Cultural Outing Attempt 27

This past Sunday, Commander Cardy did a little reconnaissance work for us and scouted out the Wu Rih (烏日) beer factory - there was a time when I would've said brewery, but that was when my English skills were substantially better than my students. Anyway, I very like the sound of beer factory. I have tried for some time to organize a venture out to one of the TTL beer factories, but the previous night's beer drinking always quashed whatever desire we had to get up and drive 20 minutes in the heat with a hangover.

This time will be different. We will go. And, we will meet at 10:30 on Soho Street, Sunday morning (the 6th). We will drive for a quick 20 minutes protected from the heat by the haze that has yet to burn off. Upon arrival we will marvel at the beer-keg fountain. We will then proceed inside where we will enjoy cold, unpasteurized $50NT beer while sitting upon beer-keg stools. The Commander informed me that there was not much else to do so I am proposing that we add another leg to our schedule. The Taichung Beer Factory is only a beer-can's throw away in the Industrial Park. Situated in the midst of several acres of primeval concrete is an alcohol-dedicated oasis serving up not only what the TTL refers to as "liquid bread," but also all kinds of spirits, "wine," UNCHOLE (no relation) Monascus (red yeast rice) and of course, there's the Alcohol Cultural Pavilion. So, do your drinking early Saturday and get you prepared to drink beer all day in the 100 degree heat. Go ahead and RSVP so we know whether we need to call and awaken you from your hangover.
