Last night’s party was a lot of fun. It’s the first time since I’ve worked at Great Harvest that we’ve been able to get a lot of people together for a big event, and I think everyone really enjoyed it.
A big thanks to Tara and Chris for hosting the party – her house is cozy and cute so I hope we didn’t destroy it too much! A few of us went over early to play a drinking game that’s new to me called Beer Cricket. You can see a summary of how to play and more pictures over at Brew and Bake!
Of course, playing a game like this requires a fair amount of beer. We got a pony keg of Magic Hat #9, and man did it taste great.
Conor got the lucky first glass – a big pile of foam:
Just beautiful.
There was also a rope swing for goofing off:
We had a nice fondue spread later on, with big hunks of GH bread.
Guitar hero was heavily featured… gotta say, I like Wii Sports waaaaaay better.
Kruti brought her cute sons Ruchir and Utkursh, who are frequent topics of conversation when we’re working, so it was fun to meet them.
We also tasted a few homebrews:
A huge thanks to Jeff and Janet (the owners) for buying the keg! (Also for employing us)

geez matt!! I tried convince Kath that you threw the party at your house.. you had to go + ruin my plan with the pictures!!
it seems very appropriate that you wear the Field Day shirt while Kath is away. Are you indeed having a field day while the wife is away? LOL
Loved the bear pics from the earlier posts… those make me giggle!
Well …When Kath is away, Matt will play…:)
Looks like you had a blast. Wish we had a Great Harvest store around here.
Matt, looks like you had yet another fun time without Kath… I am sensing a pattern… haha kidding
zest!
Beer cricket sounds fun but I think it would result in me injuring myself badly…
Beer crickets looks fun! How well do you think Kath would do? ; )
while kath’s away, the husband (er, Matt) will play
Mmm that bread must have been awesome for fondue!
Wow, Matt, you consume a healthy amount of beer, I see. My husband would really get along with you
sounds like a fun work party!
great pics! kruti’s sons are so adorable!
hahahaha, i love it, matt. you guys are awesome! it’s so fun to get the moment-by-moment contrast between what you are doing and what kath is doing!
looks like a super fun time! i want a rope swing.
Wow, you are too cute– if you don’t mind me saying, Kath’s a lucky girl!
Haha!! The rope pictures look like fun!
I’m always interested in a new beer game (especially if it involves Magic Hat #9)! Love the rope swing pics.
Fonduuuueee I love you! I could eat melty cheese all.day.long.
Guitar hero wore out its welcome at our place, and Wii has definitely taken over. My fiance is a little too good at mariokart! We don’t play the Wii sports games often enough – maybe tonight?!
Oooh that fondue looks delish.
I love rope swings. One of the best things about being a kid… or an adult I guess…
AW, sounds like so much fun- from the beer o the bread to the ROPE SWINGING (!!!) to the adorable little boys!
Cute post.
You and Kath are the perfect example of how opposites attract!
I love the bare feet outside! haha. you’re clearly having a good time!
diana
mmm.. magic hat #9 and fondue and bread! If you ever go to burlington, vt you must check out the factory and also the great harvest that’s up there!
Wow what a group of people. Look at you! I am sure you are really excited to be apart of such a great group of people. Have fun tomorrow I cant wait to see the pictures!
Oh Matt
Your day looked like a blast!!!! Having a good time in the nice weather!!!

hey Matt- your shirt is PERF. for the event! Glad U had fun!
So funny that you are in bare feet in all the pics. It must have been warm out!!
The bears were hilarious!!
When the “Kath’s” away…
Fondue sounds amazing right now. Nothing like melted cheese with fresh bread.
