Pilgrims Prove “Mightier” than Natives in annual Pre-Thanksgiving Keg Kill

Pilgrims show off their tapped keg

Usually, Thanksgiving is a celebration of cooperation.  Sometimes there’s some friendly competition.  This time… it was all about the kill.

DC natives took on their rival transplants in a new pre-Thanksgiving annual Keg Kill competition.

At the Mighty Pint on Wednesday evening, traditional Thanksgiving teams pitted their pour against one another, racing to see which would be the first to tap a full beer keg.   In the spirit of the holiday, enthusiastic costuming was in full effect.

The “Natives” led by Gus Montes de Oca, Justin Ross, Stewie Downer and Ashley Martins gave a strong showing, but in the end, the transplants, captained by Courtney Stecker, Heather Guay, Ken Suarez and Katelynn Calonkey, proved mightier than the locals… or maybe just more willing to feel hungover with the family!
