At a recent visit to Gomer's Midtown over the lunch hour, I ran into someone else who was shopping for beer. What are the chances? When I spoke to her, she was said she was with the St. Agnes Parish school and was putting together a beer basket as an auction item for their annual school auction fund raiser. When I asked her what she was looking for, she said limited release or seasonal Boulevard Smokestack beers.
At that point she had only procured a BBQ, an Imperial Stout, and a Crown Town from Gomer. I knew I had a few in my cellar that were no longer available and would be great additions to the auction basket. On behalf of the Ace Beer Club, I donated a Sporting KC Championship Ale, a Collaboration #4 Saison, and a Silver Anniversary Ale.
She was thrilled that she ran into me that day and very grateful for the donation. She thought it was divine intervention, I think it was just A Hoppy Accident.
