Every great story ever told has a beginning but rarely do you read about before the beginning.  This leaves you wondering, what events transpired that would lead these three fearsome adventurers, nay, heroes to the place and time that is the beginning of our tale….

….. In our story, there is a simple man named Dave and no, he is not simple as might be implied.   Rather he is an enthusiastic, intelligent man, given to introspection, a healthy appreciation of the fairer sex, constantly seeking (mostly halfhearted) ways to improve his status in life. To sum him up in a single sentence would be to say that “He is a man with many great ideas, but lacks the discipline to see them through.”  It was one of these very ideas that caused him to be at the tavern brooding over his beer.

Word had reached Dave and there was to be a tournament, a contest of brews, one in which any man, woman or child could enter and the prize would be a heafty sum of gold.  In addition to the gold, your beer would be featured in the taverns around the world and to the victor, the title of “#1 Longshot Homebrew.”

Upon hearing of this tournament of brews, Dave partnered up with a hulk of a man we’ll call the big red beast.  Together, they pooled their limited resources, travelled to the local alchemy shop, and ordered their beer brewing kit.

Within a fortnight the kit arrived and Dave felt as excited as a child on Christimas morning.  When he shared the news with the beast, the beast had lost interest and moved on to what he considered more interesting endeavours, namely, being a male nurse….

Crestfallen and saddened, Dave put the kit in the closet where it stayed.  He had always planned on brewing the beer, but things always seemed to come up whenever he decided to execute his plans.

After a while, Dave’s beautiful, exotic mistress demanded that he do something about the big box that was taking up space that could otherwise be used to house more important things, like her shoes or handbags.  So, not sure exactly what to do with it, knowing he had to move it, he threw it over his shoulder and trudged down to the local tavern, for a pint to help him figure out what to do…
