We have an on-time
Guide, and now here’s the buzzer
beater version!
Okay y’all, are you trying to make a dad happy or not? If
you are not going with the latter option, here are some more options besides

me!
Enjoy!

Make Pops one the first to break in the
Eventide Brewing Tasting Room!
If your dad is in
Atlanta and loves beer, make him a part of history and be one of the first to
visit the brand new Eventide Tasting Room in Grant Park (Address:
1015 Grant St SE, Atlanta GA 30315) that opens to the public officially June
20th, from 2 pm to 6 pm! Sure there are a lot of breweries in
Georgia, but how often do get you to christen a new addition to their growing
business? It’s only $12 for 36 ounces of any beer(s) Dad wants plus a special
glass. Cost will be $12. That will get you 36oz total of any
beer(s) you choose, and you get to keep your glass. Kick it! More info is here.
Brews With A View Beer Dinner at Nikolai’s
Roof
On Wednesday, June 24th, at 7:00 p.m., the classy spot
known as Nikolai’s Roof (Hilton
Atlanta 255 Courtland Street NE Atlanta, GA 30303) is presenting BREWS WITH A VIEW—Savor the Flavors of
Summer, which is Belgian beers paired with gourmet dishes of a four-course
dinner for a mere $60 per person plus tax & gratuity. Crafted by Chef de
Cuisine Stephanie Alderete and Executive Sous Chef Olivier De Busschere, one of
the dishes include crustacean broth, butter-poached escargot, petite herbs and
lemon pan-roasted squab. And the beers? Tripel
Karmeliet Blond Kwak, Vanderghinste Oud Bruin, and La Trappe Quadrupel further solidify
this is no joke! Oh, this includes complimentary valet parking and that’s
awesome because I HATE paying for parking. Call 404.221.6362 to reserve your
place now!
Take Dad to the free official Hawks Draft Party!
Okay, so maybe our beloved Atlanta Hawks didn’t make it
to the Finals; it was a great season nonetheless and the party doesn’t stop!
Speaking of party, there is a FREE draft party on June 25th where we
see who the Hawks pick at #15 to make our city’s team that much more explosive
and dangerous! Doors open at 6 pm, so be sure to register in advance to
guarantee your spot in advance on Hawks.com. An RSVP guarantees express entry. Food and
beverages will also be available for purchase at select concession stands in
the arena. And in case you are truly a fan, the Hawks own picks No. 50 and No.
59 also.
Hip Sips
I also got some spirits on deck! Here is a recipe and a
few bottles that will surely bring a smile to Pop’s face including this gangster
cocktail made with Van Gogh Oranje Vodka
justly called Vincent's Manmosa, a more manly version of the Mimosa:
Vincent's
Manmosa
12 oz. Wheat
Beer (e.g. Hoegaarden)
1 oz. Van
Gogh Oranje Vodka
3 oz.
Fresh Orange Juice
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with fresh ice then
strain into a pint glass. Garnish with an orange wheel.
Or how about an eight-year-old Canadian rye whisky
expertly blended with fine Amontillado Sherry from the Jerez region of Spain?
Look no further than Tap Rye Sherry Finished 8 Year Old Canadian Whisky!
For a sweet, smooth and absolutely delicious snifter
filler, go with the Tap 357 Canadian Maple Rye Whisky, boasting the blend
of cask-aged 3-, 5- and 7-year old rye whiskies and pure maple syrup from
Quebec!
Custom Bottle Opener
Make Dad a customized bottle opener. Just go here, send them
an image and he will be poppin’ bottles literally with a customized utensil he
can truly call his own. I got one made with my logo and totally dig it!
AmaWaterways’ 2015 BeerCruise on December
14
I had a ball with AmaWaterways and will continue to show
love after experiencing their Tulips
BeerCruise touring the Netherlands two months ago. (See some of my coverage
here.) It was phenomenal thanks to
the staff, eventful agenda, and gangster breweries we visited along the way.
Well there is another one on deck (Ha!): AmaWaterways’
2015 BeerCruise is set to sail on December 14 from—get
this—Prague, aboard their AmaPrima. Beer expert, writer and my
homey Don Russell aka “Joe Sixpack”
out pf Philly will be hosting this one. Dad will LOVE you even more, trust me! Pricing
for the Beer Cruise onboard AmaPrima starts
at $2,899 per person. Here’s
the info.
Happy Father’s Day to all who apply. I hope this helps!
Cheers!
Ale
