"I have a religious obligation to drink these two bottles of beer tonight."
Sold hametz to a friend. Removed it from my apartment (To the landing outside my door. That should suffice). Generally cleaned up some more, particularly in the kitchen. Washed all dishes, and kashered most of the cookware and other kasherable things. Finished the beer that was in a (Jewish) friend's fridge, so that's no longer an issue.
I'm heading off tomorrow afternoon to spend the weekend with family. It's the first year in a while I'm not providing a place at the table for out-of-town friends, the family is dwindling in size, and my parents have invited local friends of theirs. It should be interesting to see what this year's crowd feels like.
Founder's Day falls during Passover this year. I'm not thrilled. Celebrating a brewer's birthday during Passover just doesn't promise to be as much fun. Hmmm....anybody know of anybody that sells real cider (made from fermented pressed apples, not beer and apple juice) that's either kosher for passover, or close enough I can convince myself it is? (No hametz grains involved in the process, or other beverages involving such in the same brewery ought to suffice, right?)

Are your friends picky about their beverages being labeled Kosher for Passover (as I am not)? Many wines should qualify, and I know a number (besides Maneschevitz and other sweet concord grape wines of its ilk) are even labeled. So wine, and things made with wine and other non-grain ingredients, should qualify. Hmmmm....sangria...
In general, you'd want to look for the words "Kosher for Passover" in English and/or Hebrew explicitly on the label. If you don't know what it looks like in Hebrew and can't get someone to show you before I get back to Poughkeepsie, I can show you on Monday. The closest thing to foolproof is the Slivovitz, but I'm not certain that all Slivovitz is KfP, so you'll still want to check the label.
