Frosty Bottom Brewing Volunteer of the Week: Dan Greeley – Adding Flavor to Bike and Beer Adventures
In the heart of our close-knit community, where the love for bikes and beer intertwine, one individual stands out this week as the shining example of dedication and creativity. Dan Greeley, an enthusiastic member of the Frosty Bottom Brewing family, has been named the Volunteer of the Week for his exceptional efforts in curating a bike and beer experience like no other. With his unwavering commitment, adventurous spirit, and thoughtful gestures, Dan has elevated the bike and beer rides to new heights, leaving participants with unforgettable memories.
Crafting Unique Experiences
For Dan Greeley, the bike and beer rides organized by Frosty Bottom Brewing are more than just social events – they are opportunities to create magical memories. This week’s ride was a testament to his innovative spirit. Instead of the usual single beer stop at the end, Dan orchestrated a multi-stop journey, each with a different Frosty Bottom brew waiting to be savored. It was a delightful way to combine the joy of cycling with the pleasure of tasting a variety of carefully crafted beers and celebrating Roy’s birthday.
Chasing Sunsets and Overcoming Adversity
But Dan’s dedication didn’t stop at beer selection. He had an ace up his sleeve as he meticulously planned the ride to culminate at the Top of the Hill, just in time for a breathtaking sunset. This attention to detail and knack for turning ordinary events into extraordinary experiences is what sets Dan apart.
Dan encountered a hurdle during the ride, a flat tire that threatened to put a damper on the adventure. However, his determination and commitment shone through. Without missing a beat, he traded his bike for a jog (ok, and some walking), keeping up with the group despite the setback. This resilient attitude showcased Dan’s unwavering dedication to the community and his fellow riders.
Gifting Creativity
As if orchestrating a multi-stop beer and bike ride while overcoming a flat tire wasn’t enough, Dan went a step further by surprising Roy with a thoughtful gift. A beautifully crafted three-dimensional display of the Frosty Bottom Brewing bike ride served as a token of appreciation. This creative and heartfelt gesture demonstrated Dan’s generosity and his ability to transform his passion for brewing and biking into tangible expressions of gratitude.
Dan Greeley’s dedication, creativity, and unwavering commitment to enhancing the Frosty Bottom Brewing community make him a true standout. His ability to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences, all while spreading positivity and fostering camaraderie, is truly inspiring. As the Volunteer of the Week, Dan Greeley reminds us all that it’s the little things – the unexpected stops, the breathtaking sunsets, the determination to overcome challenges, and the thoughtful gestures – that contribute to the rich tapestry of memories that define our community.
So here’s to Dan Greeley, the mastermind behind this week’s unforgettable bike and beer adventure. Your dedication and creativity have truly left an indelible mark on Frosty Bottom Brewing, and your willingness to go above and beyond embodies the spirit of what makes our community so special. Cheers to you!
WAIT! WHAT!? “Double Trouble: The Hilarious Mix-Up at the Volunteer Select Committee!”
A DOUBLE WIN for Aaron and Eric, Makes a Huge Win for FBB
In a bizarre twist of events, the Volunteer Select Committee recently found themselves in a comical pickle as they fumbled through allegations of wrongdoing, leaving us all in fits of laughter. It all started when the committee received anonymous tips about supposed mischievous behavior by two prominent volunteers, Aaron Bauman and Eric Kormann.
Aaron, known for his uncanny ability to charm animals and tame even the wildest of beasts, faced accusations of “over-enthusiastic pet hugging.” Meanwhile, Eric, a legendary baker at community events, was alleged to have committed the heinous crime of “stealing hearts with dangerously delicious cupcakes.” The absurdity of these accusations was not lost on anyone, but the committee felt duty-bound to investigate nonetheless.
After an in-depth investigation that included testimony from a talking parrot and a cupcake crumbs analysis, the committee ultimately found themselves snorting with laughter at the sheer absurdity of the claims. All allegations turned out to be as fictional as a unicorn frolicking in the backyard.
