Unbeknownst to the owner/principal of Catalyst, Jason Rysavy, the latest routine beer order and shipment happened to include a case of Chimay Rouge. The unceasing benevolence of our leader was the reason for our ordering confidence. Various members of the interactive department consider this beverage to be the nectar of the gods, and successfully coerced the Catalyst Studio Manager (Ellen, who has no knowledge of the finer points of ale) into slipping this finely crafted Trappist beer into the order amongst the Miller Lites and Coors Lights. It was an attempt to bring a balance to the beer culture within our microcosm. (All while at the peril of being considered "beer snobs.")

However, at 4:36pm on Friday the 18th of April 2008, our magnificent leader became aware of the presence of this brew, and called into question the necessity of such a beer on his tab. Despite being caught off guard, Sir Rysavy retained his compose, sense of grace, and most importantly, mercy for the his colleagues.

All in all, jason = best boss, ever.
(Thanks for the special treat.)

All our love,
2/5 of the Interactive Team
