Monday, 26 August 2013: Beer and Baseball at The Hay Merchant

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on August 26th, 2013

On this day in 1939, the first Major League Baseball game was televised on W2XBS (which, rather than being an 1990’s hip hop act, was the old name for WNBC).  The Reds and the (Brooklyn) Dodgers split a doubleheader at Ebbets Field.  Celebrate televised baseball with a pint at The Hay Merchant, 1100 Westheimer, at 8:00 PM.  Tonight the Reds will be playing the Cards on TV, so the last half of the game will probably still be on. Sample something from the 77 individually-regulated taps (including at least one nitro and 5 casks) or from the food menu.

Happy Birthday to Brandford Marsalis, who turns 53 today.

Monday, 19 August 2013: Unfrigateable beers at Liberty Station

On this day in 1812, the USS Constitution earned its moniker “Old Ironsides.”  Celebrate the glory days of American shipbuilding at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave, at 8 PM tonight.  The tap list has great variety for its size, they have a bar full of certifiably-inspired mixed drinks, and if you’re hungry, there’s probably a food truck outside (you are free to brown bag it as well).

Monday, 5 August, 2013: Obiwankenobiphobia at Cottonwood

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on August 5th, 2013

On this day in 2000, Sir Alec Guinness became one with the Force.  Although its resemblance to Chalum’s Cantina at Mos Eisley is tenuous at best, Cottonwood Bar, 3422 N Shepherd Dr , seems like a good place to commerate.  White suits are not recommended, given the weather.  See you there, with Control’s blessing, at 8 PM.

Apologies to Dr. Jack Badofsky.
