| Next Meeting July 15 World Cup Beer Shootout What do the countries France, England, Croatia, and Belgium have in common? All are semi-finalists in the planet's largest sporting event, the FIFA World Cup. Also, they all make beer! Since the championship game of the tournament will be played on the same day of our meeting (June 15) the DB15 will match the final two nations - France and Croatia in a blind tasting of their very best beers. Will our results match the one on the pitch? Does greatness in soccer equal greatness in the brewery? Your vote decides it all. Don't miss this beer shootout.. All are encouraged to wear a jersey from one of the competing nations. Join the excitement! At the Gaslight, Sunday, July 15 at 4 PM You do not need to know anything about soccer (a/k/a football) to attend. Just like beer. We hope to have an array of beers rarely seen in the area. Don't miss it! ================ The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. After this, 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month. The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games; the cumulative audience of all matches of the last World Cup was estimated to be 27 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet! This Championship Trophy is not awarded to the winning nation permanently. World Cup winners retain the trophy only until the post-match celebration is finished. They are awarded a gold-plated replica rather than the solid gold original immediately afterwards. The winner of our beer shootout however will get to keep the first ever DB 15 Award Certificate fully adorned with sold gold color courtesy of Crayola Crayons. ------------------- Congratulations to Gaslight on the 20th Anniversary!!
