** Note: While Beer Number 57 technically breaks the 2nd Beer Day Rule, as it is a can of the non-widget variety, it was admitted for Beer Day consumption because "D.G. Yuengling & Son is officially recognized as America's Oldest Brewery" (From can). Also, this is the first beer Peter has brought to Beer Day, he brought it especially from home, and he has been talking it up for the past six months.

The origins of Beer Day

To celebrate the successful completion of CWRU Run 1, Prof. Daniel Akerib purchased beverages of choice for each person involved. Although most people chose Champagne, Mark Jackson of Oxford Instruments chose Sam Adams. Because you can't buy a single beer, a six pack was purchased, and the single extra beer after the festivities was left in the office of room 101. It set there for a while, until one day we realized that it didn't belong to any of us, but we had no way of getting it to Mark Jackson. Therefore, we drank it, and proudly placed it on our window. We then decided that this first "Beer Day" should become a tradition, and it has.

Beer Day Rules

There are a few simple rules regarding beer to be placed on the ledge for Beer Day.

• The beer must be drank in Rockefeller 101
• The beer must be in a bottle, unless the can is of the "widget" type
• The beer must be unique in brand and type of any beer already on the ledge
