A bit earlier this month due to travel plans, but here we go...
November Virtual Pub
11/14
Theme:
A Brewery Cornucopia
AKA "The ABCs of Beer"
We've got lots to be thankful for this holiday season, including the wide assortment of craft breweries and styles available today.
Let's celebrate that variety with a bit of a challenge - a brewery pangram.
The goal is to collectively assemble a selection of beers from breweries whose names start with each letter of the alphabet.
If the brewery or style means something to you, even better. Fun beer names encouraged. We can vote/argue about the best one at the VP.
Points will be awarded based on the Scrabble value of each letter. Duplicates are okay, but we can't declare a winner unless we cover the entire alphabet. If any letter becomes elusive for a brewery, we can substitute a beer name if we have to.
Let me know if you want to claim a letter and I'll keep track of what is needed.

Fabulous idea. Thanks for volunteering.
I'll take Z to start. Do you need to know the brewery and beer name in advance?

We gonna have trouble with Q and X after Mr. Google showed me a lot of Qs and a few Xs but they ain't local.
I never had a Xinghu and can't think of the last time I saw one on a shelf anywhere (20+ years most likely).

Xingu was adding lactose to beer long before it was cool.
At least, by memory, that was a key ingredient in a sweet and smooth dark ale.

No need to provide in advance unless you want to share. Just figured I would keep a tally of letters so we know what we have and what we need.

Do I get double letter/word score (or even triple letter/word score
) if my "Z" brewery product is >15% ABV?

H and V have been spoken for OY. Breweries have not been names, but it is possible that the poster just opened up the fridge and picked the first two cans / bottles they found.

Only if you're able to provide a rational and coherent review immediately after consumption*.
