OLD STYLE BEER STEINS. COFFEE CUP RECYCLING Old Style Beer Steins
Randy's Garage Bar & Beer Collection It all started 20-30 years ago when my father began collection beer cans as a teenager. That quickly grew into signs, posters, lights, and other random beer related objects. Once he had my brother and I it came to a halt and everything was packed away into boxes in our crawlspace for the next 20 years. After quickly filling up one side of the garage with bottles from his mission to taste many different beers, he set out to transform our normal 2 car garage into a beer lovers dream world. The left wall is consumed with close to 500 different bottles of beer, not one bottle goes on the wall unless he's drank it! The rafters of the garage are filled with cans dating back 20 and 30 years... some even more. Mounted to those same rafters are two 22" flat screen TVs. The right side wall is covered partially with beer steins, glasses, shot glasses, and some very special bottles of beer including a "Thank you for your support" bottle from Budweiser that only distributors received and a Batch19 bottle that was used as promotion but never bottled since. The rest of the right wall and part of the rear wall contain beer signs that date back 20+ years. The remaining portion of the rear wall contains a "BEER ONLY" fridge and a tool bench that doubles as a bar, complete with bar stools. You'll also notice along the wall two bar style high tables and chairs. The collection continues to grow every day as he finds beers he's never tried before, signs he's never seen before, or things that just catch his eye. If you have any suggestions on what beer to try, would like to donate something to the Garage Bar, or would simply like to show some love, please leave it in the comments below or message me. Birthday celebrations at Hofbrauhaus.
We went to Hofbrauhaus on Friday night to celebrate the birthdays of Alexis Yakemo and Elisa Becze - I've never been to this place before and was enchanted by its resemblance to an old-fashioned beer hall, complete with long tables and benches, big steins of beer, and a live band playing grandpa-style polka music. There was much revelry and good will. And "shot skis." Awesome. PS - I'm interested in feedback on whether or not I sucked the fun out of these photos by making so many of them sepia-toned. I think it enhances the "hobbit mead hall" feeling that I got from the place, but I dunno if that translates. :] 1 cup 1 coffee work folder how to make the best cup of coffee at home engraved mug name on mug mclaggan smith mugs brass knuckle mug custom glass mugs stainless insulated mug |
