Entertaining success!
We ended up having four couples (including us) at the house for the beer tasting. It was a bit crowded, but we worked it out. Next time, I think we need to get a lazy susan for the apps.
We started with a cheese tray and H's famous artichoke/spin dip.
A friend grilled brats and H carmelized some onions and bought saurkraut (sp?). H made sausage meatballs (that weren't flat) and them kick it in the crockpot all day with some home-made marinara sause. He bought some rolls and we have mini-meatball subs.
I made the brownie/peanut butter cookie Thank you Betty concoction.
It was a great time. Our friend brought some beers he got while traveling across the nation and I picked up a make-your-own 6-pack the night before. Everyone would have a few sips of the same beer while enjoying good food.
Ax chilled with everyone and was hardly skittish at all. He also is eating out of a bowl now and has even eaten other foods, like a tater tot, chicken, cheese, and has tried some veggies, but doesn't much care for them. Jake happily eats what Ax discards 
Re: Entertaining success!
YAY!! That's awesome. So happy to hear your party was a success. Makes me hungry from brats and beer.
Also, great to hear Ax is adjusting.
MMmmmmm sounds great.
Yay for Ax too.
Yay flags all around!
I'm glad Ax is calming down and getting used to loving people.
