What in the world do a NASA satellite program, race cars, beer, and a 7-year-old who is fighting for his life against cancer have in common? Well, on the surface, not a single thing, however Government Beers by Guy M. Beaver proves that unintentional things often fall into place in order to produce something totally illogical, but ultimately extraordinary. Mixing the microbrewery plans for Langley Lager into one of the most lucrative NASA proposals that Gordon Miller’s team had ever put together creates a whole new concept which ends up being a delightfully funny error and a delicious new government beer. Having read the deadline date wrong, the team ends up having only 36 hours to put their proposal together. Mixed into that same span of 36 hours is the interest of another party who would like to buy and brew the special micro-brew beer that they had developed more or less as a hobby in their little pub near Langley Air Force Base. They already had the contract with NASA when they discovered that microbrewery plans had been included in the proposal and was funded. Ultimately, what they do with that funding ends up not only producing a government beer, but also ends up being a blessing to Wesley Larkins who is battling cancer.
Government Beers is a hilarious story which allows the reader to not only enjoy some of the quirkiness of rocket scientists as they do what they do best with the latest and greatest space technology, but also shows how humanity can take an accident and turn it into something that actually does some good. Hilarious, heartwarming and quirky, Government Beers is one of the most delightful accidents that you will ever read about and it will keep a smile on your face long after you turn the last page.
