A Journey of a Thousand Beers...

A few posts ago I wrote about “quests.”

Ever since then, the word “quest” seems to be popping up more often – I guess I’ve gotten in sync with the same wavelength of quests.

So, it was no surprise when I came across the following site this morning for “The Quest of the Holy Grain”: http://www.beerquest1k.com/

Your quest today should be to check this out. Their Mission Statement reads:

Our mission is to enrich our lives with meaning through the pursuit of the Holy Grain. A man who drinks 1,000 different beers is a man of accomplishment. The Quest gives meaning and direction to even the most worthless life. To be a Questor, you are no longer a man with a drinking problem, you are a man with a purpose.

Here is what you have to do (according to the Quest Code of Conduct):

• To enter the ranks of the Grainy Order of Questors you must begin in the attempt to drink 1,000 different beers in your lifetime or sooner.
• You must document your Quest.
• A beer is considered a full serving, not a taste or a sampling. Normally, 12 fluid ounces shall be the minimum requirement for conquering a beer.

According to the web site, there are 8 Living “Questors.” You can find them under the heading of “Questor Files.” Scroll down to the bottom and meet Walter the First.
