Boscos beer is now wholesaling their beers out of their warehouse location at 827 S. Main (at Crump). They will carry their South Main Pale Ale, Tennessee Cream Ale, Flaming Stone, Bombay IPA, Midtown aka Downtown Brown Ale, and Isle of Skye Scottish Ale in half-gallon growlers, 5 gallon kegs, and 15 1/2 gallon kegs. The dock will be open 9 to 5:30 Monday-Thursday, 9 to 6 Friday, and 9 to 1 (PM, not AM) Saturday. For best service on kegs, call a day ahead. Here’s a page on their website with more information.
More info from Otto: “Had to look around a bit to find the sales place though. As you’re
heading south on Main, just before you get to Crump, you take the
right into their big gated parking lot. The sales office has a sign up
that says “DOCK SALES” and some hours on it. Go in that door, up the
dock, tell the guy what you want. Done and done, easy.
They take credit, and don’t have a lot of cash on hand, so either
bring credit or exact change.”
A new restaurant looks to be opening in the former Wendell’s World Beat Grill location on South Main. A reader of this blog sent a couple of pictures of the new sign hanging out front, reading “Safari World Tapas Bar.” Its slogan is “taste the journey!” Anyone got more info on this? E-mail me (paul@paulryburn.com) if you do.
So, who’s doing pre-game/during-game specials for #1 Memphis vs. #2 Tennessee Saturday? E-mail me and let me know.
Congrats to the Rapscallions on ANOTHER first-place trivia victory. Even with one of our own as the trivia master, we didn’t have to cheat to win. We’re just that damn awesome. That brings us to $100 toward our next party.

My BFF and her mini-me were both working tonight, although neither was our waitress. The mini-me is developing a hell of an attitude, not surprising when you consider who her role model is. After leaving the Saucer I went to Calhoun’s for one beer with Mikey the Trivia Guy, running into Sam and arts columnist Skipford M. Blank and of course bartender extraordinarre Lauren.
This has been your Tuesday night drunk post. Time for bed.
