THING BEER? Rocky Mountain High?

Back in 1992 the Volkswagen Thing Association had their annual bash out in Colorado Springs. To be creative they had a local brewery knock out a brew and supplied appropriate labels. Was anybody else on this site there ? Enjoy the pic.

We were there. I still have five bottles left.
I bought a case, but haven't been able to drink it all yet.
That was our first "Thing Thing".

I am the founder of the newly formed RoMTOC

WE will hold our first treffen March 22 and OUr big show and RoMTOC Kubelfest 2003 will be held the first weekend in August.

The beer this year will be supreme German style brew. Savory. Old man Kelly (brewer of the Thing Fling beer) had now passed on and his brewery is still in operation but the microbrewery craze has ended the local cheap is better than high end concept . We will have 6 different varieties of ale available. All with collectable RoMTOC Kubelfest 2003 labels. Not for profit just for fun and the love of the Thing. K-mann
