Jackie: So, tell me about Sunday night...what was the band like?

Alex: Dude...

Jen: Why did you like them? What was interesting?

(silence)

Jackie: We're forcing you to blog

Alex: I hate being forced to blog....Fucking, they are kick ass garage rock 101.

Jackie: Who the Beat Killers?

Alex: Like Love meets the Sonics meets....just solid musicianship. The rhythm section was fucking great. Oh the Beat Killers....kickass garage rock and roll. What's his face, the lead singer from the Red Onions fronting it. He kept saying to the crowd "What you paid $5 to sit down?" His vocal assault on the audience was awesome. Totally called them out for sitting down. He had a good lyric too, ah, what was it....I wish they had some music recorded.

The new school year is upon us and what better way to start the year off than a Beer Tasting. Join us September 4th at 7pm, and for a mere $15 you can enjoy some of the best Craft Beers on the market today. We'll even throw in the free pizza.

Here is a list of the beers you will get to sample:

1. 1. Abita Purple Haze is a crisp, American style wheat beer with raspberry puree added after filtration. Therefore, you may see raspberry pulp in the beer. The raspberries provide the lager with a subtle purple coloration and haze, a fruity aroma, and a tartly sweet taste.
2. 2. Dixie Blackened Voodoo - Characteristics: Dark reddish-brown color, decent head (quickly receding), light body that allows for some translucency, medium carbonation that underscores an intriguing battle between dry hops and sweet malts that continues all the way down.
3. 3. Green Flash Imperial IPA Imperial India Pale Ale San Diego-style IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale. Our Imperial IPA is created in this new tradition with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops. It's all about the hops!
4. 4. Lost Coast Downtown Brown - A dark brown ale with hints of brilliant mahogany hues; a definite coffee/chocolate characteristic in the nose and flavors; a mellow ale for a comfortable mood.
5. 5. Old Rasputin - A rich, intense brew with a robust palate, a fruity nose and a warming finish. Very complex.
6. 6. Grimbergen Dubbel - An abbey beer, Burgundy in color, very full bitter-sweet flavor with hints of caramel.
7. 7. Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse a wheat beer brewed exclusively from alpine water, malt, yeast and hops according to the Bavarian Purity law of 1516. This top fermented unfiltered Wheat beer has a natural cloudy appearance. A crisp, distinctive tase with a hint of clove.
8. 8. And a Beer To Be Announced
