar. I am certain they will not drink much. I will take several diet cokes. I know that Patsy likes them. She had white wine at the banquet.
Love, Mom

I've already included John and Patsy in my count, so that number is not going up. I'm simply sharing this information for the purpose of passing along Mom's instructions to Tim and Ozzie. One thing I know for sure: Ozzie is going to make money at this game.

It's not my money! I just hold onto it when we have extra! I do have to wonder what Tim will do for $50! ;)

Whatever it is, I hope I'm in camera range....

Quoting myself again = PWing.

What I think is so funny is that my teetotaling mother wants to give Ozzie $20 for Bud Light and in the next sentence writes, "I am certain they will not drink much." My mom has absolutely no idea how much beer costs.

Do they have to drink Bud Light? How about the Yuengling that I'm planning to bring? Is that OK? I promise that it is not an overpowering brew, like some that dd likes!

I don't know. I've never met these people. Mom saw John drink a Bud Light at a tennis tournament banquet in Pinehurst. That might have been all that the club was offering. For all I know, he may like--even love--these exotic beers that DD drinks. Mom met these people in India. I imagine they will try most anything. They're from Portland, OR, and they're very excited about seeing some southern culture. We are Exhibit B. Pinehurst was Exhibit A.

They're Indian? I think the Yuengling will be fine.

They're from Portland, Oregon. If you serve Yuengling, you will be insulting them. Some Full Sail brews would be good ;) .

Their names are John and Patsy, not Narpat and Anjali. Mom MET them in India. They're from Portland.

Guess I'll have to buy a sixer of Bud Light...

Raise your hand if you have been to India [Insert smiley of me raising my hand]

Raise your hand if you desire to return to India [Insert smiley of me not raising my hand]

However, it sounds like a nice conversation starter, "So, did your trip to India suck as much as mine?". On second thought, perhaps I should stifle myself.

Even more offensive than Yuengling if they're from Portland.

If that is your conversation starter, you might get one of these:
