This weekend!

Friday Lunch Cask: FireStone Union Jack
$2 til 2pm. $3 til 3pm. Starts at 11:30am.

The Adams Avenue Street Fair is this weekend and the line-up is actually AWESOME. We are so pleasantly shocked, we can't even tell you. It is mayhem around these parts during this weekend, but fun, air-conditioned (inside BLAH, and we got it tuned up so it's working better now) mayhem. Bands making an appearance include (but are not limited to) Dengue Fever, a weird Beat Farmersreunion, El Vez, Jack "Mr. Bongo" Costanza, Arthur Adams, Cedric Burnside Project, local faves The Creepy Creeps, The Bedbreakers,Black Hondo, The Amandas and more!


Today's cask is Firestone Walker's Union Jack. It will be on at 11:30am and cost $2 till 2:00, unless we run out. That's what we call the Progressive Cask. Because if it lasts beyond 2:00 then it's $3, until 3:00. And so on.

And then tomorrow our little Avenue transforms into a crazy music, craft, junk fair known as Adams Avenue Street Fair. This is what we suggest:

Stroll the Ave, grab some coffee, peruse the hippie jewelry and make sure you're front and center for the Bedbreakers at noon. Stay for the Amandas and then grab a beer and pizza in the air-conditioned comfort of Blind Lady. Head back out to see Black Hondo at 5:30 and then Dengue Fever at 7:30. If you can slip over to see El Vez in between for a bit, all the better. Try to catch the end of Mr. Bongo before heading back to BLAH for more food and/or beer.

On Sunday, take your time getting in, but make it to the Creepy Creeps at 2:45. This should be interesting -- watching them in midday sunshine -- and you maybe need a beer before, or after... or both. After that, your day just might be over. But if it's not, hit up either the Blues stage or the Worldbeat stage for some pleasant sounds. Oh, and the Beat Farmers play at 4:30.

Remember there is no parking on Adams after midnight tonight. And parking will be scarce tomorrow and Sunday, so ride. your. bike. We will give you 10% off if you do, as always.

One last thing: City Beat's "best of" issue is coming out and you could vote for us,

But hey, totally up to you. And that's all folks.

PROGRESSIVE KEG : FRIDAY, SEPT 16

PROGRESSIVE KEG? We just tapped the cask of H24 2xIPA and it's not ready to be served. So, instead of serving it today we're gonna save it and do a Progressive Keg of Green Flash 30th St. That's right, get a full .5L of 30th for $2 til 2pm, $3 til 3pm and $4 til it's gone. Starts at 11:30am.

The Adams Avenue Street Fair is the 24th and 25th of September and the line-up is actually AWESOME. We are so pleasantly shocked, we can't even tell you. It is mayhem around these parts during this weekend, but fun, air-conditioned (inside BLAH, and we got it tuned up so it's working better now) mayhem. Bands making an appearance include (but are not limited to) Dengue Fever, a weird Beat Farmers reunion, El Vez, Jack "Mr. Bongo" Costanza, Arthur Adams, Cedric Burnside Project, local faves The Creepy Creeps, The Bedbreakers, Black Hondo, The Amandas and more!

Win a Bike! Get a Glass! Drink Beer!

Oops, wrong order. Should be: Drink a beer, (potentially) get a glass, (maybe) win a bike!

In honor of Labor Day weekend, which is fast approaching, we are honoring the hardest working beer in the business: LAGERS. (The working man's beer, sort of. It's a stretch, but roll with it.) This is how we are honoring: we are serving them up in fancy glasses that we will give away to the first lucky people to visit during those times (give us a minute) and we are giving away, as in a RAFFLE (or we think the legal term is OPPORTUNITY DRAW) to win a very cool TRUMER PILS URBAN CRUISER (with seven speeds!) As in a bike! It's hanging in BLAH right now! This is a lot of exclamation points!

So starting this evening, you can get a raffle ticket (nee, opportunity draw ticket) for $1 or your wingspan worth of tickets for a $20. The draw will go all the way to the end o' Sunday night when we pick a ticket from the box and voila! That lucky person will get the bike. You need not be present to win.

But wait! There is more!

On Friday we will open with our classic $2 progressive cask (this week's cask is Sierra's Cask-Aid, get it? Cascade hops, it's a cask, we are full of puns around here) and then at 5pm we will break out the first GLASS GIVEAWAY of the weekend. What will it be? Trumer Pils, of course. And with each purchase of a Trumer, you get 2 tickets for the raffle. And the first 90 people or so get to keep the glass.

Then on Saturday, we open with ANOTHER GLASS GIVEAWAY. The beer? Avery Joe's Pils. We have a limited supply of Avery glasses to give away right at 11:30 am when we open, per person please, as supplies last, and no, you don't get a free raffle ticket with that beer. That's a mouthful. But wait, there is even more...

On Sunday we will have our final GLASS GIVEAWAY of the holiday weekend: Prima Pils from Victory. Same rules apply, one per, as supplies last. We open at 11:30 and that's when we bring out the glasses.

Then on Monday, when we said we'd be open and showing some cool movie, well, we lied. We decided to close. So enjoy your Monday Labor Day celebrations... elsewhere.

Bye bye, August... Hello, September.