Seeing the humorous side of the situation, the committee decided to throw caution to the wind and do something unprecedented. Instead of choosing just one winner for the prestigious Volunteer of the Week award, they decided to celebrate Aaron and Eric’s unique contributions by awarding them both the title!
The award ceremony turned into a side-splitting affair as the two volunteers walked up to the stage with grins wider than a Cheshire cat’s. Aaron, dressed in a cape with animal prints, humbly admitted that he indeed enjoyed hugging animals but assured everyone that no pet had ever filed a complaint about it. Eric, standing next to him, pretended to stuff cupcakes into his pockets while pleading “cupcake innocence” to the cheering crowd.
The laughter and camaraderie that ensued during the ceremony served as a reminder that volunteering is not just about making a difference in the community; it’s also about forging bonds and sharing hilarious moments with fellow volunteers.
In an unprecedented move, the committee decided to create a new award category called “Outlandish Accusations, Unshakable Laughter” to commemorate the event. It will be given to volunteers who show remarkable resilience and good humor in the face of absurd allegations.
So there you have it, folks! The Volunteer Select Committee’s blunder turned out to be a catalyst for unforgettable laughter and a celebration of the unique spirit of volunteering. Aaron and Eric, the dynamic duo, proved that in the world of volunteering, sometimes laughter and absurdity can be the best rewards of all. They hugged their way to victory, cupcake crumbs and all!
And the winner is…
[Belfast, ME July 17, 2023] – Frosty Bottom Brewing, the best craft brewery in Western Belfast, is overjoyed to announce the recipient of the Volunteer of the Week award. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon individuals who have gone above and beyond in their quest for brewing greatness. Brace yourselves, folks, because this week’s decision was like choosing between a barrel of monkeys! Our contenders, Aaron Bauman and Eric Kormann, brewed up a storm and unleashed their awesomeness upon us, making it harder than ever to pick a winner.
Both Aaron and Eric stepped up their game to pull the award away from the King of Volunteers, Jon Thurston to showcase their passion for brewing and their willingness to go above and beyond.
Aaron consistently demonstrated a high level of commitment throughout his volunteer work at Frosty Bottom Brewing. He showed up consistently and reliably, ensuring that all tasks were completed with precision and enthusiasm. Aaron’s dedication to quality was evident in the exceptional beers he contributed to, making a lasting impact on the brewery’s offerings. Sadly, we are unsure if he consumed more beer than he helped brew during the production.
Aaron, the Sultan of Suds, proved to be an unwavering brewing champion. He was the reliable rock of our volunteer squad, showing up like clockwork and tackling tasks with more gusto than a hop-filled kangaroo. Aaron’s commitment to excellence shone brighter than a supernova, as he conjured up some of the most mind-blowing beers known to humanity. With each sip, our taste buds did a happy dance, and our hearts skipped a beat. Bravo, Aaron!
Meanwhile, Eric, the Duke of Draught, unleashed a whirlwind of leadership that left us spinning like dizzy beer mugs. This guy had more charisma than a talking pint glass and the vision of a beer-fueled mad scientist. Eric rallied the troops, inspiring fellow volunteers with his infectious enthusiasm and an uncanny ability to transform the brewing process into a circus of creativity. He was the life of the party, bringing forth innovation like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a beer barrel.
But hold your beer steins, ladies and gentlemen, because we have some tales to share that will leave you giggling into your frosty pints! As the selection committee painstakingly deliberated, it became apparent that our contenders were not content to simply rely on their brewing prowess. Oh no, they had tricks up their sleeves, and it was comedy gold!
In a daring move, Eric tried to bribe his way into the Volunteer of the Week title. He came marching in, waving his malt-covered monopoly money, attempting to lure the committee with promises of bottomless pints and a pet kangaroo named Brewster. While we couldn’t help but laugh at his audacity, Frosty Bottom Brewing is all about keeping it fair and square. Sorry, Eric, but our honor is not for sale!
