No bars Downtown (that I&#8217;m aware of) sell it yet, but it&#8217;s in convenience stores. The 6.5% beer tastes almost exactly like regular 5% PBR. I didn&#8217;t notice a difference while I was drinking it, but when I woke up this morning I felt slightly groggy. &#8220;When have I felt like this before?&#8221; I asked myself, and realized I had felt like that when the night before, I had knocked off a high-gravity beer on my quest for my next plate at the Flying Saucer. Anyway, if you&#8217;re a PBR drinker, check out Extra. It&#8217;s not bad.<\/p>\n<p>Do you plan on partying with the Bluff City Mafia supporters&#8217; group at Brass Door prior to Memphis 901 FC&#8217;s match against North Carolina FC on Saturday? Even if you&#8217;re someone who normally pays everything with a debit card, I have a favor to ask&#8230; go to an ATM between now and Saturday and get some cash. Why? All cash sales at the pregame party in the alley next to Brass Door will go to Magan Hall&#8217;s GoFundMe to help pay for her cancer treatment. Magan is a member of Bluff City Mafia and started her second treatment this week.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/492898991277377\/\">natural mosquito spray class<\/a> returns to Cordelia&#8217;s Market Tuesday, August 20.
