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)

March 16, 2009 at 2:21 pmgeez matt!! I tried convince Kath that you threw the party at your house.. you had to go + ruin my plan with the pictures!!
Monique says
March 16, 2009 at 2:23 pmit 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!
sonia says
March 16, 2009 at 2:27 pmWell …When Kath is away, Matt will play…:)

March 16, 2009 at 2:47 pmBeer cricket sounds fun but I think it would result in me injuring myself badly…

Roseanna says
March 16, 2009 at 5:05 pmWow, you are too cute– if you don’t mind me saying, Kath’s a lucky girl!
K says
March 16, 2009 at 5:18 pmHaha!! The rope pictures look like fun!
Lauren says
March 16, 2009 at 5:43 pmI’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?!
Meaghen says
March 16, 2009 at 5:48 pmOooh that fondue looks delish.
I love rope swings. One of the best things about being a kid… or an adult I guess… 🙂
laci says
March 16, 2009 at 7:22 pmAW, sounds like so much fun- from the beer o the bread to the ROPE SWINGING (!!!) to the adorable little boys! 😀
Jane says

Fondue sounds amazing right now. Nothing like melted cheese with fresh bread.
