Starting off today’s post with several pieces of beer-related news. If you like stouts, the Flying Saucer is the place to be tonight at 6. They will be tapping the cask version of Memphis Made Brewing Co.’s Drew’s Day Off. Only two of these casks were produced, the other being tapped at the Saucer in Cordova at 5.
Brew for a Cure is tomorrow night at 7:30 at the Cadre Building, raising money to fight Type 1 diabetes. The event will feature beers from local breweries High Cotton, Memphis Made, and Ghost River, as well as regional breweries Tennessee Brew Works and Sweetwater. Food provided by the Arcade, Ciao Bella, La Hacienda, One and Only BBQ, Tzaiki’s, and Woodridge Farms. Live music by the Super 5. Silent auction as well. Suggested attire is “Friday Night Out,” whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.
Another beer-related fundraiser happens Sunday at the High Cotton taproom. The Brew Movement Against Mutiple Sclerosis Fall Mixer runs from noon to 6 and is intended to raise money and awareness for the Mid-South Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis society. Your $5 entry fee gets you discounted High Cotton pints, homebrew samples, a silent auction, and music by the Penny Kings. The El Taco Mero food truck will be on site.
Gould’s has proposed a patio at its new location at the southwest corner of Main and Union, but the DMC’s Design Review Board has concerns that it would not be used. What are they talking about? Of course it would be used! That crazy homeless woman who shouts random things at passersby would use it all the time, I am sure.
