Garfield Street Run Down

It's Thursday night and let us be real for a minute, no one (profs included) is too concerned about classes or work on Friday (I don't have class on Fridays), and we all want to go out, unwind, and have some fun. Here is where Garfield Street comes to the rescue; to outsiders it may not seem like much, but to us Lutes here at PLU it is all we need. Garfield Street has been providing us with entertainment for years. For Example, LollaPLUza last year with Macklemore...  

But I digress... Lets start at the beginning of a Thursday night...

For me, it begins at my house. The roomies, a few friends, nothing spectacular but always good music, good company, and good brew. When I buy my beer for the night I try to stick to the NW breweries because it is always best to support the North West (Rhyme was on purpose). I recently tried Widmer Brothers' W'12 Dark Saison; a seasonal beer with a fantastic unique taste (I suggest giving it a try).

After throwing back a few you can usually find us at Farrellis around 10:30pm for Happier Hour; buying pitchers, playing pool, and possibly losing a few bucks to pull-tabs.
Farrellis does not brew their beer, but they do keep a great selection of fantastic brews mostly from the NW. From Mac & Jack's African Amber, to Elysian Men's Room Red, to one of my favorites Ninkasi Total Domination IPA; there is something for everyone.

As the good times roll at Happier Hour it gets closer and closer to that time we all hate to love or love to hate.. but either way the time comes to go to the LAST EXIT. The Exit is unique in that it only serves beer, which is fine for all of us here at Beer Me Bro... it's kind of our thing. So everyone arrives at The Exit and it really gets going around 11:30, then....................................beer........................................................
..........................................................beer.........................................
haha and then......................................................................................
......................................Rack City.............................................then..
.......................................................................................after that......
..........................................................................................................
........last call and we all take a nice walk back to our humble abode.

And I don't want to leave out Felix over at Reyna's. Another great spot to hit before heading to the Exit. Gotta get that $6 beer, shot, and nachos deal obvi. (the use of "obvi" was purely sarcastic and not meant to be taken seriously in any way).

Peace out,

Nothing says Charmin’ like drinkin’ at the Harmon (Brewery)

Beer Me Bro’ ventured off to their first brewery on a journey to create the Northwest 12 Pack, a collection of 12 favorite bars and breweries.  The Harmon Brewery in Tacoma, WA was the first landmark of this expedition. The gang made sure to hop in during Happy Hour and was treated to friendly service and a delicious feast of NW food.
