26 Feb 11 Sheepish
Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd, ‘If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?’
The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax, enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables. He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer, turns to the shepherd and says, ”You have exactly 1,586 sheep.’
The shepherd cheers, ‘That’s correct, you can have your sheep.’
The young man takes one of the animals from the flock and puts it in the back of his Porsche.
The shepherd looks at him and asks, ‘If I guess your profession, will you return my animal to me?’
The young man answers, ‘Yes, why not?’
The shepherd says, ‘You are an auditor.’
‘How did you know?’ asks the young man.
‘Very simple,’ answers the shepherd. ‘Firstly, you came here without being wanted. Secondly, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Thirdly, you don’t understand anything about my business….. Now can I have my dog back?’

17 Mar 09 St Patrick’s Day At Charleston Beer Exchange
St. Patrick’s Day Special
Wishing everyone a very happy St. Patrick’s Day from The Charleston Beer Exchange! To celebrate they are offering growler fills of COAST Brewing’s Dry Irish Style Stout (aka DIS Stout) for only $9.50 on Tuesday while it lasts! First come, first serve. Don’t miss this steal of a deal. What better way to celebrate than a delicious, organic, hometown favorite?!?
Rare Beer Tuesday
As if that wasn’t enough, they’ll be tapping a special keg at 5pm for their weekly “Rare Beer Tuesday” growler release at CBX! Their feature this week will be Avery/Russian River “Collaboration Not Litigation” Ale. This beer came about when two top American breweries discovered they both had a beer with the same name. Instead of a legal battle they decided to blend them together and release an altogether new beer! Thus “Collaboration Not Litigation” was born. It is a Belgian Strong Dark Ale weighing in at just under 9% ABV. This will be one of only a few draft appearances of this beer in the Southeast. Get it while you can!
Growler Station Upgrade
They are very excited to announce that they have added three more taps to the growler station and now have nine offerings for growlers at any given time! You thought it was hard to choose before. Go check this out!
Call or email anytime with questions.
Cheers,
The Charleston Beer Exchange
