I'd pour one out for the homies, but it seems enough have gone to waste.

I had to laugh at this line -

For months afterward. the blocks around the brewery stunk like a Delta Tau Chi frat pad after a righteous kegger.

Have they made a memorial to the beer yet?

In honor of this anniversary, and of the fact that this is the first truly autumnal day of the year (at least here in Texas) I shall endeavor to procure some tasty porter. (Fullers if possible)

Honestly, dying from being drowned in beer sounds more pleasant (relatively) then being glazed alive by hot molasses.

No, you're wrong. While it is a temptation to see the phrase "one million pints" as being plural, it's actually a collective unit of measure and should thus be used with a singular verb. For example, you'd say "Two pounds of water was used" not "Two pounds of water were used."
