Bob's Beer

Last night was an eventful one for beer drinkers in Seattle. You see, May 14th is the release date of Georgetown's Bob's Brown Ale and my friend Chris and I were at the official kickoff at the Nickerson Street Saloon. In attendance were Manny and Roger from Georgetown who brought three kegs of delicious brown goodness. The first two pints poured went straight from the taps to my and Chris' hands. In case you don't know the story of Bob's, here it is, straight from the Georgetown Brewing website:

"Bob's is a special beer brewed in honor of our friend, Bob Hirsch, who fought cancer valiantly for many years. He lived his final days to the fullest and he is an inspiration to all of us.
Bob's Brown Ale will be released every May 14th (Bob's birthday). 100% of the proceeds from Bob's will be donated in honor of Charles "Bob" Hirsch to the Seattle Ronald McDonald House to provide a "home-away-from-home" for Children's Hospital patients and families.
Bob's Brown Ale is big and brown with lots of hops. We use a blend of 2-row Pale, Caramel, Chocolate, Munich, and Roasted Barley Malts, then add sh*t loads of Centennial and Crystal hops to make this a meaty brown brew. Alcohol by volume is 6.3%."

The Nickerson was donating all proceeds from sales of Bob's to the Ronald McDonald House, so as if you didn't feel good enough about drinking already, you could feel just a little bit better.
