What's a Drinkabout, you ask?
Drink⋅a⋅bout [ drink-uh-bout ] -noun 1. an informal bus ride taken by members of the communities of Normal Heights, North Park, South Park and beyond, for the purpose of drinking without driving, sampling the wares at multiple local establishments, and being seen by the public.
So here is how it will go down. Each month, 2 lovely buses (Brewery Tours of San Diego) will cruise a loop, stopping repeatedly at EIGHT craft-beer bars and restaurants. You are free to hop on and hop off wherever and whenever you desire starting at about 7pm, at NO COST TO YOU!
The wonderful beer establishments included in this junket? Blind Lady Alehouse, Small Bar, Livewire, Toronado, Sea Rocket, The Station, Hamilton's, & Ritual Tavern. So if you live in Normal Heights you may want to start at Blind Lady, and then hop on and cruise to another part of town to drink, hopping back when you're done and avoiding driving altogether. And likewise, if you live in South Park, check out other parts of town without pesky parking. It's also a great time to check out any places you haven't tried yet, but have been meaning to. All in all, a fun time and the rides are free! The NEXT one is WEDNESDAY, JAN 20th. Check out Drinkabout on facebook for details and bus schedules! (Lee Chase, Blind Lady)

Now that the wreckage of 2009 is past us, here's wishing Greendrinkers a Happy New Year. May 2010 be filled with health, happiness and progress for all. For January, GreenDrinks returns to our old stomping grounds of North Park, where the craft beer flows like wine.
As the name suggests, Home Brews and Gardens is a neighborhood shop for the home brewer and gardener. Whether you’re making wine, brewing beer or growing heirloom tomatoes; Brett, Dennis and Marty have what you need: great top-quality supplies, expert brewing and growing lessons and tips and tricks to make your brews and plants come out great.
They promise fine local beer for us, and maybe even food from special guests to be named later, and a good time is assured. They're looking forward to seeing us, and I think this will be a great one. Who knows - you might learn to grow the food for the next event, or be inspired to be the next great brewmaster to provide us beer!
