Every February the Schell Brewery located in fabulous New Ulm has a Bock Fest, seemingly to celebrate their Bock beer. This was never explicitly mentioned but given the name Bock Fest it's what I assume. I can't remember where I first heard about this, but I sure am glad that I did. I will let the pictures tell most of the story. I only have a couple here, if you want to see all of them go here. My drinking compatriots this day were Jeremy and Dustin.
There was a limit of four beers per trip, so the obvious thing to do was to buy four. They came in this handy carrying case.
Roughly 20 minutes after we got there (about 12:30) a very drunk girl asked if we would be lookout while she peed behind this metal Pepsi trailer. We told her that the port-a-poties were mere feet away but she did not care. Keep in mind it's February in Minnesota. She pressed her drunk butt against the back of the trailer and went for it. Wow.
Yep a cowboy complete with spurs.
A Deer Bong. You can just see the funnel peeking out of the top of the head.
There are no words.
There was a very nice pregnant woman who said she has been waiting for someone to post a picture of this Ben Franklin sign on the Internet.
It's February, but the gate wasn't closed in any serious way.
Although it was padlocked closed at the very top. Thwarted due to our lack of bolt cutters.So all in all this was an absolutely fantastic day. Here is a checklist of things that we learned and will implement next year.
1. Bring your own gargantuan mug to put the beer in. All of the veterans had these and we felt silly for not thinking of it.
2. Dress for the weather.
3. Get there as early as possible. The gates open at 10:45.
4. Bolt cutters.

So, is the Ben Franklin still a Ben Franklin? Or what is it?
We did not actually go inside the Zen Rfanklib but I think it was still a five and dime like store.
52oz Keg Mugs are $9.99 @ Target! Huhzah!
