Season ticket pickup at World of Beer, Spanish Springs, and a vote on what we would be drinking all summer.
Everybody who had pre-purchased a season ticket package collected it that evening. Anybody who had not could buy one on the spot. All ages, everybody invited.
There were games. There were giveaways. World of Beer put on a ten-dollar deal — five for food and five for a flight — or a hot dog or burger with fries for five.
And the flight had a purpose.
We asked our supporters to pick the team beer.
They sampled, they deliberated, and they voted.
The winner: Sea Dog Blueberry.
We played a lot of games and spent the evening talking with season ticket holders — the people who had already committed to a summer of this before a ball had been kicked.
Great time.
This is the third thing in two years that our supporters have chosen for this club. They picked the first uniform at the 2016 BBQ Bash, by 229 votes to 146. They named the mascot in 2017 — Kicks, by nineteen votes over Tonka.
And now the beer.
We are not sure any of the three decisions would have gone better if we had made them ourselves.
