Mike Meets Gary & Vicki Rada (AKA "Mr. And Mrs. Bear" for their love for the Chicago Bears)-North Dakota, Husband and Wife World Beer Tour Leaders.

On April 17, 2009 Mike and his buddy Pat made the journey up North to Fargo, North Dakota. The purpose was to visit another location and as a bonus hopefully meet the husband and wife duo with 50 plus World Beer Tours. As luck would have it they did just that.

As soon as they walked in a very nice couple noticed their mugs and called them over to meet them. The couple ended up being Gary and Vicki. Mike and Pat ended up spending the rest of the night talking to them, drinking beers, doing shots of Alligator Fux (Madori, Jaegermister, Amaretto & Sour), lots of laughs and just sharing their mutual love for the OC experience. It turned out being a great night!

Below are some Q & A that Mike had with this amazing couple::

(M) How many tours have you completed so far? (V) 63 (G) 75 (V) We also own our own business and have completed 4 corporate tours.

(M) Why OC and the WBT? We knew the General Manager and was looking for a new "home". He told us to try the WBT and we have been hooked ever since.

(M) What is your favorite OC food? (V) Double Deckeroni Pizza (G) Buffalo Wings/ Buffalo Sauce on the side

(M) What is your favorite Mini-Tour? (V) Cinco De Mayo (G) Cinco De Mayo and the St. Paddy's Day Tour. My hardest one to complete is definitely the Holiday Tour.

(M) What is your favorite beer and drinks at OC? (V) Finnegans Beer. Gary and I like the Rogue beers the least. I also like Red Sambuca and Goldschlager. (G) Believe it or not.....I started drinking beer and doing the WBT only as a challenge. OC is the ONLY place that I drink beer. My favorite beer is Bud Light and Minnesota Summit Porter. I really enjoy Stoli on the rocks. (M) Gary....I would definitely have to say that you are winning that challenge!
