A New and Improved Friday...

Well here we are again, kids! Another Friday, another pile of beers before us! And a long, holiday weekend to boot! Life Is Good!


Those of us in the crew that get "pink" paychecks will actually be taking off and getting there a bit early (2pm) so don't hesitate, don't be late because you will have some catching up to do right off the bat!

Isn't that a great shot? Got that from an interesting website mentioned this morning on NPR. It was "found" as it were... I particularly thought of us because the description said "...You get the sense it's Friday night and the party has just started." That's right NOW! Only Blink is better looking than her... ;-) Checkout Found Magazine

A Pants Weekend to Remember..

Well, what a great weekend and another fantastic performance by our friends, The Town Pants! A great show both Friday and Saturday with some terrific audience participation. A goodly number of beers and a great time was had by all. This was the last Town Pants appearance in the Pacific Northwest for several months and they did not disappoint. We will be organizing a road trip to go out and see them in Montana when they come back our way in October. Stay tuned for details.

In the meantime, here are a couple of snapshots of the FB crew enjoying the TP show...

A Friday Night Party

Well it's Friday night and we're ready to rock!
Time to get all the hits, the beers and the shots.
The Town Pants and Virginia are ready to play.
Cuz It's a Friday Night party that's comin' your way.

We gotta get ready, we gotta get right
Cuz Seattle FridayBeers is kickin off tonight!

So get ready. I mean, GET READY!!

Are you ready for some Drinkin?! A Friday night party!

We've got Chris, Keith and Sean.
They're gonna get it kick started.
Jake and the crew's all set. The crowd is psyched.
Cuz all my rowdy friends are heading out tonight!

Here it is! the official announcement for the The Town Pants show.

Plan on going that's not a request. See post below for location and special invitation from the bands lead whistler, Dr. Aaron Chapman.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Dr. Aaron Chapman!

Well folks, this is it... The weekend of the 23rd/24th is the Season Finale Cliffhanger episode of the Town Pants show.Why?... Who killed Laura Palmer? Who shot JR? Bah, those are insignificant compared how many shots it will take to shoot Dave? "24 with Keifer Sutherland" will become "Two-Four" for Duane? How many malibu rum & cokes will it take for Virginia to completely collapse into giggling, and how will your humble narrator be able to make it through it all.
But seriously folks, we're not going to see you fine folks in Emerald City for awhile, as we fly back east for a slew of shows in the northeast for a spell this summer.We'll all miss you of course, but the time ought to fly by fairly quickly. And by the time we come back you ought to be hearing a bunch more new songs and a bit of a sneak peak for whatever we're going to cook up for a little new record.So we hope you can all make it down and have a few laughs and a bit of a sing at some fine west coast celtic roots rock...

June 23rd/24th 2006 The band returns to the scene of the crime at the opulent spectacle of the venerable Owl & Thistle stage down on gorgeous post alley... So come on down if you're in the neighbourhood...

Cheers,
Aaron

FridayBeers T-Shirt

I think its time we do this.


This of course is a very rough draft and I think we should have a real logo but you get the idea. Time to get those creatvie juices flowing and lets make this happen.

Change of venue this week or Redhook again?

So, Tim and I were talkin' last week and he mentions that it might be nice to hit up The Parlor (a billiards bar) in downtown Bellevue. Whaddy'all think? Do we feel like hittin' up Redhook since it's been a couple of weeks, or should we go for something different and play some billiards and expand our drink options (75 different martinis!)?

Chime in with your thoughts in the comments section!

Oh, by the way, this is all academic for me since i'll still be in boston, but i wanted to get the ball rolling on this decision so we could get the word out to as many people as possible.

Cheers from Boston,

Paul

Friday beers from my blackberry

Well folks its another Friday already! I'm not gonna lie my week has been a bit of hell.
The beer Tim and my self made is ready and some of us have already tried it. Don't feel left out if you don't get any this batch 5 gal only goes so far. Tim and I will be making more very soon. Once we get some skill under our belt the process will be faster.
In the mean time let's enjoy a beer at red hook and don't forget to fill out your comment cards requesting you favorite brew that might not be on tap. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Start Spreading the Word!!

Damn!

Holy Crap, what a shitty day! I need a beer! In fact, i damn near started drinking at lunch!

Wow! Friday Beers Baby!!!

Man I am excited for Friday beers this week! There is so much going on with everyone it seems as though we don’t get to chat and hang out as much as we used to. It feels like graduation all over again. But I always know there is Friday Beers! The Security group had a li’l something going on downtown last week so they had a beer or 6 at a different location, but it’s all good. We will be going to Redhook this Friday pounding back a few beers talking about work, girls, cars, computers, girls, food, Music, Girls!, and maybe planning a little bit for up coming events. Ok now I really feel like a high school graduate; did I mention girls? Ok well that’s if for this week keep an eye out for news about the Pants coming back to town the end of this month!

