Joe’s Wines and Liquors will host a beer tasting Downtown at the Cotton Museum on Thursday, October 23.\u00a0 They’ll pour 25 beers for sampling, along with some hearty autumn fare.\u00a0 The e-mail I was forwarded says that all the craft breweries will be represented, along with a few new ones that are just establishing a foothold in Memphis.\u00a0 More info to come soon.\u00a0 I actually don’t have info on how to get tickets yet, because the e-mail I got forwarded was for their wine club members only, who had first chance at the tickets.<\/p>\n
The beer tasting was discussed among the team last night at trivia.\u00a0 The Nuh-Uh Girl:\u00a0 “Will they have FOOD there?\u00a0 What kind of food are they going to serve?\u00a0 I’ll go if there’s food.”\u00a0 Geez.<\/p>\n
The Rapscallions took second at trivia last night, adding a $25 gift certificate, bringing our total to $220.\u00a0 However, it’s interesting to note that the team that beat us was named “Paul Ryburn’s BFFs.”\u00a0 Yes, Michelle and Jenny finally found a way to win at trivia, by inviting about 20 of their friends and co-workers to join them.\u00a0 This week they won fair and square, with no arguments about point totals or unclear questions, beating us 136 to 127.<\/p>\n
Tasteless comment of the week:\u00a0 Air Traffic Mike:\u00a0 “It’s John Lennon beer glass night?\u00a0 Shouldn’t that be a shot glass?”\u00a0 After thinking a little more, he followed up with, “Or a John Lennon beer glass and a Mark David Chapman shot glass.”<\/p>\n
If the Flying Saucer ever opens a restaurant in Moscow, I wonder if they’ll do Lenin glass night, instead of Lennon glass night?<\/p>\n
Congratulations to my trivia teammate Eric on his appearance in the Commercial Appeal this morning, in a great article about the Memphis Grizzlies’ mentoring efforts in the community<\/a>.<\/p>\n Turbo Dog is the Fire Sale today… yuck.\u00a0 Don’t forget, folks, Bardog Tavern has $2.50 PBR, all the time.\u00a0 If it weren’t for the Lennon glass I’d bypass the Saucer altogether today.<\/p>\n I’ll be at “Bands, Beer and Bums” at Jefferson Davis Park for about an hour before I go get the Lennon glass.\u00a0 The rain will have moved out of here by the time the music starts at 5:30 and it should be a fun time.\u00a0\u00a0 After I pick up the Lennon glass I’ll head over to trivia at Jillian’s with Mikey and Pete the Trivia Guy. $2 drafts, $3 Jager bombs, cherry bombs, and grape bombs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joe’s Wines and Liquors will host a beer tasting Downtown at the Cotton Museum on Thursday, October 23.\u00a0 They’ll pour 25 beers for sampling, along with some hearty autumn fare.\u00a0 The e-mail I was forwarded says that all the craft breweries will be represented, along with a few new ones that are just establishing a … Continue reading “Wed update: Beer tasting, Lennon glass, more”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2635"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2635\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
