FPB's Eastern Tour Continues!

Just when you thought FPB was hibernating like Squatch in the winter months on Forbidden Peak, the Crew is back with a vengeance with back-to-back adventure posts! Our tour of the East continues, with friends of the brewery Bridget and Eldon spreading the message of beer to Hong Kong. Bridget knew that her first step before embarking on the big adventure was to contact the Brewery and make sure that both travelers were decked out in their FPB logo-wear best. Their local Seattle brew representative made a special delivery at the 11th hour to make sure their travel plans were as successful as Squatch would have hoped.

In their email to FPB (forbiddenpeak@gmail.com), Bridget shared:
"I have some pics from our photo shoot at Victoria Peak. It was very windy up there and we were a little jet lagged, but there is a great shot of Eldon looking out towards the harbour and the skyline and the FPB logo in clear view on the back of his shirt! I've attached 2 pics. Enjoy!" Bridget and Eldon

For those who haven't been lucky enough to take the FPB tour of Hong Kong, Victoria Peak is located on the western half of Hong Kong Island, and is the tallest peak on the island proper. Alternative literal English translations of the mountain are "The Peak", and "Flag-Raising Mountain." Don't tell us that you never learning anything from the Forbidden Peak News!

Bridget is currently making the ultimate sacrifice and is fasting from all delicious beer while awaiting the birth of their first little brewer. Alas, FPB Hong Kong favorites San Miguel Brewery and East End Brewery will have to wait until their next adventure. Besides summiting Victoria Peak and spreading the love of FPB to our eastern fans, they spent their travels hustling Eldon's family at mahjong and sampling the local dim sum.
Thanks to Eldon and Bridget for sending in your pics, and stay tuned for more news of FPB adventures coming soon!
