Ever Been To A Beer Breakfast?

Ever Been To A Beer Breakfast?

It is sometimes referred to as “kegs and eggs” in the vernacular of irreverent bar owners. However, ‘kegs and eggs’ is somebody else’s name. We are celebrating the summer solstice, which also roughly coincides with our birthday. We call it Solstice Party & Beer Breakfast. And it ain’t just eggs. It’s a spread.

Starting 8AM, Saturday, June 20, we present you with a virtual get out of jail free card. You can have beer at breakfast (or whatever you want, actually) and nobody will look at you twice, or utter a snide remark like ‘Look at Lillian over there; isn’t that a beer on the table? Is it 8 o’clock or did my Apple watch jump to Hawaiian time again?’

And what you may learn by doing this is that beer goes quite well with breakfast. Beer competes well with coffee. A bit too well, which is why we don’t make a habit of this. And we haven’t done this since 2016, by my reckoning. So, we’re ‘good’.

The great fun of it is of course that you get to be bad. Brewers get this guilty pleasure as they taste their beer any time of day – for quality purposes don’t you know… And I suppose wine makers (spitting be damned) and distillers too, have the same privileges. Nobody looks at a clock when imbibing is your job. But what about us? I can’t do that. I’d just get in trouble. People would talk. That dreaded 4-letter word would be bandied about. It begins with ‘l’ and ends in ‘ush’. Can’t take that.

And why would you come? Well, you are invited! You don’t want to be rude. And, if you are among the first 100 at the door you will get a specially printed, Solstice Party beer glass. Also, I’m willing to bet that about 98% of you reading this have never attended a beer breakfast. That’s your ‘in’.

You down? You bad? You here?

Thanks for being here!
