What time are the Opening Ceremonies today? London is five hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, and I think the ceremonies begin at 9:00 London time, so 4:00 our time? Is that correct? I want to make sure to watch all the chicks that are taking advantage of the 150,000 free condoms. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* In honor of the London games, maybe I'll try to find some barleywine. Maybe I'll start with some aged [Thomas Hardy](http://draftmag.com/cellar/uncapped-44-25-and-4-year-old-thomas-hardys-ale/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com): "If any beer was ever made for the cellar, it's English barleywine. Its combination of fruity esters, mellow English hops, intense (initially harsh) fusel alcohols and kettle-caramelized malts write the perfect script for cellar success. And if the English barleywine is the granddaddy of vintage beers, Thomas Hardy's Ale is the grand Poobah of them all." I looked for some [on eBay](http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?%5Fnkw=thomas+hardy+ale&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Looks like bottles typically go for $20ish. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* The home of Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, is holding its county fair, and it's featuring beer and wine tasting. [PDF Link](http://www.sanduskycountyfair.com/Fairbook/Depts/Dept9.pdf?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Man, I'd love it if our county fair did such thing. We have a great county fair here, but they're kinda stuck in Puritan ways. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* And finally, a loyal TDE reader sends along this great picture, with this message: "Thought you might like this ... family reunion photo from my maternal grandmother's family, I think sometime between 1915 and 1920\. Must be home brew in those glasses."
