Yes that is how I perceived how it worked.

OOHH John they all know you have a huge crush on me.John Sand wrote:I nominate BrewBirds!
I know nominations aren't open yet. But in the spirit of modern politics and future world Brewer of the Month awards, I'm standing by my choice.
I am, however going to try and start a grassroots organization to bring back our perennial second place favorite WingsFanInKC and see if we can get the man back into our foal.
Come back Wings we miss you.

Somebody would get BOTM and just disappear.
I think that was often because the BOTM had "outgrown" Mr Beer brewing and was just hanging out for old times sake. That didn't seem to be the case at MBF and I think it's unlikely to be the case here since so many have moved on from kit brewing (even though it's our introduction).
Ok I guess having to ask chat room abbreviations is the first sign of getting old...So what does SI mean???
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
Edgar Allan Poe

Sports Illustrated. Old people remember a time when we didn't get web pages, but got stuff printed on paper instead. When it was printed on glossy paper, it was called a magazine. Sports Illustrated was one of these.jimjohson wrote:bpgreen wrote:As an aside, at the "official" Mr Beer forum, it seemed like the BOTM was often sort of a SI cover type of thing.

And just to expand on the SI cover thing a bit (which most of you may already know). It was considered a curse by some to make the cover, especially before a big game. I don't have any stats to back it up, but it sure seemed like teams would lose more often than not after they made the cover...
Fermenting: Bucket 1 - Fresh Squeezed IPA; Bucket 2 - Empty
Kegged: Keg 1 - Irish Red; Keg 2 - Cream Ale; Keg 3 - Amber Ale; Keg 4 - APA; Keg 5 - Empty; Keg 6 - Empty; Keg 7 - Empty
The reason why the above list is so small Home Theater Build
