June 14, 2010 Chinstrap - An ASICentral Local Celebrity!Filed under: General, Uncategorized Last year, I wrote about ASICentral’s very own Steve “Chinstrap” Hawk and how close he came to winning the vaunted annual “Philly Beer Geek” contest, losing by a hair of his chinny, chin-chin to Nate “Nugget Nate” Gefvert. In a battle that saw Steve get down on one knee and propose to his favorite beer — in this case, his fiancee and good sport, Crystal, dressed as a beer – Steve was dynamite that night, and we all thought he was robbed. Fast forward one year … With the bitter, skunky taste of 2009’s loss lingering in his mouth like an Old Milwaukee Light, Steve-O not only dusted himself off but raised the bar to a level that would make even the staunchest of beer connoisseurs and historians proud. By riding into the competition on a motorized beer cooler and composing a hilariously clever and inventive campaign speech hailing his nomination for Philly Pale Ale for mayor, “The Human Growler” — as he’s known in beer circles – not only blew away the competition, he tore a hole in it and tapped it! And we’re proud to say that today we here in ASICentral have a true local celebrity in our midst. Ladies and gentleman, congrats to this year’s Philly Beer Geek, Steve Hawk!
