MY BLOODY VALENTINE

We've got lots going on for big V-day. There will be food specials -- not the prix fixe, fancy ooh la la kind of thing, but it will be more like us-- tasty, house-crafted food potentially involving oysters, lobster and lip-staining beets. Rachel is doing us up some delicious desserts as well. All that will be available all weekend so you can celebrate with your sweets and / or your families, buddies, strangers, day or night, on the special day or before.

As for beer, we've got a My Bloody Valentine Weekend! Alesmith flights will include both a keg and a cask of their seasonal hoppy red beer My Bloody Valentine (it's 6.66% alcohol, tee hee.) It will also include Alesmith's Lil Devil, Speedway Stout, X, Nautical Nut Brown and on Sunday, Decadence 09!

Stick around late Sunday night for our My Blood Valentine Late Nite Flick.

BLAH is one of Draft Mags Best of '09

The Blind Lady Ale House was named as one of Draft Magazine's Best Bars of 2009. They "scoured the country from Alaska to Hawaii and Portland, Maine to Portland, Ore., to find the bars where you’re guaranteed to sip unmatched suds. Romantic or boisterous, scuzzy or dressed to the nines, the flavor of the places where fine brew is served runs the gamut. Here, the 150 places where craft is king and fun comes in all fashions."
