Monday, 30 June 2014: Boom goes the beer at The Ginger Man

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on June 30th, 2014

Ok, so we really truly hope that nothing explodes anywhere near The Ginger Man, 5607 Morningside in Rice Village, when we gather there tonight for a pint at 8 PM.  We will, however, be commemorating the Tunguska Impact, which happened on this day in 1908.

On this day in 1939, Canadian-born Bronko Nagurski defeated Lou Thesz to take the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the (then-new) Coliseum here in Houston.  Presenting the belt was Houston Mayor Oscar Holcombe. Celebrate this auspicious event in the annals of professional “sports” at 8 PM tonight at Whole Foods, 4004 Bellaire Boulevard (a mere two blocks from the western terminus of Hizzonor’s eponymous boulevard) for a pint or glass. WF have recently completely renovated and expanded their bar area, so this is a great chance to see what they have on tap!

On this day in 1891, songwriter and bon vivant Cole Porter was born in Peru, IN.  Whether you fancy yourself a sturdy stein of beer or a flute of champagne, dodge the raindrops and join us tonight at Local Pour, 1952 W Gray St, at 8 PM. Have a pint or a mixed drink (or just hang out abstemiously).

Monday 2, June 2014: Free (as in speech, not as in beer) Beer at Liberty Station

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on June 2nd, 2014

On this day in 1851, Maine became the first US state to ban the production and sale of alcohol.  Repealed and reinstated in various forms until the repeal of national prohibition in 1933, “the Maine law” also established legal grounding for lawful search and seizure. Join us at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave, at 8 PM tonight to exercise responsibly our restored freedoms.  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)