Timothy Sankey's Fully Tapped Keg

Drop your cocks and grab your socks....Today... is Friday! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty!

Brewmaster Chris will tell you about how the free world will conquer terrorism with the aid of God and a few beers! God has a hard-on for beer because it tastes so good when it hits your lips! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep the fridge packed with fresh cases! God was here before beer! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Hops! Do you ladies understand?

Outfuckingstanding!!

You will not spill, you will not cry, you will learn by the numbers, I will teach you! It is your drinker's instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in brewhouse. Your glass is only a tool. It is a hard liver that kills. If your drinking instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not drink. You will become sober and then you will be in a world of shit because a fridaybeers guy is not allowed to sober without permission. Do you maggots understand?

Sound off like you got a pair!... Well, I'll be damned. You DON'T have a pair!

If you ladies drink at my brewery, if you survive beer training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of drunken coolness. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am drunk you will not like me. But the more you drink the more you will learn. I am drunk but I can stand. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-drinkers who do not pack the gear to drink my beloved beer. Do you maggots understand that?

Tonight, you men will sleep with your beer. You will give your beer a girl's name because this is the only pussy you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging ol' Mary J. Rottencrotch through her pretty pink panties are over! You're married to this glass. This weapon of barley and hops. And you will be faithful.

Pray!!

"This is my Beer. There are many like it but this one is mine. Beer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without beer, my glass is useless. Without beer I am useless. I must drink my glass dry . I must pour straighter than my friends, who are trying to spill on me. I must drink mine before he drinks his. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my beer and myself are drinkers of the kegs, we are the masters of the hops, we are the saviors of life. So be it, until there is no beer, only empties. Amen."

You gotta love da yeast!!!

OK thats just weird I know, but there is a reason for it. Tim and I are brewing our next batch of beer this Sunday and if you don't love the yeast the yeast wont love you back. Happy yeast makes good beer, both in Alc. content and later during bottling with Fizz. Ok that was fun...

The real reason I have brought you all here is that Fridaybeers will be at our normal Redhook location tonight. Please feel free to drop a line in the comment section, and let us know what you think.

Town Pants. Friday or Saturday?

Owl & Thistle Pub 808 Post Alley Seattle WA.
April 14th & 15th

For a map click here

OK I'm Just going to Add to Paul's original great post so we can keep the comments going, which you should all check by the way we had a special guest pay us a visit. So far Friday is the Big Town Pants night! Everyone is in agreement that Friday will be the part to end all party's at the Owl and Thistle.
-Chris

Hey, i know it's a bit early since they aren't showing up til the 14th and 15th, but i vote for us showing up on the 14th at the Owl for Friday Beers meets the Town Pants.

Friday Pants? Town Beer?

-Paul

Finally... Another Friday.

They never seem to come around enough. It feels like you have to wait a whole WEEK between fridays which, to me, is just simply too long. I would propose that we lobby congress to just do away with Tuesdays (I mean really. Who honestly LIKES a TUESDAY?) and put a second Friday in the lineup. I think everyone will be happier with that.

But whatever. Today is Friday. Hell Yeah. Let's go have a beer. Let's go to the place where the beer is good, the drive is close (for most of us anyway) and the waitresses (for some strange reason) actually like us.

Red Hook anyone?

Thank God we are not in Texas.

What a great week it has been, and when I say that what I really mean is "Thank God it's Beerday". I don't know about the rest of you but I am so glad it's Beerday I could drink a whole liter.

Well it looks as though it is back to Redhook this week to frolic and play with our old friends Cooper, and ESB. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Tim will be eating free tonight because he knew not just the color and style of a beautiful woman's drawers but the fabric it was made with! That guy has balls for getting that kind of info from a woman, and he didn't even take her home!

OK well That's it for this week I hope everyone has a good time tonight and we will see you next time with a beer in your hand and a song in your heart(Paul please keep it in your heart and don't sing again). Cheers!

