For those of you who are in town and have done all the grilling you can do, but still have some chilling left in you, come out tonight at 8 PM to The Ginger Man, 5607 Morningside.  The G’Man is 25 years old and going strong(ish).  So come out and help empty out whatever is left in their kegs after a long weekend.

Monday, 17 May 2010: Celebrate Craft Beer at the Petrol Station

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on May 17th, 2010

As a part of their observance of American Craft Beer Week, the Petrol Station is hosting the fine folks from Blanco (that’s pronounced BLANK-o, not blawnko, btw).  Real Ale are scheduled to have their Kraken (wine-barrel-aged Sisyphus barley wine),  Empire (wine-barrel-aged Lost Gold IPA), Devil’s Backbone Belgian-style tripel, and Real Heavy strong Scottish-style ale.

Come out to 985 Wakefield in lovely Garden Oaks (where it’s still 1973) at 8 PM.  The weather should cooperate for outdoor seating, which might turn out to be important, if a lot of folks come out for this very special evening.

And for your drinking pleasure the rest of the week, check out what’s going on around town in terms of other celebrations.

Monday, 10 May 2010: Outdoor seating at the Bier Haus

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on May 10th, 2010

The weather should be nice tonight for an evening at Han’s Bier Haus. Plenty of beer on tap, spacious outdoor seating, and bocce ball!  8:00 PM.  Leave your lederhosen in the closet, though.

The Bier Haus is located at 2523 Quenby (east of Kirby, south of Bissonnet, behind the Firestone).  Parking: You may park in the IBC bank lot across Quenby, but do not park in the spaces adjacent to the ATM. Do not park in the metal fenced lot behind the Firestone as that lot is locked.

BRC or the Big Red Cock – 8pm 519 Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77007-5348

BRC is a brand new gastropub ( just over a week old). They do have a nice selection of beers and good food (the mac and cheese was pretty awesome) and they carry the Slow Dough pretzels.  Here’s what the Chron has to say:   5 reasons to love BRC.
