                   BEER
 (Ukrainian festival of beer in Lviv)


  {} Igor Bozhenko, 2000


  It turned out that the celebration
three-year anniversary of "OPTRON" coincided
time with many glorious festivals: the City Day, the 
anniversary of Lviv ZXNet and FIDO'shnogo our site rasp,

nearly three hundred year anniversary of Lviv
Brewery ... and is - of course! - Near the heart of every 
spektrumista event a Beer!


  That's about a funny episode that occurred during this 
holiday, I want to tell.


  So imagine: a sunny day, Market Square, main entrance to City 
Hall ... Here fomiruetsya holiday column, which

after opening the festival will go a solemn way in the Park of 
Culture - a broken where the beer town. " From standing in the 
column of trucks of various beer companies pour beer for 
everyone - for free! They besieged avid freebie to the crowd of 
teenagers: some can grab on Five or six kruzhechek. Underfoot 
crunch plastic cups from the drinking of beer.

Merrie Men of "Boyovogo hopak" demonstrate
build your own art. Two military
Wind orchestra alternately fuck skillfully and with ardor 
Ukrainian melodies ... 

  And then, finally, the door swings open town hall - and there 
are the organizers of the holiday accompanied by a parade of 
the armed escort, with swords unsheathed, consisting of ... 

  Do you think anyone? Well, of course, from
Lviv tolkinistov headed by our new author, Conan'om! (His story 
you could be read as "Optocouplers" | | 37, 38).


  Start of speech ... All the way through: from praise to the 
current status of brewing in Ukraine in general and in Lviv, in 
particular speakers are gradually shifting to the fact that,

according to recent surveys Ukrainian
scientists, all of European brewing began, it turns out, is 
from Lviv! Becomes quite clear that both Adam and Eve were 
Lviv, and the first thing they did, he found himself on Earth - 
it began to brew beer. 

  Momet comes the climax: the microphone is suitable president 
of the "cool" Ukrainian brewing company - Obolon.

In his hand - a huge circle Obolon intended - as he declares -
to treat the mayor Vasyl Kuybida. And while, as he nightingale
poured on the merits of the incomparable
Obolon, behind him is
something very interesting ...

  From City Hall (with great difficulty, I suppose, tearing off 
the table - whether the worker whether the holiday, God knows!) 
displays Pan Vasil; to him solemnly approaches

Conan and hands that cup "of Lviv!
Mayor bows to all four sides, a flare blitz escaped 
photographers solemnly her drains and a sense of duty returning 
to City Hall. 

  ... The president Obolon, no suspicion about what just 
happened behind him, concluded by

appeal:

  - And at a time shall seek miskogo Pan head
posmakuvati nashoi slavetnoi "Oboloni!

  But this appeal has remained a vain ...

  Was so ashamed Obolon!
