Tonight: Watch a brewer get tatooed, drink cheap beer
To celebrate the re-branding of its in-house brews, the Pratt Street Ale House (pictured) is throwing a 3 Lions Tattoo Party tonight.
On or about 8 p.m., Oliver Ales brewer Steve Jones will unveil a kilderkin (a 21.6 gallon cask) of oak-aged 3 Lions Strong Brown Ale.
To show his support for the ale, and the symbol of the three lions, Jones is having the logo tattooed on his right forearm tonight at the bar, courtesy of Art With a Pulse.
"I shall be wearing it with pride," Jones said ...
Jones has a few other tattoos, including a dragon and some Chinese birth year symbols. The 3 Lions tattoo won't be huge, but it will be "sizable," Jones told me. Now that's dedication. I hear they're even going to be video-taping the tattooing. I'll see if I can post a photo of the finished product later this week.
Of course, there will also be some drink specials at tonight's event, including $3 pints of Oliver Ales, giveaways of Oliver Brewery pint glasses and 3 Lions T-shirts, and a $50 gift certificate to Art With A Pulse.
Sweet.
