Every Thurs night you could find me at a little Craft Brewery in the middle of nowhere WV. Their selection of in-house beers is amazing for such a small single site brewery. It’s normal to have 12 of their own brews on tap at any time. Mostly single, double and triple IPAs, and very highly rated.
Since the brewery is approximately an hour away on snow covered rural roads, I thought it wise to develop a driving capability test. The way I figure it, if I can’t put the puzzle back together in under a minute, maybe I should spend the night. The puzzle pieces are labeled with many of their beers and made from Maple and Cherry Proofgrade plywood.
Practice makes perfect. Shouldn’t take too much practice before it’s like your calculator - do it in the dark.
Nice having a local brewery with quality offerings. I think I would enjoy buying you a beer there.
Planned on giving them the puzzle on Thursday. They have bought a boatload of wood keychains from me in the shape of their Growlers with logos and contact info. The puzzle is just a conversation piece for the bar that no one would want to buy. Unless the brewery owners wanted to give them away to their distributors or something but I didn’t make it with the intent to sell.
Send all complaints to the owner. BTW, she is a successful blonde entrepreneur whose nickname is Spanky. Blonde is a type of Ale. And theirs is smooth or Easy. Double entendre.
I knew about the blonde ale, but the double meaning with that part of West Virginia might be better served by a different name.
I know! My mind goes to all the weird places and can see points of view that are not my style like I was looking through someone else’s eyes, and it is not always the best view.
True story. I introduced one of the most gorgeous Brazilian/French girls on the planet to my very goofy looking friend. Looked like a Preying Mantis with glasses. Couple years later I was best man at their wedding. He was easy and blonde. Brazilian girls don’t meet a lot of blonde guys.
Although I have used anodized aluminum blanks, dog tags, etc., there is really no way for me to compete with mass produced laser and engraving shops. I avoid engraving on stock blanks. Just making stuff because it interests me. Still, have sold dozens of different designs to a bunch of businesses, organizations and individuals. Make a lot of stuff from PG plywood and other wood materials. Nothing fancy but it keeps me out of the bars. Or maybe it doesn’t.
Some one just changed the tag on this post so it popped back up for me. Funny, I’m sitting at the brewery right now and played with that puzzle. Haven’t paid for a beer here for a year and a half. I laser engrave tap handles for the brewery. BTW: I only drink about 5 beers a week.
I must 'fess up, I’ve been hunting down all the jigsaw puzzle posts and tagging them ( for obvious puzzling reasons). Not only did I accidentally get a badge out of it, but also got your follow up response
