About the 30DayBeerChallenge

The idea for the 30DayBeerChallenge came up when I was talking to a good friend of mine who owns a store in downtown Mount Vernon.  I told her that you could have a different beer downtown everyday for 30 days and not have the same beer twice.  I'm sure she believed me, (she's my friend) but I thought to myself, "Self, wouldn't that be an interesting thing to prove?"

Downtown Mount Vernon is a unique and beautiful little place.  One thing we seem to have is an abundance of pubs that specialize in unique and beautiful craft brews.  The pubs themselves are within walking distance of each other and they provide many people with a cozy sense of community.  We turn strangers into friends there, expand our horizons and unwind after long days.

The rest of our downtown is in flux and growing.  I will admit that the Challenge also became about increasing the awareness of the area so that we could funnel our support to our local merchants!  They all work very hard and some of them make less than $100 a day.

Our next 30daybeerchallenge is swiftly approaching on Thursday, March 1, 2012!  With everyone's help we can make this year's 30dbc an exceptionally great one with many beer-y returns.

Cheers!
