Drink for GOOD!

Have you heard of The Don Bosco Centers here in Kansas City? They have two centers, their Senior Center and their ESL School.

Their Senior Center helps our local senior citizens by giving them a place to meet with friends, providing health check ups, housing assistance, as well as hot meals both at the center and to their home via Meals on Wheels.

The ESL School helps recent immigrants and refugees with learning English and career/trade skills. 

Unfortunately, The Don Bosco Centers took a pretty big hit this winter and had to close eleven times. This left them with a hefty hole in their budget. 

This is where YOU can help! The Don Bosco Centers is hosting a fundraiser May 4th. They will have a bus that travels to four different breweries for free beer and a good time! Who doesn't love either of those things?!

Tickets are $75 but are limited! They can be purchased here. Breweries included are Strange Days Brewing Co., Cinder Block Brewing Co., Brewery Emperial, and Stockyards Brewing Co. Those who purchase tickets will meet the group at the Senior Center for pre-drinks and they will have drinks for everyone ON the bus as well! They will also provide some snacks.

Not only will you get plenty of drinks and have fun, but you'll be helping out a lot of people as well! Win-win!

So, instead of drinking for evil...how about we drink for good?? :) Cheers!

Happy Women's History Month

Hello March! We're now into the third month of the year and during this month we celebrate Women's History! Women have been the backbone to our brewing industry. Women started brewing, they were in charge of the beer. I want to highlight specific breweries* where the beer is brewed by women and/or women owned/ran! Consider visiting these businesses, this month and of course other months during the year! You won't be disappointed!

Parlor KC

Image
Last Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to try out Parlor. A new restaurant concept opening THIS FRIDAY in the Crossroads - 17th and Locust, behind Double Shift ;) It was quite the experience! Seven different restaurants to choose from, two full service bars (one upstairs and one downstairs), several areas to relax, an awesome patio upstairs, and beautiful murals throughout. I had a great time, to say the least. The food. WOW! Incredible. There is something for everyone's tastes there, even my kids' who can be pretty picky. Let's start with the downstairs. When you walk in you are greeted with lovely hosts but also great sitting spaces to just hang out, relax, enjoy. To the right is the living room area. There's a fantastic fireplace with great seating. To the left is more of a lounge/den type area, more seating but also fun pictures of local Kansas Citian's plus books, maps, shirts, and hats. If you walk down the hall from the den area you'll go pa...
