An Event That Will Change the Face of Beer Drinking In Angeles City Forever

By Mike Queensway ngeles City has always been a beer drinking kind of town but to be honest, the offerings for variety and quality in beer, like in the rest of the Philippines, have been limited to say the least.
A
That is all about to change for Angelenos and visitors in a big way as the city will play host to one of the most unique festivals to ever come to this region; the 1st Annual Angeles City Craft Beer Festival, which will take place at Marquee Park at Marquee Mall December 2-4. For those unfamiliar with the term, craft beer refers to beer that is made by a brewery that is small, independent and that uses traditional methods of brewing. Craft beers are made by hand with no preservatives or chemicals and come in literally endless varieties with varying tastes and alcohol content.

Aussie Nash Hash is to be held in Ballarat, Victoria from Friday 24th February through to Sunday 26th February. The hard working Committee has named this version Gold Rush Nash Hash, as this is appropriate to Ballarat’s heritage.
Gold Rush Nash Hash will be mixture of athleticism and sociability, hedonism and satisfying the thirsty with the amber fluid and more, a refreshing escape from the nine-to-five dweebs you’re stuck with five days a week. Hashing is an exhilaratingly fun combination of running, orienteering, and partying, where bands of harriers and harriettes chase a trail seven-to-ten kilometre long through town, country, fording raging rivers, scaling tall mountains and desert, all in search of exercise, camaraderie, and good times.

A Succinct History
La Jolla Hash House Harriers
CONTENTS
By Caro-lion (w/some less-than-profound narrative embellishments by De’duk)
T
he La Jolla Hash House Harriers originated 38 years ago when founder Joe Curray, Professor Emeritus (Geology) Scripps Institution of Oceanography, handed out invitations for a ‘special event’ to SIO staff, students, faculty and friends that were known to run at La Jolla Shores beach or body-surf near Scripps Pier.
Prof. Curray had picked up the idea of forming a local Hash while in Asia where he had run with KLH3 the year before. The first few runs at Scripps, attended by several dozen ‘recruits’, took place on the UCSD campus located on the mesa above SIO and the picturesque Pacific-La Jolla coastline. The runs typically ended in a small campus police parking lot where the Hon-Sec or his co-hare’s car was stocked with a cooler of cheap beer. Word of the next run was typically via inter-office correspondence. The Pack doubled in number over the initial five years. By the time of the 300th (first invitational run held Feb. ‘84) there were between 40 and 50 dues-paying members; fees being collected quarterly by a selfdesignated Hash Cash. Beer was supplied by a Honorary Purveyor (later Biermeister) possessing a key to the Mud Core locker (beer storage) room.

Six Day - 100K Slovenia Trek
ack in May this year I got on the wrong bus at Interhash in Bali and ended up on the KL Mother hash trail, it started out well enough with a great sing song on the bus by the gifted singers from Malaysia, particularly memorable was the rendition of “In the Morning� with its deep and meaningful hash lyrics, and as we drove in the bus convey heading North through the many towns and villages with the smiling happy local people, I had no forewarning about what was to come, when I got off the bus was happy to meet Loose Nutz from Munich H3 and know at least one other hasher on the trail. I decided to walk the medium runners trail as the idea of the walkers trail did not seem challenging enough for me.
