I am swimming in pint glasses. How did this happen? Just about every Wednesday, the Columbia Pint Night crew meets at Frisco Tap House. There, the featured brewery offers a free pint glass if you buy their beer. After years of Pint Nights, the glasses have really piled up, now overflowing throughout my house.

At the gate entrance, we were given wristbands (free admission) proving our worthiness to drink Irish beer. We entered the “Open Gate”, a little stunned by the enormous, amusement park feel.
