Speaking of Lent... via the EVG inbox...

East Village to Celebrate "Liquid Lent: 40 Days of Beer"

Inspired by a blogger who decided to live on beer for Lent, Beer Sessions Radio™ will team with seven East Village craft beer establishments to celebrate Lent with a series of tasting events and dinners that focus on Trappist and Monk’s brews. From Ash Wednesday (March 5th) through mid-April, Beer Sessions Radio™ will join the following establishments for events and tastings:

• ABC Beer Co., Burp Castle, dba East Village, Eastwood, Jimmy’s No. 43, Malt & Mold, and Top Hops will each host a featured event plus tastings

Beers will include a selection of Trappist ales from Orval, Westmalle, Rochefort and La Trappe, along with the St. Feuillen/Green Flash collaboration brews. Plus, Timmermans Lambics, Empire’s Aphro White, Finback Brewing’s Double Sess, Ommegang/Duvel, Nøgne ø Tiger Tripel, and many more TBA.

It's so weird to see this in the East Village. The beer crowd has gotten so fancy in the last decade or so. I guess people don't drink Heineken, Bud or Red Stripe anymore. They're not good enough.

An interesting take on Lent; back in the day people gave up beer!

Oh and PS..
Red Bar. Rolling Rock = high end microbrew. Anyone else recall?!

Any excuse for a bar, pub, beer, or alcohol crawl.

Good Friday? Yeah, they'll have a pub crawl for that? Holy Thursday? Sure. Passover? Most definitely. Etc., etc.

This is just too surreal after hearing about Black Hound closing.

Catholics and their loopholes.

Drinking Budweiser is the equivalent of eating McDonalds. When you guys battle against large corporations and their effects on the East Village, you really like to be selective.
