NOTE: This will last as long as there's beer left in the keg, so remember to check back!
$10 for a pint of Abita Purple Haze?
You bet, and with all proceeds to be donated to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.
On Tuesday afternoon, we’re tapping a keg of Abita Purple Haze, a raspberry wheat ale brewed near New Orleans.
20-oz. Imperial pints will be sold for $10, with all proceeds earmarked for disaster relief. There are approximately 95 pints in a keg, so when the keg’s dry, we’ll probably round off the contribution at $1,000.
As a side note, it would appear that Abita, maker also of the justly renowned Turbo Dog, escaped major damage, but there's no word yet on Dixie and Crescent City Brewing.
At first glance, i thought you were reflecting the quotidian gouging that was SOP on Bourbon Street for all libations, not just "that foreign stuff." I still feel like hell but may just find the strength to swing by tonight for such a genuine cause. Good move, friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jon, I thought you were making a funny. Progressive idea RAB.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of friends who are literally driving supplies down to Gulfport for a couple of former Southern Indiana residents who are living down there now. Their family alone accounts for eleven homes that were partially or totally destroyed.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested in donating beyond NABC's generous effort, please feel free to email me at the address in my profile. They're collecting supplies at a local church parking lot on Wednesday evening and leaving Friday morning.
Thanks. I'll see you at Richo's this evening.
