The Quest for the Holy Grain
Great Hall of Questors

Here do we swear, by mouth, heart and hands, fealty and service to the Holy Grain. To strike and to spare, to speak and to be silent, to come and to go, to do and to let be and to drink beer the entire time. In all matters which concern this Quest, in need or in plenty, in peace or in war, in living or in dying, until grain departs from this planet, or death take us, or the world end, so say we Questors all, that only the most faithful Questors may enter this hallowed hall.

The names of the men inscribed on this page shall be known as Questors One Thousand throughout the land of the Holy Grain. Questors pledge to a strict code of honor and service:

• To never do outrage nor murder
• Always to flee treason
• To by no means be cruel but to give mercy unto him who asks for mercy
• To always do ladies, gentlewomen and widows
• To never force ladies, gentlewomen or widows
  

Foamee

On the 26th day of the eighth month in the year of our Lord 2006, Foamee did become the second Questor to scale to that lofty plateau by comsuming and documenting his 1,000th different beer.

Foamee takes the first sip of his 1,000th different documented beer...Samichlaus...an Austrian brew.

The deed was done amidst a gathering of friends and Questors at the Frisco Grille in the village of Columbia.

Walter the First welcomes Foamee to the Great Hall of Holy Grainers.

The staff of the ale house, and various drinking companions were swift to pay homage to Foamee and his accomplishment.

In his Quest for 1,000, Foamee has always honored family values.

Foamee's travels will now take him to the cold North, and across the great ocean to the East, as his Quest continues, leaving Brothers Yonan, Mickey D., Cap'n Ken, and Calvano vying to become the next Questor to reach the Great Hall of Holy Grainers.

Walter the First

On the 9 th day of the fourth month in the year of our Lord 2005 Walter did become the first official inductee into the Great Hall of Questors by drinking his 1,000th documented beer.

Walter the First holds number 1,000... an Alpenhof Oatmeal Stout amidst an assemblage of Questors gathered to witness what no other Questor has done.

The Grain is nearly consumed as Walter the First transcribes the event for history and becomes the first to enter the Great Hall of Questors.

Yonan hoists a firkin and gets into the swing of things

Yonan the Barbarian, a founder of the Quest for the Holy Grain, witnessed this event and had this to say, "The guy's a nut. We were partaking of ale, it was the Holidays, no one was really going to drink and document a thousand different beers. Going out for beers with Walter got to be like playing one-on-one with Shaq, no one wanted to do it. He was way too serious and way too good at this. A thousand different beers in sixteen months, taking his records eveywhere he went, it's kinda creepy- scary, you know? But he'd buy a six-pack to get a new beer and me and some of the other Questors got a lot of free beer that way, so I hope Walter goes for the world record, I bought a new car with the money I saved on beer this past year."

Here are some of Walter's reflections on that night.
