Beer Me!

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed – Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.’”
-Jack Handy

Share the same sentiments as Jack Handy about beer and looking for something to do tonight? Head to Elvino in Venice for their first ever Six Pack Tuesdays beer tasting event.

Elvino is a wine shop and tasting bar on Abbot Kinney, that you have probably passed by or stopped at during First Fridays.  They hold weekly wine tastings (Fridays from 5p to close and weekends from 1p-close), where you can taste a flight of 3 wines for $10.  They also have fresh baked breads from 3 Square Cafe and other eats from the Market Gourmet during their tastings.

Tonight, from 6p-8p,  to showcase their craft beer selection, Elvino hosts the first Six Pack Tuesdays, where for $6 you can taste 6 beers! A rep from Stone Brewing Co will be heading the tasting and if you want some eats with your beer, the Let’s Be Frank truck will be parked outside with some yummy hot dogs available for purchase.

Here is the beer line up for tonight’s tasting:

-Maredsous 6 Blond (Belgian Blond/Pale Ale)

-St Feuillian Saison (Belgian Saison)

-Brewery Ommegang Hennepin Farmhouse Saison (Belgian Style Saison)

-Stone Brewing Co Smoked Porter (American Porter)

-Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA  (American India Pale Ale)

Perfect Summer weeknight activity!  Reservations are not required for tastings. For more info on Elvino’s tastings and events, sign up for their email list at www.elvinowines.com
