Win two tix to this weekend's Winter Beer Festival

CP food events guress Erin Mae Szrankowski previewed this weekend's Winter Beer Festival in her upcoming What's Cooking column, which'll go live here on citypaper.net shortly:

'Tis the season to start getting into holiday beers, and the Winter Beer Fest is the perfect opportunity to find your favorite. Head down to the Navy Yard to grab winter beer samples from about 50 breweries, including Clipper City Brewing Co., Wild Goose Brewery, Breckenridge Brewery and Dark Horse Brewing Co., along with local faves like Dock Street and Flying Fish. Elsewhere, there'll be cooking demos from Robert Legget of Cuba Libre and Jeremy Nolen of Brauhaus Schmitz, a history presentation from local beer historian Rich Wagner, home-brewing classes and more. There are three sessions on both days of the fest, with various entry prices; tix available online. Navy Yard, 5100 S. Broad St., winterbeerfest.com.

Meal Ticket has two passes to Session 1 of the Fest, which is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 14. We exhausted our trivia brains earlier today with that Naked Pint quiz, so we're gonna make this one nice and simple � send ONE SENTENCE to drew.lazor@citypaper.net convincing us why you deserve the pair. (You can also leave it in the comments � just make sure you input your real e-mail address.) We'll choose the best and post it here. Happy sentencing!

I hope these will be served inside by a nice warm fire in a big wooden lodge. I can't stand warm beer and I can't stand cold beer on a cold day outside.

I have a sake bomb hangover at work and apparently that's not shameful enough. I went to my first two meetings this morning with my buttons down wrong and a glob of red lip gloss on the side of my lip. Gorgeous. Professional. Make my week better :) I promise my fly will be zipped and my pretzel necklace will be on.

Quite simply, because I love beer!

Because I will be the only sober one, my guest will be the discriminating critic, and I'll be able to take EVERYthing in (including tales of idiocy that I will be writing about for the next 3 decades) and blog about it... excelsior!

If running naked through the woo-ids drinking strange fermented fluids was good enough for ancient druids it's good enough for me.

Because, as Tom Waits said, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
