The new Butchertown brew pub, Apocalypse Brew, is officially opening tonight. I will see you there! Save me a beer! Here’s the piece I wrote a few weeks ago on the new place.

Made a dent in the Bats happy hour. Let’s play ball! (Or beer pong.)

Lots of history being made this week.
• Barack Obama, the president of the United States, said: ”I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.” Yay! Should I start planning my wedding now or after I find a girlfriend?
• Kentucky finally isn’t the laughing stock of the country — that honor goes to North Carolina! Come on, NC, I would have expected that out of West Virginia, but you?? With the beautiful mountains and Asheville? I bet the hippies in Asheville are shaking their Birkenstocks at the government!

More beer in the mail! This time in the form of Magic Hat‘s two new summer beers — Pistil and Elder Betty. They were both delicious and would make the perfect drinks to sip in the sun.
Pistil is a session beer brewed with Dandelion petals. It was earthy and mild and refreshing … like making out with a hippie … after they’ve showered in a spring rain.
The Elder Betty was a bit more fruity and hoppy. It’s a Weiss-style ale brewed with elderberries. I preferred this one because I like my good beers a little hefty … and the sweetness rounded out the full-bodied flavor.
They’re both available in the Summer Scene Variety Pak at liquor stores throughout town. Try ‘em out for yourself!

I tried a Skipper over the weekend. It’s a mix of a few cans of Natural Ice beer (yuck!), a bottle of Heaven Hill vodka (yuck!) and a can of pink lemonade (yum!). Amazingly, it’s pretty damn good … and sneakingly strong.

Another reason it’s a bad idea to drink and get on eBay. UPS says it’ll be here in 5-7 business days. Yay!!!
