We shall see, eh? Some brewers guard their secrets carefully, so I may well be full of shit... or a good guesser... 2. Dave - with regards to peacocks, I was thinking of peacocks with feathers up and in full "bloom" or whatever they might term it. So two deer and one peacock isn't too bad, my friend... 3. Hrrm. Would Zommerfest be good with Ardennes yeast and lemongrass? If it's good, we'd find a prize for you. I liked the Lemongrass Wheat at Bandana, in any case. 4. More importantly, what does it take to light up the Grain Belt sign in Minneapolis? I drove by on Saturday night and it just didn't seem right for it to be sitting there in the dark. 5. Hah. Only if the limo is a compact Saturn... Of course I know better than to go commando, too, so let's stick to the first part of your prediction... Oh yes, part II of the Town Hall prediction involves Dave Hoops coming down to brew a couple of batches with Mike at Town Hall. People are surprised when their coffee is replaced with Folgers crystals... er, um... when they find El Nino on the cask list in place of Masala Mama one afternoon. Thankfully, chaos does not ensue and this inspires a rash of "guest brews" around breweries and brewpubs in Minnesota. Brewers in other states follow suit and Adam and Tim write into the Brewing Network to rub it in... 1. We shall see, eh?

OK, here's my prediction: Minnesota Breweries continue to make kick-ass beer, and the locals finally realize it. Everyone quits worrying about which beers they can't get in the state, and revel in what they have. Bars actually start putting local beers on tap. A good bar is measured not by how many beers they have on tap, but on how many Minnesota beers from different breweries they have on tap. At the ABR, local brewers have to hire people to pour beer because they're too busy signing autographs. Constantly hounded by the beer paparazzi, Ryan invests in a variety of hats and sunglasses. Unfortunately, a picture of Ryan appears on the internet getting out of a limo at Town Hall sans underwear. Man, now I’m getting a Mohawk too?

Screw printing the facts! Stick to solid theory and speculation and you'll go far brother. Oh and I'm going with the Ardennes yeast w/ the Schell's Sommerfest will win the prize. How about this prediction: Schell's decides to use all of their corn for ethanol production and goes strict Reinheitsgebot with all their beers, sweeping all lager categories at the GABF. Dave Berg shaves his head into a mohawk while wearing all of his newly acquired medals screaming into cold MN air "I'm the Pro-brewin' Mr. T!!" Thatta boy Ryan! Screw printing the facts!

Couldn't you at least given me a chance by saying 1 deer and 2 peacocks. Or maybe 3 peacocks? I mean, if you're making stuff up, you could have just as well said I wasn't going to hit the pavement all year in 2007! Well, if one is true, and it may be about me, I better start building a ramp.
