    It’s been almost a year since both Cigar City and Tequesta took over the taps of Coffee District for a wildly successful event.  Well tomorrow the two Florida breweries team up again to take over the the handles at Sweetwater Grill & Bar in Boynton Beach.  Sweetwater may not have as many taps as some but that doesn’t mean the quality of brews flowing through the lines won’t be on point.  Here are  few things to expect to see.

    • Tequesta Rushing Imperial Stout
    • Tequesta Belgian Quad aged on Oak
    • Tequesta Julio’s Saison with Camomille, Lemon Peel
    • Tequesta Gnarly Barrel cask, Dry Hopped with Caliente Hops
    • Cigar City Humidor IPA
    • Cigar City Ligero
    • Cigar City Peach IPA

    And if that doesn’t top it off there will be a number of dishes specially created tomorrow night just for these beers.  You can buy them all al a carte if you so desire and make your own little beer and food pairing.  Phil from CCB and Kenny from TCB will be there to talk you up on drinking local Florida beers as well.  Things get started at 6 pm.

    Chung’s Birthday Kegger on Saturday

    For those of you that don’t know, and maybe consider yourself lucky, Chung Seo is the proprietor of the outstanding craft beer spot Coffee District in Delray Beach.  And also if you don’t know, Chung likes to party.  So Chung and the gang at CD have decided to have a bash like no other to celebrate Chung’s birthday.  I mean he’s turning like 40 or something (Editor Note: It’s actually 32).  But this isn’t just any ordinary party it will be a good ol’ fashioned kegger.

    Now by most accounts and purposes these sorts of things are not my bag.  Thinking of a keg in the middle of a crowded room instead of in a kegerator just reminds me of money and time lost on college.  But this is the Coffee District.  There will be plenty of craft beer flowing (as well as kegger favorite PBR) all night.  There will be pitcher and drink specials to boot.

    But the fun comes in that the CD will be turned into the back patio/dining room of your typical college lunk head.  A ping pong table for beer pong, flip cup, corn hole and card games galore.

    The party starts at 7 pm so be ready.  And some words of advice.  Don’t drink and drive.  Party responsibly.  And most importantly, do NOT go anywhere with Chung after the party.  You will only be asking for trouble.  But don’t take my word for it.  Maybe you like lying on the old Atlantic High School football field staring at stars at 4 in the morning.  You’ve been warned.

    And I’m Back

    Let me just tell you that I hate AT&T.  As I stated in my last posting I was without internet up until yesterday.  This was because my AT&T modem decided life was too difficult being a modem and ended itself.  AT&T tech support as well as their billing told me that I must buy a replacement modem from them for $100.  I obviously refused this because this was their modem that I never paid for to start with.  I understand if this was my modem but they gave it to me and they should replace it.  Well they refused to say the least.

    Fast forward to yesterday and I get my new Comcast internet service installed no problems and I call to cancel my AT&T.  The sweet woman that I spoke with just seemed in utter shock of my story and said they certainly should have given me a modem for free and she even offered to do so as a last ditch effort to keep me and even offered to match the price that I got with Comcast, which isn’t that much cheaper.  But where the hell was this sort of customer service the week before?  I talked to two different people that refused to give me a new modem unless I pay $100.  I appreciate the kind offer from the kind woman but I just stuck with the Comcast.

    Anyway I’ll be back to blogging this week.  I have already updated the events page with some upcoming events, some of which I’ll talk about more in depth later this week.

    Thanks for sticking with me through this.  Cheers to all, except AT&T.
