Just to correct you a bit, this is known as the "Keene" tasting, as in David Keene of the Toronado. Vern and Bonney discovered this style of tasting in the back room after the Barley Wine Fest, hence the name. I do believe this kind of tasting was originated by the famous Dr. Bill.

Me, I showed up around beer 45 and left at 65 or so. A few years ago I would have been heartbroken at the great beer I might have missed, but these days, I just let that go. I'm more delighted by the great beer I actually got to try. Fun party, though. Kids, don't try it at home.

Several of the Philly folk had been sick earlier in the week (we got in on Wednesday) so it sounds like you picked up something from them. Those folks are so great about sharing ;-) Sounds a whole lot like Ray’s current condition.

Actually I'm still under the weather, even this morning. I had chills again yesterday afternoon and hot flashes again overnight and today. And every time I cough it feels like someone's shoving a jackboot hard into my chest, and I'm not even sure what a jackboot it. I suppose that means whatever I got wasn't all about the beer, but that's slim consolation as I enter day four of feeling feverish. I think at this point I'd prefer the embarrassment of a one-day hangover and good health. Thanks Cornelia. Actually I’m still under the weather, even this morning.

You may have acquired something due to a "Philly Beer Weakened" condition. Ray & I had to leave Philly for the drive home a day early because Ray came down with something that sounds a lot like what happened to you. Sorry we missed you in Philly.
