Last night the bar hosted a tasting party for OMMEGANG ABBEY ALE. I personally looked forward to this event as I am a fan of the Abbey Ale, a great tasting Dubbel beer from upstate Cooperstown, NY. During this event, OMMEGANG allowed you to keep your pint glass after your purchase, which was pretty cool because the glass they offered up was pretty cool.
Call me crazy, but enjoying an Abbey Ale out of such a cool looking glass made me feel like a knight out of a King Arthur movie or something. Very majestic looking indeed.
As I watched the patrons partake in the tasting and going up for seconds and in some cases, thirds, it suddenly dawned on me that these people were drinking a beer with a whopping 8.5 percent ABV! Holy crap, this could get interesting.
Sure enough, once Pub Trivia kicked in, there were more than a few folks who were feeling, let's just say, "feisty". Last night's trivia competition seemed to me a bit more competitive than usual; There were also more than a few instances of folks sporting that familiar "drunken swagger" and the spilling of beers and drinks. Hmmm.. I wonder why? Let's just say the Abbey Ale left its mark on the crowd in more ways than one. And it certainly brought out "the best" in some folks, that's for sure. It definitely made for an interesting night. Holy crap it did!
Note to self: OMMEGANG ABBEY ALE + Pub Trivia = lethal combination!
On a side note, while I appreciate the support you give me and my blog, if you haven't done so yet, check out MURPH GUIDE if you are ever looking for something fun to do in NYC. It's a big city we live in and often times you'll find yourself in the mood for something particular to do. If Third and Long isn't in the cards for you on a particular night, then use MURPH GUIDE as a reference tool; it's great to have and easy to use! They have been great to us and they will be great to you too!
That's it. That's All I Got (for now).
