Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks: your NYE plans, boozy gifts for other people, and boozy gifts for you from Brew. (We're talking about free beer.)
Afternoon Snacks
Today on Afternoon Snacks, well, we seem to have booze on the brain. Beer, more beer, fortified wine, and free beer!
Isn't it a little early to be thinking about New Year's? Well, yes, in one sense. But in another sense—like if you are the type who likes to go out on NYE to a place of your choosing and not to whatever place you get stuck with due to shitty planning—then, no. It's not really that early at all. You know what's a fun place? Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South St.). Their NYE package goes for $100, they have 100 tickets to sell, and they're offering a 4-hour open bar and a "grand buffet." And let us just say that our heart skips a beat imagining just how grand an AYCE spread from Brauhaus could be.
A big thank you to the good people at the Drink Nation, for putting together this beer gift guide broken down for eight different stereotypes you may be puzzling over shopping for this year. This is what we call useful information.
Of course, to make it even simpler, Spodee's got a suggestion for you: stockings full of hooch. Cheap, cheerful, applies near-universally!
And if you think it's better to receive free beer than to give, you can drop into Brew (1900 S. 15th St.) tonight from 5 to 7 p.m. for free samples of Lagunitas brews. We think it might include Brown Shugga, but you'll just have to stop by and sip to find out for sure!
