Who said there was wheat in beer???
Besides.....I usually only drink ale or stout, as I don't want to get a "beer belly" but did have a "wheat belly".
Have not had one of those tasty beverages for at least 18 hours???
Just finished reading the entire towline start to finish.
Thanks Marrianne

There is wheat only in wheat beer! Now that said, some homebrewers put a little wheat in their beers to help with better head retention. But normally beer doesn't contain wheat. Barley does however have gluten, so if you are gluten intolerant you should not drink beer at all.

Brian, all beer is divided into two kingdoms, Ale and Lager. Stouts and porters are just dark ales. Whether it's an ale or a lager is determined by what kind of yeast is used to ferment it. There's no appreciable difference in calorie or carb count between lagers and ales.

More than you ever wanted to know ;-)

Thanks Charlie
To help digest all of this important information, I am forced to sit down with a tasty "Ale" just to keep things clear in my head.
But, being Easter Sunday, this was an Old Vines Zinfandel day!
Practice, Practice, Practice!
Se you a month from today!

Only 18 more days until we are in Union Gap Wa. for the 2nd annual "On Our Way Gathering"
Looks like we have at least 13 trailers for this "No Host" event now.
That is double to what we had last year!
If can make it with your trailer or just want to drop in and say Hi while attending the Vintage Truck show at the Ag Museum Grounds, we would love to see you!

Once again it is time to check in and report on what has been happening so far this Teardrop Camping Season.
We had 16 Teardrops show up at the 2nd Annual "On Our Way Gathering" at the Ag Museum in Union Gap Wa.
The venue and the weather could not have been better!
This was a very laid back "No Host" Gathering giving most of us a chance to get out for the first time of the season, and relax in the midst of some great Washington State Farm memorabilia.
We were also treated to a Car Show on the Sunday.
Things just evolved as the event went on, with a Chili & Tamale night on Friday, Pancake Breakfasts, and an impromptu Pot Luck on Saturday.
There was some great stories told at the evening gatherings in the infamous "Butt Hut" and a few beverages consumed.
Some participants even got to hike up the mountain.
We are waiting for that great photo Greg????
A number of new PNW Chapter Member were signed up, that were attracted to the venue by the Car Show.
This event will definitely be on next years schedule.

Shasta Lake Gathering saw a good number of PNW Chapter Tear Jerker Members in attendance.
5 Teardrops that were at Union Gap the previous weekend continued on to Lakehead for this 1st Annual event.
Once again the weather and the participants were Great!
We did encounter some cool nights on the way across the high dessert of Oregon.
It was nice to see that the support shown by Teardrop owners for this event; there were 79 officially registered trailers at this event .....75 of which were "Trardrops"!
This event will be around for a good long time.
