We’ve picked the date for Blind Lion again and it’s Saturday November 13th. Same deal as before. $100 gets you a dinner buffet, over 50 scotches to sample and a cigar. This time we’ll have more scotch purveyors, and we’ll have J&J Cigars on hand, Seattle’s premier cigar shop.

It’s supposed to be a hot one this Thursday with temperatures reaching well into the 90’s. I can’t think of a better way to stay cool than our air conditioning, and the beers of Russian River Brewing Company. We won’t have Vinnie or Natalie in attendance, but we will have 7 of their beers on tap.
Starts at Happy Hour.

Consecration
Ale with currants added and aged in oak barrels. 10.0%ABV
Damnation
Strong Golden Ale 7.0%ABV
Pliny The Elder
Double IPA 8.0%ABV

This Saturday, Fremont attempts to reclaim the Guiness Book Of World Records title, for most Zombie impersonators gathered together in one spot at one time. Expect thousands of Zombies
roaming the streets out front of Brouwer’s Cafe, as well as inside. Apparently the next best thing to brains is strong malty beer and hard liquor. Come on down and watch the spectacle, or become a zombie yourself for one night.

Heads up, we’ll be closed this Sunday to observe the 4th of July.
There are plenty of bars around town that are going crazy for the world cup and opening their doors as early as 4am to show every match possible. We are not one of those bars. However there are a number of games that do fall within our operating hours. We will be showing the following list of games with the sound on through our massive stereo system. We’re even researching extra screens for the games.

2010 Beer Week was one hell of a party this year. I’d like to thank my partners in the Beer Collective for all the hard work we’ve done to get Beer week rolling the past 2 years. Internally I need to thank all of the staff here at Brouwer’s for the extra shifts and long hours to make the many wonderful events happen. This year was even bigger and more explosive than before.
The biggest thanks of course goes out to everyone who came down to our events and made them the best they could be. As a reward over the next couple weeks we will be re-tapping some of our favorites beers that we poured during beer week. So keep your eyes on the draft list and check your tweets because there will be some amazing beers on tap, without the beer week crowds.
