[The Just]

Quest For The Keg
Season One -- Week Two -- April 8^th, 2007

After a good showing by the communities for the first week, the pressure on those losing teams mounted as they took it from their co-workers on Monday. The winners were treated like royal amongst their fellow citizens, but now it’s back to the ballpark.

All teams decided to carry on with tradition, with some of the most skunk-like beer being consumed. Probably the only real well-known brand that was being noticed by a good amount was Guinness (half of Ellore was on that stuff), while Brooklyn Brown Ale and Schmidt were seen in many hands of the players.
