The Last Holiday Turkey

Nope, we haven’t slipped into a time warp, transporting us back to pre-holiday land. Rather, Fulton Beer and Bryant-Lake Bowl have teamed up to offer you, beer lovers, a great time this coming Sunday while helping recognize and reduce area hunger.

During the holiday season, we try to take the time to recognize that we’re very fortunate to have warm homes, cold beer, and enough food to get our fill. That said, not everyone is so fortunate. In recognition of this, Fulton & Bryant-Lake Bowl were inspired to hold an event called The Last Holiday Turkey.

The Last Holiday Turkey aims to raise money and awareness of hunger issues in our community. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Joyce Uptown Food Shelf. Admission is $10.00 per person, which includes the cost of bowling and shoe rental, a pint of Fulton’s Sweet Child of Vine IPA, food, and a token for future bowling at Bryant-Lake Bowl. Additionally, proceeds from sales of a special event T-shirt and Fulton merchandise will also benefit the food shelf. If you prefer not to bowl or a more tangible donation is your style, you can help by bringing canned food items to the door.

Registration is required. Please visit http://fultonbeer.com/zencart to sign up. Or, you can register in person at Bryant-Lake Bowl.

New Year’s Eve, The Day After

Some nice things going on New Years Eve (at Ngon and Town Hall–others?), but what about the day after? Apparently, Al at the Blue Nile set aside a few–and by “few” I mean” five”–gallons of Darkness, plus some other yummy treats.  If you’re ready to drink by 6pm, you should head to east Franklin and check it out.  Over at BeerAdvocate, Al sez:

People have been asking when we’ll tap our 5 gallon keg of Surly Darkness at the Blue Nile. I’ve decided to start the New Year off right by tapping that keg at 6pm, Friday, January 1, 2010.

Also available on draft: Bell’s Expedition 2008, Founder’s Imperial Stout, Left Hand Fade to Black, Flat Earth Black Helicopter, Schell’s Snowstorm, Surly Smoke…and more…they won’t all be stouts or imperials, but they will be excellent.

hope to see you then,
cheers,
al
