| ----------------------- July Meeting - Vive la France ! July 14 may be the date of our next meeting but in France it marks Bastille Day, a national holiday. On that day in 1789 an outraged group of French citizens stormed the Bastille, a fortress and prison in Paris. To them, the Bastille stood as a symbol of the hypocrisy and corruption of the aristocratic government controlled mostly by nobility and clergy. Bastille Day is remembered as the start of the revolution that eventually toppled King Louis XVI and the aristocracy. The lasting significance of the event was in its recognition that power could and should be held by ordinary citizens, not the king or other royalty. While France celebrates its holiday ("La Fête Nationale" -The National Celebration), with a grand military parade up the Champs Elysées, colorful arts festivals, and numerous parties everywhere, the DB15 will join in with a tasting of some of the finest French and French related beers available. IThese beers and MORE will be tasted Castelaine Biere du Garde, Belzebuth, Fischer Amber Biere, Kronenbourg 1664, Gavroche French Red Ale, Sainte Sylvestre 3 Monts, Lost Abbey Avant Garde French Farmhouse, La Choulette Sans Culottes, La Choulette Anbree,Pietra Colomba, Jenlain) Get ready to wave the French Tricolour, sing La Marseillaise, and above all, sample an abundance of great beer! We guarantee this will be the largest and best DB 15 Bastille Day celebration ever! Don't miss it.
