World Cup

Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow marks the beginning of the best sporting event in the world, as a result, much of the communications coming from Payette Brewing Company will be soccer related.  Brewery news will continue to be posted at the current rate of slow to quite slow.

In a full disclosure brewery note: Depending on how you look at it, the World Cup starting means I fell short of my goal for PBC I wrote down three years ago.  My goal was that I wanted to be able to watch the 2010 World Cup at Payette Brewing Company.  Technically I could watch TV at Payette Brewing Company, but the brewery is not finished, so that is up for interpretation.  Either way I am pretty proud of myself for being anywhere near my goal based on an arbitrary date I wrote down over 3 years ago.

I am going to do some previews for the USA games, because those are all that really matter.  I will be watching as much as possible (my flexible employment is great for that) and there are some great matches people should watch, but I'm an American, so that is all that matters.

A note on my analysis/previews: if you want "professional" analysis, go to espn.com, stay here if you want thoughts from a washed-up soccer player/beer drinker/red-blooded American.

Coming tomorrow...USA vs England preview, including beer recommendations, predictions and first-rate analysis

  1. Is it too late to set up a Payette Brewing World Cup bracket pick? If so, maybe set up up after group play is over? I'm happy to see that Kane is currently dominating the mullet poll...especially because Jared technically cut his for the wedding last week!

  2. Kane's Mullet is a force, but the blog readership is obviously down based on the low vote tally, they don't know what they are missing.

    I'll try to set something up for after group play, if ESPN.com does that for the knockout rounds, put some beer up for the winner?
