All right, that's it. Shred your tents, ditch your trailers. The best parking lot party of the summer is already happening starting on Monday, April 13.
The Drinking Lot, from the same great people who brought you Bailey's Taproom, will feature three different beers from Surly on Monday, starting at 2 pm. Later in the week, they have Bell's Two-Hearted Ale. These are beers that geeks would give up the tips of their uplifted pinkies to drink.
Thanks to Bailey's owner Geoff Phillips, you can drink these rare and delicious beers in that screwed up used-car lot at the east end of the Burnside Bridge. The one by the mattress store and the "Cash for Cars" Subaru, under the creepy Coors Light sign that says "Feel the Rush of Refreshment." The car lot you've driven past hundreds of times and thought, "Does anybody actually buy cars there?"
The beers will be served with that same digital pour system you get inside the beer bar, in pints and 7-ounce sizes. And they will taste all the sweeter under that Coors sign. On Wednesday and Thursday? Sandwiches from Bunk. Every day? Pizza from Pulehu.
