Tomorrow (Sunday) BLAH will be donating 100% of the profits from the entire day to Sandy Hook Elementary School where the terrible shootings took place last week.
Heidi, one of our managers, grew up in Connecticut and her friend, Courtney Martin, has been a teacher at the Sandy Hook Elementary School for ten years. Courtney was a true hero on Friday morning. She locked her classroom door and huddled with her children in a corner, keeping them calm and telling them she loved them. Courtney and her students were fortunately unharmed.
Sandy Hook Elementary School is relocating to a new school in Monroe, a nearby town. Courtney plans to prepare and decorate their new classroom for a fresh start. She wants to make the classroom a peaceful and calm place for her students as they begin the healing process.
To help Courtney and her third graders, BLAH will also be collecting gift cards to Office Depot, Target, Staples- places Courtney and the other teachers can purchase supplies for the new school. If you can, come on by BLAH Sunday (tomorrow.) We are open from 11:30am to midnight- and bring a card to include in our pack, or simply eat and have a beer.
Spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, by carrier pigeon, reindeer network, etc. With your help, we can directly help this teacher, her kids and this school.
And now here are our holiday hours for the next week-
Monday, Christmas Eve, CLOSED AT BOTH PLACES
Tuesday, Christmas, BLAH (Bar Only) will be OPEN at 5pm-10pm ish.
(Tiger will be closed.)
Monday, New Years Eve

This year we're starting the celebration one day early. Yep, starting on Friday we'll bust out 90 Limited Edition BLAHktoberfest Keeper Steins. Get one full of festbier for $18 and refill it all weekend (Friday-Sunday) for the ridiculous price of $8. That's over 33oz of festbier.
Also, this year we will be importing delicious German Brats all the way from North Park! Ok, so that's not really importing them, but they're probably the best Brats in town and their made in-house at Tiger!Tiger! and will be available (while supplies last) at BLAHktoberfest.
T-Shirt Hosen? Yes! They'll be back with a color change.
Get in early because last year most sizes sold out fast!

BLAH & T!T! in the NY & LA Times
How are things on the East Coast? Looks like they might be sitting in their cubicles daydreaming about West Coast beers. "If Hamiltons shuts out the bright Southern Californian light in classic pub style, the Blind Lady Ale House, in the Normal Heights neighborhood, invites it in with plenty of communal tables near its big plate-glass windows..." Check out the full NY Times article here "Beyond San Diego's Surf and Sun: Suds".

Bike To Work Week
So much stuff going on, let's go day by day and start with TODAY-
:: wednesday ::
DrinkAbout is tonight. At TIGER! TIGER! we have a cask of Founders / Green Flash collab called Linchpin (a white ipa).
At BLAH we have a $5 margheritas (the pizza, duh), but you have to ask. It's a secret. Shhh. And only till 7pm.
FRIDAY
it's bike to work week and so we are giving 15% instead of our usual 10% if you ride your bike. and B2W culminates on friday with dealios on friday. At BLAH we up the discount to 20% and at TIGER!TIGER! we are serving up a $2.50 hangar 24 cask. But only if you wear your B2W t-shirt, or show your B2W schwag or flaunt your B2W check-in sticker. Otherwise, no $2.50 deal.
There is yet more fun stuff on Friday: Have you heard of Societe Brewing? You should. We'll have kegs of their Apprentice IPA & Harlot Belgian Extra at progressive pricing. $2-2pm, $3-3pm, $4-4pm. Starts at 11:30am on Friday at Tiger!Tiger!
At BLAH we've have progressive kegs starting at 11:30am. Random beers at a nice price. $2-2pm, $3-3pm, $4-4pm.
SATURDAY
At TIGER! TIGER! we are opening early, at 11 am, for the UEFA Finals! BAYERN MUNCHE vs CHELSEA. BIG screen with BIG sound.
Saturday is also Bike the Boulevard. If you go on it, you will are scheduled to stop at T!T! from 3-4. We will have Celis White for $3 for that hour to celebrate BTB.
At BLAH we will have a Founders Flight when we open at 11:30 am. Also we will have Lunchpin, that's a lunchtime offering of the Green Flash/Founders Linchpin - say that 5 times fast. Ha. Really, that just means we will have Linchpin on at lunchtime at BLAH, but it's so fun to say Lunchpin.
SUNDAY
The jam-packed weekend continues with the Festival o' fArts, we mean Arts, in North Park on Sunday. The beer garden is open 11-6 and Lee will be there with the latest Automatic Brewing creation. Thing Belgian wheat, tangerines, kumquats and maybe some other fresh and fruitiness thrown in at the last minute. Oh, and T!T! is just a short walk from the festival. Nice.
Also there is brunch and doughnuts at T!T! We have coffee now on sundays and we like to highlight / showcase different local coffee roasters, including our neighbors Calabria AND the new guy on the boulevard, the Coffee & Tea Collective, who are open for service as of Wednesday! Speaking of those doughnuts, people are talking 'bout them all over facebook. It's pretty darn flattering (to our sous Sharon Wilson, who makes 'em that is) and yeah, they're vegan. We only make them (for now) on sundays.
:: but wait, there is more ::
We are gonna open for lunches at BLAH for Summer, as in Tuesday-Sunday starting June 19. More info to come as we get closer. but now we have said it out loud so we have to do it!
We are giving away a bike, did you know that? Courtesy of the wonderful Adams Avenue Bikes - it's a LINUS Dutchi 3-speed. You can see one at both T!T! and BLAH! (look up) and you can buy raffle tickets at either place too and they are $1 or $20 wingspan and all the money goes to the SD County Bike Coalition. Win-win.
Cheers,
Blind Lady Ale House
