A fourth craft brewery is coming to Memphis. WISEACRE Brewing Company will open at 2783 Broad. It will be operated by two brothers, and will produce both year-round brews and seasonals. It will have a tap room where customers can sample the brewery’s offerings and purchase beer to go. Three new breweries in the city in less than a year! Exciting times for those who enjoy good craft beer.
There will be a voting party for Southern Living magazine’s South’s Tastiest Town poll today at the Majestic Grille from 4 to 7 PM. The CVB will be on hand with laptops so you can vote. There will be drink specials and complimentary “voting” snacks. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
The KKK has filed permits for what they are calling one of their biggest rallies ever. Complete details of the rally have not been specified but it is said to begin at the Shelby County Courthouse at 140 Adams and will be Saturday, March 30. The point of the rally is to protest the renaming of Confederate, Jefferson Davis, and Forrest Parks. If ever there is a Saturday to leave Downtown and go hang out far, far away, this is it. Hmmm. Haven’t been to Wolfchase Mall in a while.
Seth from the Best Memphis Burger blog paid a second visit to the Green Beetle and was very pleased with his burger. Only a few Memphis burgers have earned 4.5 stars from Seth, and the Beetle’s burger has now joined that list.
Jayna Morgan and the Sazerac Sunrise Band play the Blind Bear this Saturday from 9 to 1. Their listing on Facebook says they’ll be bringing some “Storyville” to the Bear and concentrating on old timey traditional New Orleans jazz and Charlestonable music. “Charlestonable?” (awaiting comment from Air Traffic Mike)
I can’t believe I didn’t know who “DJ Woo Woo” was when I posted about his Club 152 appearance yesterday. If you don’t know, I won’t tell you, but the initial W is significant and I saw DJ Woo Woo perform one time many years ago when David the Worm was late for work.
Fun night last night. I attended a friend’s housewarming party at the Van Vleet Flats. It was my first time in the building. Very nice apartments. They did an excellent job with the conversion of that building. Before and after the housewarming, I was at Pint Nite at the Saucer. I got to catch up with my BBQ teammate G-Rock, although I couldn’t discuss team business much because a non-team-member was listening intently to every word. Beer recommendation: Southern Tier Phin & Matt’s. It’s a pale ale with a lot of flavor but it isn’t bitterly hoppy. It’s the first tap on the wall, on the left.
After the Saucer, I went to the Silly Goose and played poker. I didn’t make the final table, and it was my own fault. When you’re one of the big stacks, you need a very good hand to go up against a bigger stack that goes all-in. Oh well. At least I got to go home early. I took the Goose’s white pizza home, which was really good.
Possibly a second news post after work, check back.