Drunkard's Log BeerDate 60317.4-1/2 urp

Medical Log, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Russell reporting

Dr. Russell after extensive research on the phemoninon the reported by Captain Timothy R Sankey, of the United Federation of Drunkards, Captain of the Brewship Enterprise.... I have come to the following conclusions:
1) Resistance IS Futile
2) Staring at the "Jubblies" can be educational (Medically speaking of course)
3) The alien creature's on this planet come in two types
a. female (broken down into many sub-types)
i. Amazingly beautiful (requiring more research)
ii. Average cute (much more accessable, much more willing to experiment)
iii-xxx. Others (not enough research completed to classify)
b. male (broken down into many sub-types, mainly un interesting, will be assigning a researcher to them later)
4) The entire landing party has been affected by the unusual amber liquid and hypnotic creatures servicing there needs
5) I concure with Mr. Miller the amber is safe for consumption but I am concerned with what appears to be differant affects on each of the crew members.
a. many of the crew become "loud" in thier conversations
b. communications become difficult and at times incomperhencable
c. the strange occurrences reported by the landing party are in fact happening and the "Road Runner" flash back reported and then deleted from his log is a telephathic image projected on to his brain
d. In addition to the "Road Runner" flash back there seems to be projections of complete but sometimes incredable alien events which the entire landing party acquieseces too
e. an incredible urges ( more resreach in this area may be difficult due to the men's proffessionalizm)
6) While not treatable I believe this plant is causing a break down in discipline but a tremendous rise in physical...... and morale

'Tis the season... Of BEER!

Ah, the Luck-o-the-Irish smiles upon us this year... The confluence of St Patty's Day and Friday Beers is a marriage made in heaven! Where will all the lads and lasses be celebrating our favorite patron saint of all things alcohol this year? (Well, the lasses is all we really care about...) I believe the idea of the Owl and Thistle may have come up. I would second that motion were it to be made. Or if it were not, I would put forth that motion. Other ideas? What's the plan, lads?

Will the ladies of Redhook miss us too much, were we to patronize another pub on the biggest drinking night of the year? Or would a little absence make the heart(s) grow fonder? Eh? :-)

Beer, Beer, We all like BEER!!

Today is?...Friday?? Hmm Yes I think it is. RedHook is the place where the cool hang out, The Geeks like to drink and the Chicks flaunt...Racks? Well OK it doesnt rhyme but I like where it was going. Be there or be square!

Drunkard's Log BeerDate 59630.7

Redhook Command has directed the Enterprise to do a preliminary exploration of the brewery --- in advance of a full research team. Sensors report the place to be habitable, but are receiving confusing readings with regard to female life forms. I am beaming down with a landing party composed of all our chief officers except for poor Scotty. (he never shows)

Drunkard's Log, Supplemental:

Ensign Brunson has received a head injury, apparently while exploring under a table. He reports only hearing a loud sound and jumping before being struck. After examination by Dr. Russell he has been judged capable of continuing duty.

Drunkard's Log, Supplemental:

We have encountered an alien creature on this planet. While it does not itself seem menacing, a fortunate occurrence took place when it was present. Specifically, on my orders, Lt. White drew his glass. The creature (of amazing beauty) filled it will an amber bubbly liquid, immediately following a curious white foam appeared at the top. He drank. Oddly enough, Lt. White started showing signs of disorietation and started to slur. Mr. Miller determined that the effects of the liquid were benign and deemed it safe for comsumption. Lt White has been sent back to the ship for examination and quarantine.

Drunkard's Log, Beerdate 59633.3:

The strange occurrences that have dogged the landing party since our arrival at this brewery have led me to believe that the creature is in some way directly responsible for them. Lt White and Ensign Brunson have both been declared fit for return to duty, though Dr. Russell has entered in his medical log that he feels we should be kept under observation. Mr. Chris has constructed a device which he suspects should be able to counteract the creature's incredible concoction: We have placed a dish of birdseed out in the open, with several signs pointing to it. The dish is atop a cleverly concealed trap door, which will open when any weight falls on it. The creature will then travel a slide, eventually being deposited in a cage constructed of sheets of transparent aluminum. We will then be free to analyze it at our leisure. Wait a minute that was an episode of Road Runner...Computer please remove last 5 min of log. Meanwhile, I have forbidden all beaming down to the floor of the bar except on my or Mr. Chris's direct order.

Drunkard's Log, Supplemental:

The plan failed. The creature was indeed too enticing to be ignored, as expected. It filled the glasses, brought us food, and sped off without succumbing to my lines of flirtation. Mr. Miller is as puzzled as I, and the decision was made to give in to the power of females serving beer and screw the mission

Drunkard's Log, Beerdate 59644.2:

This is a warning to all other starships that may pass this way. Do not approach this Brewery unless you have nothing else to do! If you have heard the events transcribed in the rest of this log, you will learn that this creature is nearly undefeatable. We have been overcome with the urge to stay and drink and drink and drink and stare at Jubblies. Resistance is Futile

Captain Timothy R Sankey, of the United Federation of Drunkards, Captain of the Brewship Enterprise, recording.
