South Shoto Group Camping--Part One

Returned from a six day camping trip. Our South Shoto Group has been camping together every July for quite a few years. It consists of 6 members, myself (lucky 13 aka don) my wife (Mary) sister Anne and her hubby Dick plus our friends Bill and Joan. We arrived at the park Wed. afternoon about 2:30 pm, sis Anne and hubby were already set up and enjoying a beverage. We got our site set up and then joined them for some hearty chatter and of course a cool beverage. Our friends were to join us the next day. We enjoyed a meal around the fire pit and sat around the campfire until it was time to hit the sack (sleep). It would be a very busy day tomorrow as Bill W. and I prepare to taste many varied beers. I have a few beers from overseas (The Netherlands, Beligium and Germany) and Bill picked up the USA brews. The girls often join in for a quick taste if we give the beers a high number. Sometimes their opinion varies from Bill and mine expert opinions. B-I-L Dick just enjoys his Miller Lite and offers a few comments but does not partake of the taste tests. The gals opinions are not taken as official as Bill and I are the official group tasters. More to follow. Please remember that no notes were taken so this is all from memory. Pictures of the brews will follow in future posts as well as a beer label collage that Bill and Joans granddaughter made for her brothers dorm room at college. We had a surprise winner this year.
