Our First Annual BVG Oktoberfest


Last night, at a rare Monday night BVG gathering, we celebrated our first annual BVG Oktoberfest at my house. I boiled brats in beer along with onions and garlic. The best German potato salad was made and brought by j, and Cool wowed us with her fried apples, which were made even yummier by her addition of raisins which had been soaked in some special kind of whiskey.

I was the beer virgin. The whole idea of the night was to get me from "I don't like beer!" to being willing to try several kinds with an open mind. The Coors was used for boiling the brats. We drank the good stuff. I liked Pyramid Oktoberfest the best. I would not describe myself as a true fan of beer, but I can honestly say that I found it to be "not bad." I just had to finish my night off with a glass of "Midnight" which is wine. And it was almost Midnight by the clock.

One observation: I had never seen the BVGs so mellow, to tired out, and I'm afraid it was the beer. Also, we met on a Monday instead of a Wednesday. So many yawns!!! I mentioned that our next gathering, Bring a Friend Night, is just a few weeks away, and we can't all be that drowsy and laid back when we have guests with us.

Guess we better have a coffee tasting...........
