South Shore Rode's Scolar Stout

Friday my beloved Pittsburgh Penguins and our rivals from across state, the Philadelphia Flyers play the first game of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals. Bryan who runs the website www.brewlounge.com is from Philadelphia and has Challenged CBR to a friendly intercity wager. A wager which benifits the CBR and Brew Lounge Listeners/Readers.

We put the word out for brewers, owners, reps, and writers to chip in to a pot of goodies to be raffled off to CBR listeners or TBL readers. The pledges have already begun to stream in. If you're beerfolk and got my e-mail but haven't replied yet, get on it! If you don't know what I'm talking about, perhaps I don't have your e-mail address. Either way, drop a note to me at jeff@craftbeerradio.com.

The first game is this coming Friday the 9th in Pittsburgh. Later this week, Jeff and I will announce what has been pledged by the beer folks in Philly and da Burgh. After the series is over, the winning website will conduct a raffle/drawing/or whatever better approach we come up with to determine which reader/listener will walk away with the bounty.

Our next state spotlight takes us to Michigan thanks to listener Daniel. Since it was a lovely spring day in Western Pennsylvania we decided to move the studio outside. This was a bad idea because there was a gremlin in the machine that ruined the audio. We were able to salvage the show with some fancy audio filtering but now it sounds like we were in a large sewer tube instead of outside in the open air. Oh, The beers, FAN-TAS-TIC!
