BBQ teammates: I sent out an email just now about an open house celebrating the life of our teammate Danny C. If you didn’t get the email (or if you’re not on the team but knew Danny) email me at paul@paulryburn.com and I will forward you the information.
There will be a big ceremony at Memphis Made Brewing Co. today from 3 to 5. The Camp Fire in California was one of the worst wildfires in modern history. To help with recovery, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. organized the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund. Breweries across the country brewed their own version of Resilience IPA and served it in their taprooms. Memphis Made did a 10 barrel batch which is just about gone. Today they will pour the last few pints of Resilience and present a check to Sierra Nevada rep Derek Petrella for more than $7000. Come raise a pint with them and toast this collaborative effort.
PBR news: There’s going to be a Pabst Blue Ribbon whiskey sometime this year.
Speaking of PBR, those who drink the beer are seeing some unusual cans Downtown.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a throwback design. However, on further inspection it appears that the printer messed up.
From April through June, you will be able to enjoy live, local music, food by chef Karen Blockman Carrier, and classic burlesque as Velvetina’s Blue Moon Revue comes to Mollie Fontaine Lounge.
I love a good muffuletta and Bluff City Coffee has one this month.
Our Sandwich of the Month for March is the Muffuletta! Rich salami, ham, and pepperoni; provolone cheese; savory house-made olive spread; and fluffy muffuletta bread make a satisfying lunch to power you through to the weekend. Served with your choice of chips and a pickle. pic.twitter.com/fzv94Ynhur

The Daily Beast has a good article on the time Donald Trump tried to buy NFL team the Buffalo Bills.
The temperatures are going to suck the next three days, but still, this is March and festival season is fast approaching! I look forward to informing my readers of many fun things to do the next couple of months.
Going to stay close to home today due to the cold and the wind. Back tomorrow with more news.
