Another full week of Olympics is before us with our hopes high for our favorite athletes as they continue to compete for Olympic Gold. This winter our favorite is undoubtedly the sport of curling. Each day, we stand transfixed intent upon those 'bulls eyes'  on the flat screen.  With orgins in the 16th century when there wasn't much to do in the winter except shiver, curling is probably so fascinating because it is so foreign. We spent a good part of the first week trying to figure out the rules, but it is truly the intensity of the players that is riveting. And how is that possible with a group of men and women equipped with a rock with a handle and a set of brooms?  A curious note we've gleaned in our fact finding is that there is more beer consumed during curling matches than during any other Olympic sport. We invite you to join us in front of the big screen and further the winter beer tradition in the appreciation of this ancient and thoroughly civilized sport.
