Want to Come to the “Third Annual World Beverage” Showcase?!

Monday September 14th from 4-8 pm I have been invited to Beechwood’s beer showcase. Its almost 100 beers to sample and is being held at the Harley Museum. I’ll get to meet the brewers and importers, and drink a lot of FREE BEER! I can almost hear people through the screen cursing me and calling me names for rubbing it in. BUT! I can bring 2 guests! So starting today August 1st through August 31st the two customers who spend the most will be invited to join me! All you have to do is sign up in our database at your first purchase and remember to tell whoever is working when you come in throughout the month to enter that transaction under your name. Pretty simple right?! Good! Now get in here and get a good head start. If you don’t already follow me on twitter you should, I’ll periodically update the standings there (@blatzliquor).

Joe Woelfle – Blatz Liquor

For a little fun last Sunday, Miltown Kid (con Fiesta, or as he says Fiestacon), Joe Woelfle of Blatz liquor and I, decided to drive around and deliver FREE six packs of Blatz beer.  Let me introduce Miltown kid…

Yup he’s a wild one! This guy runs around doing more things than anyone could imagine.  His sultry style and swagger got him into the Ford Fiesta Movement.  Which means, he now drives around a brand new Ford Fiesta just for promotional use.  So we decided to promote it delivering Blatz beer. (PLUGGG!)

Joe with Blatz Liquor is all about giving back to the community. Joe put together a small contest on twitter, where if you direct messaged him your address you were currently at, we would then delivery a Blatz 6 pack to you right then and there by way of the Ford Fiesta. Here’s the pics of our adventures as we Blatzed Milwaukee. P.S. don’t mind the random 6 pack boxes we used, the guy owns a liquor store and its what was available. :)

Nooooooo not like that! But this week I will be reviewing a beer by the Stone Brewery from Escondido CA. They have been assaulting peoples taste buds since 1996 with their ?Ruination
IPA? leading the charge. As I have mentioned before, I try to get as much information off a
bottle as possible before opening and tasting it. The lads at Stone were kind enough to not only explain where the name came from but also include a description of the beer so I don’t need to interpret anything! They must have known I would have got it wrong.
Ruination: The act of ruining or the condition of being ruined;a severe state of damage; destruction archived by wrecking (as described on the bottle). Naming a beer after this noun could be taken a few different ways ? it is a 7.7% ABV beer, so it will get you wrecked, but in this context they don?t mean to ruin your palate!  I?ll spare you the rest of the novel on the bottle, if you want to read it come buy one.   Now its time to drink this guy.
The first thing you?ll notice before you take your first sip is that your hand looks pretty small holding this bottle. Of course you?ll realize that?s due to the fact it?s a 22 ounce bottle. Ruination pours beautifully and has a rich golden color and think head. Even before you bring the glass close to take a sip you will be able to smell the hops. Now prepare yourself, and take a swig. I wish I could be there when everyone of you tries this beer for the first time ? if your anything like me you?ll put down the glass, unpucker your lips and say ?wow? as you pick up the bottle and re-read the definition of ruination, and realize they nailed it.
This is definitly the hops lovers dream beer, so if thats you or someone you know come get one!
