The Road to Beer Die Nation

We conclude season 1 with a trip back to Colby College on a cold Maine Saturday afternoon in 1978, where the brothers of Tau Delta Phi were about to kill an afternoon with no fewer than 1.21 GW of divine intervention.

Meet the person whose simple question in my garage eight years ago first gave me the idea there may be a Beer Die Nation out there and whose continued questions in my basement today reveal how that road might look.

We begin our journey from those safe 107 wooded acres out onto the wandering road to beer die nation at a place where some have said the game was founded.

The Smartest, the Greatest, and (of course) his Holiness, recount triumph, tragedy, and the less than immaculate conception of the Lake Forest College Greek Week Beer Die Tournament.

A conversation while teaching my son beer die (relax, he's a Sophomore in college) diverts our road on a detour through Women's relationships to and participation in this universal game

Before we set out to capture all of your stories it is only fair that we start with ours.

Since you know the What, How, and Who, it is time to discuss Why the time has come to seek the community of True Believers.

There are some undeniable realities associated with enjoying this game.  Before we set off on this journey to find true believers, it is probably important to face these head on and understand who exactly your guides will be.

The Choir of True Believers performs a virtuoso medley to teach you how they play the game.

What would you say to someone if you had 10 minutes to convince them to try and play the greatest drinking game ever invented?  What kind of person even attempts such a thing?  Well, a True Believer, of course.
