"At 2pm, we thought we’d leave by 7. We had stuff to do. At 10pm, I was eating pizza and passing a blunt."

Beerluck.
It was about buds, suds, and sun. It was about rambles, scrambles, and hurls. It put the “ay!” in “yay!”. The “beer” in “beerrito”, and the “hi, ari” in “hilarious”.
It cheers, it jeers, and now, by decision of the New York Beerluck Association (NBA), it adjudicates.
In recognition of the past 2 beerlucks, we are proud to distribute the following BeerAwards.
The Blasphemous Brewski – Given to the participant whose entry sucks the most balls
5/18 – Beer: Red Stripe Winnerees: Che & Ravi Prize: Nothing. Not even a shot of mystery juice. Why? Because Beerluck Co-Final Arbiter Guy Hayes put the beer up to popular vote, and it passed. Beerluck Co-Final Arbiter Guy Ari was angry and the superdelegate debate ensued (and continues below).
2/22 – Beer: Michelob Ultra. Winnerees: Allah Palovigor and German Guy Prize: 56K Fax Modem and banishment from all future beerlucks.
Brew de Force – Awarded to the participant who supplies the tastiest libation of the day
5/18 – Winning Beer: Dog Fish Head 90 Min IPA (Extra points for coming wrapped in Bud 6-pack holder). Winneree: Mike Bareket. Prize: Free tacos
2/22 – Winning Beer: Victory Something Something: Winerees: Mitch & John Prize: Not receiving a 56k fax modem.
The subject still of much debate was whether the judging should be a popular vote, or should it rest on the privileged palates of several select superdelegates. Before a pan-Beerluck constitution can be ratified, each jurisdiction will operate under its own nominating rules.
All in all, Beerluck 2.0 was declared a raging success - breaking beer quality records, defying turnout expectation, and making Saturday night partiers out of would-be Sunday casual drinkers (and not to mention the Monday morning experience of many lavatories around Manhattan.) Before long, the beer luck turned into a potluck of sorts, featuring the organic mixed-greens in a super-sized burrito.

Deepak, I'm really, really hurt that you neglected to A) remember my keg contribution to the first beer luck and B) failed to mention the bag of cheese, grapes and delicious goodies..most importantly carbs that kept your last beer luck team alive after a few had already disappeared into the mold-filled porcelain god you store in your garage.
Watch out next time.
