[PRIME] SchlitzKrieg Curated Seattle Beer Tour - Got Photos?

Barring that, free beer would work great.

i was going to suggest something like that, but backpedaled when i realized that you'd basically need somebody to be "Achievement Master" to keep track of all the points, for 30 (is that how many? i can't remember), if you wanted to do it fair/right.
or, you take that responsibility upon yourself, but it sounds like shit is already gonna be pretty crazy for you!
most of all, most of all

bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
I think Beer is a great prize, but what about people who are flying home? Any significant amount of beer will be hard to pack. What about a lighter, beer-themed prize bag for everyone who has all 12 points at the end? Instead of beer (heavy, breakable), it could be a surprise grab bag. If you guys trusted my ability to put together an awesome prize bag, that is...
Another idea: what about a stop-by-stop prize? Like, everyone who gets on in time gets a coaster from the brewery we just left. At the end of the tour, you have up to 12 coasters: a full set. Just a random idea for the coaster itself, but what about the concept of stop-by-stop prizes that are memorabilia?
It's certainly cheaper to just kick all the late people in the ass, but that's a lot less fun.
EDIT: Ooh! What about a SchlitzKrieg Tshirt for everyone who makes it to the end with full points? Showing all the stops on the back, like a tour shirt.

I'd go for an "I survived SchlitzKrieg" t-shirt.
Schlitzkrieg shirt.
It must have a rolling column of tanks made out of giant beer bottles shooting beer foam at people and lightning coming down from the heavens.

Achievement ideas:
-Made it on the bus on time for all stops (this would be the awesomest prize, to keep people motivated to stay on schedule)
-Got a taster flight at all stops
-Got a pint at all stops
-Bought 6 pieces of brewery swag
-Led a singsong on the bus
-Photo with a brewer
-Others...?
Great idea about teams too! Thinking of how to work in the specifics...
@courtneyj - thanks, we just might!

I definitely like the idea of making teams. Perhaps we could think of ways that people could work together to earn additional points, which would be more involving and make it even more significant when you lose points for tardiness?
Maybe we can make up scorecards to keep track of all this.
Of course, points off for being late.
Another penalty will be imposed for that greatest of sins: spilling beer. D:
Points for the first group to get random people/brewers to join in drunken singing!
I'm sure more ideas could be come up with, but I think I need some liquid inspiration. ah! Research mission to my local bar when I get home!!!
Drank full glass of water at each stop. (To encourage proper hydration and avoid hang overs.)
<Edit: Fixing spelling in the image>
I like it. We'd need to add an achievement for taking a leak (or two) at each stop too.

Eh, you don't need THAT much water just for a pint at each stop. One every few stops will keep you going fine.

OMG THAT'S HILARIOUS!!! I have a friend who's a graphic designer who did the SchlitzKrieg buttons that everyone is getting. I'll see if I can strongarm her into doing us a shirt with something like that design. If not.... we'll have to find someone else to do it. @courtneyj - are you a GD?
EDIT - wait, @squirrelonfire - please clarify if you're offering to do the final design, or just making design suggestions?

Uhh, if you want something that is significantly more refined, I could go pixel-y, but wouldn't know what else to do with it to make it look better, but still easily shirt-printed (limited color palette & very limited skill). Certainly not opposed to someone else running with the idea, or I could make 'em pixelized with basically this design (maybe add a little curling smoke & trailing foam).
I have ze photoshops at home and don't entirely suck at graphic design so I'll see if I can get something together when I get home in a week.

Erg, right, sorry I wasn't clear, that was an achievement suggestion, not simple advice. The idea is to make it a) easier to track (as opposed to "drink a glass of water at half the stops".) and b) harder to accomplish (I'd imagine that for people going over 1pt/stop this may get hard to remember
Personally too, I like to try to drink about 1 glass/beer I have. Since my beer is usually accompanied by salty food at least.

I have to say though, I am rather partial to a lobby of foamy beers as artillery shells.

If so (or heck, even if not) any Seattle area people interested in going to Kingston next weekend (June 23 or 24) and scoping out places to eat, drink, and play some games while we wait for a ferry? I'd be happy to drive a group of up to 5 (if you are willing to squeeze into the back of my delightfully compact car) including me to the ferry terminal and lead a beery expedition across the wild waters of Puget Sound.
I would love to go out on the 23rd!
I live on this side of the water and will be going for the Kitsap county portion in my own vehicle. If you want to meet up I can play tour guide next Saturday...

We won't be stuck in Kingston, but scouting missions are strongly encouraged anyway because hey - it's beer!
I can even give you guys a task if you want to: we need to see if the new route from the Silver City Brewery to the Bremerton Ferry Terminal will accomodate a school bus; if there are any crazy streets or too-tight-turns that the bus couldn't make. Let me know if anybody wants to check it out!
And if you're up there you should think about checked out a couple of the breweries on the tour. Slippery Pig has an amazing Flemish Sour on tap right now, and Sound Brewery's Monk's Indescretion is worth the trip alone.

I'm not surprised actually. First off Seattle's that kinda town. Secondly I've noticed that brewing tends to attact the creative/science mix of people. 'Round these parts we have a lot of engineers or former scientists turned brewer (We have at least 2 defense firms I can think of right off the bat, one Boeing, and many universities.) So take the "Seattle" part, mix with the "commonly attracted to beer" party and Viola!

There's actually a very specific scenic route that needs to be scouted for the leg between the Bremerton Silver City Brewery and the Ferry Terminal. I know the area pretty well but haven't driven this exact route with an eye toward how to get a bus through. Send me a PM if you're interested in checking it out and I'll send you the directions.
EDIT: I did just walk though it using the Google Maps street view and it looks okay, but it'd still be nice if someone drove it to be sure. Note that it's between the actual brewery location on Auto Center Way (not the restaurant at the Mall), down past the shipyards and accessing Burwell from the South.

Hey, looks like this weekend won't work out for me - maybe sometime in July?
Thanks for the offer of tour-guiding though!
