- This image is not a commentary on the quality of local liquor; it falls to you to make any such commentary this week at Liberty.
There are so many new local distilleries making liquor! Also, the weather outside is frightful without fortification, delightful with! So come join some of your favorite drunkards from the staff of The Stranger and take a blind taste test (or three) at the excellent bar Liberty with Washington State Bartenders Guild president Andrew Friedman.
The details:
· 5:30 p.m. to taste with misc. Stranger drunkards (you may do it without us later—or earlier!—just inquire)
· $5 tasting fee
· at Liberty on 15th (in the back room—ask the barkeep how to get in—at 5:30, or anywhere later [or earlier!])
· local vodka = tomorrow (Tuesday)
· local gin = Wednesday
· local wild cards = Thursday (liqueurs, absinthes, who knows what all)
The local liquors to be tasted will be chosen out of a hat, for fairness’ sake; we will taste at least four brands per tasting, probably more.
Sledding afterward, weather permitting, at 13th and Republican (sled at your own risk! Make sure someone’s watching for traffic at the foot of the hill on 12th!!!). See you at Liberty!
Sledding down Republican at 13th seems like an almost certain way to get run over by a car on 12th.
Cheers!
@1 I thought even hall monitors took MLK day off.
People stand at 12th Ave to stop cars and ensure safety for everyone. It’s pretty awesome.
It’s 12:45am, and the screaming and yelling has finally stopped right outside my bedroom window. Good thing I have tomorrow off because of all the snow – oh, no wait, I have to be at work at 7am. Awesome.
I’m all for enjoying the car-less streets and great sledding hills, and 13th and republican is a great one, but please keep it to a decent hour! When I can hear you inside my apartment, through ear plugs, music, and a pillow over my head, and you just laugh at me when I ask you to please quiet down, we have a problem.
