August 2009

August is a bit of a turning point. The year’s more than halfway over, the tropics will soon make life a tad more interesting for us, the kids are heading back to school, and Football Season is just around the corner. We’re looking forward to seeing you come out to support your favorite team! We’ll have the same great (if not better!) food and beer that you’ve come to expect, twelve televisions and every football sports package that we can find.

Rewinding to two Saturdays ago, we’d like to thank everyone who stopped by for our Craft Beer Tasting on July 25^th. We ended up pouring hundreds of samples of some of the best beer that’s ever been tapped in this county. It seemed as everyone had a great time; we certainly did! Stay tuned to your Coasters Publication or Coastersbrewpub.com for future beer tastings.

If you missed our beer event last month, don’t fret, as we have another amazing draught beer release planned for you this month:

The 13^th Anniversary Showdown: Lagunitas vs. Stone – August 13th

Thirteen years ago in California, two daring breweries started their operations: Stone Brewing in San Diego, and Lagunitas Brewing in Petaluma, which is 40 miles North of San Francisco. Both of these well-respected breweries are known for producing bold, assertive beers and, to this day, they both continue to push the limits of brewing. Each year, both breweries brew an Anniversary Ale to commemorate another year in business.

Many craft brewers use their Anniversary Ales to showcase their brewing prowess, and these beers are no exception.

The Stone and Lagunitas Anniversary Ales are quite hard to find on draught, especially on the East Coast. Only six kegs of Stone 13^th Anniversary and just sixteen kegs of Lagunitas “Lucky 13” made their way into the Sunshine State. If my math works out, that’s barely one keg per million Floridians.

Both beers are Imperial Red Ales, a flavorful, and high octane combination of malt and hops. Stone Brewing claims that they used the more hops per barrel to brew this 13^th Anniversary Ale than in any other beer they’ve ever brewed. Both beers are getting fantastic ratings among Californian beer geeks, so if you’re a fan of bold, flavorful beers you will not want to miss these creations! So, where could one find such special and elusive brews?

Well...

Starting Thursday, August 13^th you’ll find Stone 13^th and Lagunitas Lucky 13 on tap at Coasters Pub. Due to huge demand and rarity, these are likely the only kegs of these beers ever to make their way into our county, so try them while they last!

Monday Night Trivia Season 3 is Winding Down

We’d like to thank this season’s Monday Night Trivia teams for making this season the most memorable so far.  We’re in Week 11 out of 12 for this season’s league, and it looks like The Monkey Fighters have clinched the 1^st place spot in this season’s game, while The Bulldogs and Jagertron are both neck-and neck, battling for second place.

It’s been a great season filled with fun, music, and the celebration of absolutely obscure and trivial information. While this season will be over in a scant few weeks, we’ll be re-starting the trivial madness shortly! Stay tuned for details! If you haven’t joined us yet, this will be your chance to get a group of friends together and answer questions such as:

“How many teams in the four professional sports leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL) are based outside the continental United States?”

Live Music Fridays

Every Friday night, we’re still bringing you some of the best live music you’ll find beachside. All music on Friday nights start at 8:30pm. Here’s our lineup for the remainder of the month:
