THIS WEEK AT THE GATE!

BOCKS AND BARLEYWINES!

First off... a tip of my cap to the sensible voters in South Caroilina for Senator Barack Obama's sweeping victory in their State's Democratic primary this past Saturday and I'd like to thank all of you who made Pat's Picks this past Wednesday at the Gate an equally sweeping success!

On to Super Tuesday...

Now,

This week we have for you...

Bocks and Barleywines, mostly aged and though I'd like to take credit for this fantastic list, the overwhelming bulk of the credit for this one goes to none other than Gate owner Bobby Gagnon, one of the pioneers of craft beer in NYC and my personal BEER mentor.

From the hold:

Anchor "Old Foghorn" Barleywine
Ramstein Mai-Bock Vintage 2004
Mahr's Der Weissbock Vintage 2005
Sly Fox "Panacea" Barleywine Vintage 2006
Weyebacher "Blithering Idiot" Barleywine Vintage 2006
Brooklyn Smoked Weissbock Vintage 2006
Blue Point "Old Howling Bastard" Vintage 2005


So, Come on down and drink up dese mofos!

And as always kiddies remember:

Patty loves you!

Upcoming:

Next Blog: My dissertation on why I feel that a continuation of the BUSH/CLINTON Aristocracy would be a disaster for this country and why I respectfully and desperately urge all of you to vote for Barack Obama on Super Tuesday.

SUPERBOWL PARTY!

As with Barack I urge you to come on down and root for Big Blue because, although we have a huge Boston contingent in the house, who needs more of the same? Do the Pats really need another Superbowl ring? Besides, I want to protect the Legacy of my childhood favorites Terry Bradshaw, Chuck Noll, the Steel Curtain and the rest of the 70's Steelers from being tarnished by Bill "Spygate" Belichick and Tom "Who's My Girlfriend?" Brady. Oh yeah sure...there was Joe Montana but at least he was a National Champion "Fighting Irishman" before his storied run with the Niners.

Along with football and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers half time show, this party will be catered by the ATLANTIC CHIP SHOP!! So come and git yer football on with a little Shepherd's pie and Branston pickle... And an ALL AMERICAN BEER HAPPY HOUR 'til MIDIGHT!...Yee Haa!
