At Long Last, 101 Libations is Complete

10 August 2009 3 Comments

After 3 weeks of working on it whenever I could find the time, the writeups of all 5 segments of our July 2009 barhopping trip through Nebraska are finally complete. They are now indexed at another of my sites, 101Libations.leapbeer.com.

We  visited 101 bars over about a 101 hour period.  Our biggest day was Saturday with 28 bars, our lightest was Thursday with 21.   Our most expensive beer by volume was in Fremont, NE  at Franky & Oly’s, our least expensive was just over an hour earlier at Tiny’s Bar in Schuyler, NE.   Our drunkest feeling night was Wednesday night in Lincoln, our soberest feeling night was Thursday night in Grand Island.   And we drove on more dirt roads in those 4+ days than I’ve ever driven on in my life.

    Scoot, I really enjoyed reading your Midwestern bar tour. Being a Nebraska boy, I fondly recall more than a few of the watering holes you toured! Keep up the good work.

    Very cool story! I am very familiar with a lot of the bars you stopped at. I live in North Bend, went to college in Lincoln and I have a business in Fremont that takes me Omaha quite a bit.
    What surprised me the most was how you were able to correctly summarize the bars you visited with such a short stay. Well Done!!
    I’ve had the opportunity to do some traveling around the world but there can be times those trips take a back seat to a well planned bar crawl with a group of friends in a renovated school bus with a DD at the wheel and cooler in back.
