Beer of the Month Clubs
Beer of the Month Clubs are numerous throughout the country. These include are men with some women who meet once a month at one of the member’s homes. Each month a new beer is chosen as the beverage of choice for the party. In winter football is watched and in the spring and summer the sport of choice is baseball. During the 2 plus month gap between football and baseball season, improvisation is required with hockey and basketball as the interim sport.
Each month a different nation is represented, other than the United States, since their beers are well-known. Besides, Budweiser in not American any longer. Twelve nations need to be found and in most cases they are covered over the twelve months.
For example January could be Holland month with Heineken as the brew of choice. Beck’s will be February’s beer giving Germany its time in the sun. March will have Ireland represented with Harp Beer. April and the baseball season comes in with LaBatt of Canada in the lead. May arrives with Red Stripe of Jamaica as the choice of brews. June and the summer come in with Dos Equis of Mexico.
July and the hot weather brings on Bavaria of Costa Rica, and August displays San Miguel from the Philippines. September and the coming World Series are welcomed with El Presidente from the Dominican Republic. October is represented by Pilsner Urquell of the Czech Republic, November by Cristal of Peru and December by Kirin of Japan.
It seems to make watching sports more interesting while educating the fans about geography. This reminds some of President Obama’s Beer Summit. Then too, the nationalities of the beers were discussed.
