Hey, CCR enthusiasts! 🚗💨
We hit a milestone—our 30th race of the season! 🎉 To mark this special occasion, we brought you a quirky, fun-filled event that combined the best of racing and refreshments. CCR: Cheers and Gears, a race that promised to be as refreshing as a cold beer on a hot day, where we introduced Banana Phone Brew: The Only Beer That Lets You Dial Up the Fun!
What Was Brewing? This wasn't just any CCR event—it was a tribute to the unique and delicious new brew! Made with fresh bananas and a touch of retro phone charm, this brew was a delightful blend of flavors that tickled everyone's taste buds. And what better way to celebrate International Beer Day than by racing through checkpoints themed around our favorite fruity beer? For this special event, each checkpoint paid homage to Banana Phone Brew, with fun "facts" about the brew waiting for the racers. Whether they were fans of fruity flavors or just loved a good time, this race had something for everyone. Here's a few of those creative facts:
Monkey-Powered Mixing: At the Bananaphone Brewery, we employ a team of highly skilled monkeys who help peel bananas and ensure each batch has the perfect amount of fruity goodness. It's a job they do with a peel-ease! 🍌🐒
Rotary Bottling Line: Inspired by classic rotary phones, our bottling line is designed to mimic the spinning dial. Each bottle goes through a "ring cycle," ensuring the brew is dialed to perfection before it's capped. 🍺📞
Banana Quality Control: Every banana used in Bananaphone Brew undergoes rigorous quality control, including a "peel test" where only the happiest bananas—those that peel with a smile—are selected. 🍌😊
Fermentation Funk: The fermentation process for Bananaphone Brew includes a unique step called the "banana boogie," where the tanks are gently rocked to the beat of a retro playlist. This ensures the yeast has a groovy time converting sugars into alcohol. 🎶🍻
Vintage Vibe: Our brewery is decorated with vintage telephones from various eras, creating an atmosphere where brewers can "call in" creativity and inspiration while crafting each batch. ☎️🍺
Phone Booth Aging: Some special editions of Bananaphone Brew are aged in custom-designed "phone booths," where the brew gets an extra dose of character. These booths are said to enhance the brew's "call waiting" flavor profile. 📞🍻
Caller ID Cap: Each bottle of Bananaphone Brew comes with a "Caller ID Cap," a fun twist on bottle caps featuring a random banana-related joke or fact. Collect them all to complete your "banana directory"! 🍌📞
Message in a Bottle: Hidden inside a select few bottles are tiny, hand-written "messages in a bottle," containing quirky banana jokes or fun facts. It’s our way of adding a little surprise to your sipping experience! 🍻📝
Banana Signal: To ensure every batch is perfectly balanced, we use a secret "banana signal"—a light system that changes colors based on the banana-to-brew ratio, ensuring each bottle has the right banana flair. 🍌🍺
Peel Off the Label: The labels on our bottles are made from a special peel-able material, revealing a fun fact or quirky message underneath. It’s a little extra fun for those who can’t resist peeling back the layers! 🍺🍌
Our brewmaster, inspired by the catchy tune "Bananaphone," decided to take things a step further. After all, why should beer be boring? Each batch of Bananaphone Brew is lovingly made with ripe bananas, giving it a smooth, tropical twist. But that's not all—our secret ingredient? A dash of nostalgia from the golden age of rotary phones. (Don't worry, we kept the cords out of the brew—mostly.)
Why Banana Phone Brew?
Ring-Ring Refreshment: The banana infusion delivers a fruity burst that's downright a-peeling.
Retro Ringtone: With every sip, you'll swear you can hear the distant echo of a landline ringing. It's not just a drink; it's an experience.
Monkey Business Approved: Tested and loved by monkeys (and humans) worldwide.
Perfect for those who love a good pun and a better pun-chline, Banana Phone Brew is your go-to beverage for parties, picnics, and prank calls. So grab a bottle, pop the top, and let Banana Phone Brew dial up the fun!
Remember, if life gives you bananas, make Bananaphone Brew!
And the Winners Are... We had 26 finishers who made it to the end of the race. A huge congratulations to Jamt, who won the 2024 CCR ZMW Buggy! Also, kudos to Musicmom, who won 5k plus an unopened bottle of Banana Phone Brew.
We are also now doubling the winner's circle whenever a previous grand prize winner is also our current grand prize winner. This way we can spread the joy with more vehicles given out and more lucky CCR enthusiasts! Don't forget to check your stats on the CCR Spreadsheet.
