The Fall Classic was decided in six games, but two debates still rage on. Should players protect their glazzies during Champagne celebrations, and what is the best Champagne to soak your teammates with?
I’ll not wade into the fan side of the goggles debate. It’s a sticky subject that has a lot to do with tradition and general manliness I guess. The medical part, however, should be considered.

Two dark horse candidates medaled at this year’s Great American Beer Festival. Milwaukee’s Best (some know it as The Beast) took gold in the American Style Cream Ale or Lager category. It beat out 23 other entries (mostly from craft breweries) on its way to the podium. Olde English 800 took silver in the International Style Pilsener category. It bested 11 other entrants.

At the last minute Mutineer became aware that Wine 2.0 and Vator.tv were holding a business plan competition and decided to join in the fray. In an adrenaline fueled rush we were able to gather our forces and attain a second place finish in only a few days of competing. This competition was to win a one-hour session with the judges to pitch our business plan and attain additional funding for our company. Last year’s winner Crushpad attained 9 million dollars and was the host of this year’s event. Smoke Wallin Chairman of Wine 2.0 referred to Mutineer as, “the dark horse of the competition” and was astounded at our rocket to second place. We congratulate Curiosk Marketing on their win and hope them the best of fortune.
