...that lovely time of year when one's thoughts turn to fresh produce at the Farmer's Market, the return of cargo shorts, sandals, and smoked St. Louis style ribs glistening with sauce. What's missing? Let's explore that, shall we?
First, let's catch up on old business...
Easter!
Honestly, if you're all about getting hammered on Easter while struggling to remember the lyrics to The Old Rugged Cross, then you've got more problems than I can address in this blog. The trick, though, is to sneak in a half-pint: they fit right in the inside pocket of that suit that you've worn every Easter for 15 years. All jokes aside, let's regard the drinking holidays for what they are. Easter, I have to declare, is the exact opposite of a "drinker's" holiday. After all, every real drinker knows that there are 2 real drinking holidays, which brings us to new business.
St. Patty's Day
Now we're talking, eh? St. Patty's Day offered the same kind of standard fare as always. We celebrated by playing the Pogues, Flogging Molly, and Dropkick Murphy's in random orders throughout the entire day. Hope you all woke up safe and in your own bed (or at least a safe one). For the time being, however, we still have some Boulevard Irish Ale in stock, and we have to make room for their newest seasonal addition, Boss Tom's Golden Bock. That means that we have no choice but to sell the Irish Ale at a ridiculous $5.99 while supply lasts. Last I checked, we only had a couple cases left, so get them while they're cheap.
But remember, there is one more drinker's holiday... And it's coming up... VERY SOON... Ladies and gentlemen, please brace yourself for my personal favorite drinker's holiday on the books...
Cinco de Mayo
Ay, ay, ay, ay!!! Arriba, baby!!! Holy crap, we're talking about Cinco de Mayo, we're talking about margaritas and mojitos and saannnnnngria. Cinco de Mayo is like the Fourth of July plus St. Patty's Day plus Mardis Gras divided by Easter. It is awesome. It's not too late in the season to be uncomfortably hot (like the 4th can be), but very rarely ends up a rainy day (like St. Patty's), it's the perfect excuse to take the day off to experiment with tequila (or mezcal), and it's my favorite holiday to go out. Henry's, a coffeehouse/bar downtown, makes a mad sangria for the 5th of May, and I strongly recommend trying one of the very one-of-a-kind margaritas from La Parilla, just down the street. If going out isn't your style, feel free to swing by and pick up some Landshark, Corona Light, or grab a cheap 12-pack of Tecate for just $9.99.
But wait, there's more...
For example, we picked up some Ginger Bee from Crabtree Brewery in Greeley, CO. Francis Ford Coppola's Diamond series reds are on the shelf for that special grilled steak dinner. Of course, if you're looking for a bright crisp white, we offer the Bianco pinot grigio as the perfect Coppola wine for the pedestrian connoisseur (that's right, Janet, I'm talking about you). Also, we have incredible sales on Bauer Haus Rieslings and Parrot Bay Mango and Pineapple Rum. All in all, I'd say that it's beginning to look a lot like Cinco de Mayo around the store, folks, and I think it's about time you swing on by. I'll see you around... Until then...
...stay thirsty, my friends.
