Squeezin' - Dizzy Rooster - Austin, TX - Champagne of Beers #73
What is with the weird containers on 6th? You'll notice a Miller logo instead of MHL on my photo from Friends, and now a new can here. It says "The Champagne of Bottle BEER" on it!
Also I should mention Bat Bar does not have MHL so I have a 512 IPA
Squeezin' - Friends - Austin, TX - Champagne of Beers #72
Gonna see what I can get on dirty sixth. 1/1 so far.

Squeezin' - The Legendary White Swan - Austin, TX - Champagne of Beers #71
There are three bands playing tonight that I want to see, but Lost Soul Revue is the only one playing at a bar where I haven't had a MHL yet. I figure I'll stick around for 30 min of music once they start, then move on downtown.

This gettin frustrating! Got 69 at Third Base, then wasn't willing to pay $8 cover at Mean Eyed Cat. Paid $3 cover at Donn's Depot only to drink a Miller Lite amongst a group of senior citizens. Plucker's S Lamar (my sure thing I thought) let me down, as did Baker St Pub. Now I'm at Horseshoe for only my second MHL of the night.

Squeezin' - Chuggin' Monkey - Austin, TX - Champagne of Beers #68
Went down to the Elephant Room tonight to see Big Band music (already confirmed before no MHL). My friend was not there so I left after a few songs. Handlebar no MHL had a Magic Hat #9. Soho Lounge no MHL had a LS. Chuggin' Monkey has MHL and I'm drinking it while watching a cover band. If I recall correctly, this was a frequent Real World Austin hangout. So, its appropriate that I'm here tonight cause I watched two DVRed eps of RW St. Thomas before coming down.

Wiley* - In Hot Tub post Leadville 100 Trail race at 2am - PBR #10
Wiley - 100 Lone Star Challenge recap
Thanks for posting the update, Squeezin.
This is certainly not a race, and more of a personal challenge, and I was quite shocked to see the count of registrants balloon to close to 90. I never expected more than a dozen to actually do it, correctly predicting that most would lose interest or simply didn't realize the work it takes to get to 100.
That's ok, fun to see that some of us are sticking to it. Ragnar and Billierubensbabe are still in it for sure.
Here's how mine played out:

Apparently failed to upload to the site, but did chronicle it on my IG account and FB.
My PBR run is underway but will be a challenge due to scarcity of said beer in Austin. Hopefully I'll get to 50.

Squeezin's Challenge Update
It's Labor Day, so I decided to do some labor in addition to doing some drinking. I was curious--where do I stand among the other participants? How many do we really have any more? I collected some stats!
The participants page lists 84 CAYBDs, though I only see somewhere around 61 that have ever posted anything. Here are where the top 25 stand:
Of the rest that have 11 or less beers to their credit, only one has a post in the last two months, with most of the rest quitting in January or February.
You probably already noticed that we have two finishers already, Slow Ride and Psycho. Slow Ride completed his yellow beer of choice (Carling? WTH is that? Do I want to know?) in fine fashion during the London Marathon on April 22, at the same time he "lit up a Cuban." I know I don't want to know what that means. In a completely opposite situation, Psycho finished her PBR crawling through a stream under a bridge in Denver sometime on or shortly before June 18. Congratulations to our FRB and FBI!
Wiley at 97 Lone Stars seems to be waiting for a special occasion to finish them, with his last post being on July 12. It appears, however, that he will fail to complete his double challenge unless he starts drinking PBR again soon. According to my research, he only has 8 of those so far.
Brownie is just a bit behind him at 92 and remains active, so he will finish soon and perhaps beat Wiley unless Wiley wakes up soon. Not that it matters--this is not a race.
After that you have Bilirubensbabe and yours truly, who are perfectly on pace with 67 beers and 1/3 of the year left to go. I will be proud to be the first to represent the Champagne of Beers--and perhaps the only one unless Lulu (at 57 MHLs and a last posting date over a month ago) decides to step it up.
Billie, Ragnar, and Piggus appear to be committed to the challenge with decent beer counts and recent posting dates. Ms. Blue and Animoul are quite a bit behind on the count, but should not be counted out as they have also been recently active. I have little hope for everyone else.
At this point, it appears that only Carling, PBR, Lone Star, and the Champagne of Beers will have a place on the 100 Yellow Beers in 100 Different Places Challenge of 2012 Ring of Honor. But, we still have over 100 days until the end of the year. That means only a beer a day is necessary to complete the challenge (and that's if you start NOW!) Don't let your chosen beer down!!!
