Chalky's, Buckwater & the Glue's birthday

Yesterday was the Glue's birthday.  We started off the day watching the twins first soccer game even though they hadn't had any practices.  The team named itself the Red Apple Soccer team.  The twins spent most of the game holding hands and watching the other players but got into the game more towards the end.  I don't think there is any score kept but it ended up tied 1-1 with the Red Apple Soccers scoring both goals.
As we were leaving we were able to get in the Elks early so I could finally pay my dues then it was off to the high school to watch Ethans 5/6 grade football game.  As a fifth grader he didn't get a lot of playing time but it was fun watching and his team won 34-6.
On the way home to change we stopped in the American Legion for a beer and so I could pay my long overdue dues.  We were only staying for one but walked out with two chips for future beers.
After changing we decided to try Chalkys by the old Ramada Inn.  The inside was really nice and unsurprisingly loaded with pool tables.  They have a small bar and only have your standard mass produced beers.  We both got Busch Bavarians after they said they were out of Stag.  We ordered 5 wings to snack with sauce on the side.  The Glue got a hot parmesan type and I got what the waitress recommended.  Hers was too hot for me and mine was good.
We made a quick stop at the Cellar where we ran into several people we know who were debating going to the SIU game. 
Buckwater Brew Works doesn't open until 3pm and for some reason I didn't think they served food until 5pm but found out differently when we arrived.  The waitress seemed really pissy and impatient.  I ordered a stout and the Glue got a niner niner 263 lager.  The stout was good but the lager wasn't that great.  The Glue wanted to try the italian mac and cheese and I got a brat with sidewinder fries.  The Glue said the italian mac was good.  The sidewinder fries was okay but were a little better when I put some salt on them.  The brat was disappointing.  I didn't realize it came with a copious amount of cheese on it.  After a couple of bites the sandwich fell apart and I just scrapped as much of the cheese off the brat and ate it.

We finished up the Glue's birthday tour with a quick beer at Brews Brothers.  Overall a good day.
