Thursday 2/14 – it’s bizness time. i’m not working. but i’ll probably show up at Good Karma again to hear some awesome love jams during Covers Night. you should do the same.

Friday 2/15O’Flaherty’s: Epic Tap Takeover at O’Flahertys. We are going to be pouring 9. Yes! NINE different Lagunitas flavors through these faucets all day long. Come kickstart your Friday night with us here.

Friday 2/15SmokeEaters San Jose & Cupertino: Maximus and Hop Stoopid will be featured at both locations all day long during their Double IPA Festival. Go kill your pallette with some nuclear hot sauce and bring it back to life with some hoppy beers.

Saturday 2/16Wicked Chicken: This promises to be the best day you’ll never remember. $5 for your first beer and you get to take the mason jar home with you. Bring the 16oz mason jar back to the bar and your refill is only $3 all day long or until the beer is gone. We will be tapping all 9 of our beer week flavors at this event. If you finish a pint of all nine flavors I’ll buy you your tenth round and make sure you get in a cab safe and sound.

Sunday 2/17Liquid Bread: Beer Cocktails. These cats take beer cocktails to a whole new level. Starting with their version of a beer-y bloody mary for brunch and several other concoctions to enjoy throughout the day.