Not to be outdone, Aaron took a different path to stardom. Armed with his silver tongue and a twinkle in his eye, he embarked on a grand adventure of bluffing his way into the top spot. With every interaction, he spun tales more elaborate than a beer-soaked novelist. From claiming he single-handedly taught yeast to do the samba to convincing us he invented a beer-powered rocket, Aaron’s antics had us in stitches. But, alas, we saw through his merry charade, for Frosty Bottom Brewing values authenticity as much as it does incredible brews.
After much laughter, deliberation, and a few spilled pints, the selection committee is thrilled to crown Aaron as the Volunteer of the Week. His unwavering commitment, dedication, and the mind-bending flavors he concocted made him the undeniable champion among our delightful band of volunteers.
Frosty Bottom Brewing extends heartfelt gratitude to both Aaron and Eric for their uproarious contributions. Their enthusiasm and shenanigans have played a monumental role in creating the zaniest and tastiest beers that Frosty Bottom Brewing has ever known.

Stan’s Removal from ‘Volunteer of the Week’ Sparks Controversy; Jon, OMT Himself, Takes the Helm
Date: June 22, 2023
Taste Testing Excess Lands Stan in Hot Water, Outrage Ensues
By the Webmaster
Frosty Bottom Brewing witnessed a wave of outrage and controversy this week as Stan, a beloved volunteer and staple of the community, was unexpectedly removed from his coveted position as “Volunteer of the Week.” The decision was made after Stan’s enthusiasm for taste testing beers led to excessive consumption, prompting organizers to replace him with none other than Jon, the renowned OMT (Old Man Time or in this case, the Official Master Taster) himself.
Stan, known for his unwavering dedication and commitment to volunteer work, has always been an exemplary figure at Frosty Bottom Brewing. For years, he selflessly contributed to various local initiatives, earning the esteemed title of “Volunteer of the Week” on the one occasion when he updated the website. However, his love for exploring different brews took a toll on his reliability, causing concern among those responsible for the recognition.
According to witnesses, Stan’s taste testing escapades took an unfortunate turn during a recent event at a local brewery. In his pursuit of discerning flavors, he may have sampled one beer too many, leading to a lively, albeit disorderly, spectacle. Although no serious harm was caused, organizers felt compelled to address the issue and reassess Stan’s role as “Volunteer of the Week.”
The decision to replace Stan sparked intense debate within the community. Supporters argued that his dedication and long-standing service should outweigh any single incident, especially one that didn’t cause significant harm. They believe that removing Stan from his esteemed position sends the wrong message, punishing his passion rather than celebrating his enduring commitment.
Contrarily, critics of Stan’s actions expressed concerns about accountability and the message it would send to other volunteers. They argue that standards must be upheld, and it is crucial to set an example for responsible behavior. Given the prominence of the “Volunteer of the Week” title, it was deemed necessary to find a suitable replacement who could embody both dedication and reliability.
In a surprising twist, Jon, OMT himself, was announced as Stan’s replacement. Jon, a renowned expert in beer tasting and an influential figure in the brewing community, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position. As the OMT, his expertise and discerning palate have garnered international recognition.
The decision to appoint Jon as the new “Volunteer of the Week” aims to bridge the gap between celebrating passion and maintaining accountability. By selecting an individual who epitomizes responsible taste testing, organizers hope to reinforce the importance of moderation and expertise in the field.
While Stan’s removal from his long-held position may be a source of disappointment for some, the controversy surrounding his departure has sparked a broader conversation about balancing passion with responsibility. As the community embraces Jon, OMT, as their new “Volunteer of the Week,” it is a time of reflection and consideration of the values and expectations upheld by the esteemed title.
As the dust settles on this controversial decision, the impact on Stan and the future of the “Volunteer of the Week” program remains uncertain. However, the ongoing discourse serves as a reminder that even the most dedicated individuals must navigate the fine line between pursuing their passions and upholding the standards expected of them.
