Belg-a-Rama Starts Next Week at Blue Nile

By on November 18, 2010in bars/restaurants

…we’ll forgive Al at the Blue Nile for the name, but only because he’s offering up some great beers next week. Read on:

Anyone like Belgian beers? I do.
and here’s what I’m planning on doing. Everyone wants to know when my next beer event is, even before the latest one ends. So, instead of doing them every few months, and having a theme that over takes our entire tap line…once a month, every month, half of our taps will be devoted to Belgian beers for an entire week. Monday through Sunday, sample sets available, of course. The beers will not be repeated, and you can be assure of some rare and unique one. If you make it to every one for the next year, you will have have sampled 72 different Belgians.

#1 kicks off next Monday, Nov. 22 and the beers will be:

Bellegems Bruin, oud bruin, sour brown, Brouwerij Bockor,

Monk’s Cafe, Flemish Sour Red, Van Steenberge

Lucifer Blonde, Het Anker

Oud Beersel Framboise

Barbar Winter Bok, and

Peche Mel Scaldis, Brasserie duboisson.

Sounds good? You’ve got 7 days to come down to the Nile and check them out!

Pracna on Main and Deschutes are celebrating the holidays all throughout the month of December. Each Friday (excluding Christmas Eve) they will tap a specialty keg from Deschutes.

Dec 3: Nitro Obsidian Stout
Dec 10: The Dissident
Dec 17: The Abyss
Dec 31: Jubel 2010

From Pracna on Main:

Throughout the month we will also have chances to enter to win a Deschutes prize pack that will be given away on New Year’s Eve. Every time you purchase a Deschutes beer (any time of day, including Happy Hour), you will receive a punch on a punch card that your server or bartender will provide. After 5 punches, you’ll get a free beer and that card will be put into the drawing for the prize pack. The more Deschutes you drink the more chances you get for the sweet prize pack we’re putting together. The prize pack will include some very limited Deschutes bottles as well as some other fun stuff.

New Years Eve we will send off 2010 in style by tapping a keg of the Jubel 2010 and having the drawing for the prize pack. You do need to be present to win and the drawing will be held between 8-10pm. And don’t forget…happy hour starts at 9pm and goes until 11pm.

Any questions give us a call at Pracna, 612-379-3200.
