If you haven’t yet heard (and even if you have), Two Beers Brewing and closed-but-still-cooking Tako Truck have teamed up on a benefit for Haiti that is to be held Saturday, March 6 at 4700 Ohio Avenue South. There is a minimum donation of $20—this buys you four tickets, each ticket is worth a beer or two tacos or three turns in some sort of toss game—all proceeds go to Shelterbox. The event begins at 1pm and is expected to go until around 6pm. Expect DJs.
PS: If you can’t go, maybe consider sending another of those $10 Red Cross text messages (“Haiti” to 90999).

Tonight: Freak out that beer-loving blowhard at work by trying the newest beer from New Belgium (the Colorado microbrewery most famous for its Fat Tire amber ale) before he does. The new brew is called Ranger and features three kinds of hops: Cascade, Chinook, and Simcoe. It will be the first IPA from New Belgium to be sold by the six-pack.
Order one tonight, February 1, at Brouwers, and 100 percent of the sale will go to relief in Haiti. Brouwers offers a happy hour from 3 to 6pm every day and there are food specials, so go early.

Here’s what you are drinking when you order a “Haiti.”

I was wondering what was in the Haiti, that drink at Liberty that owner Andrew Friedman created to benefit relief efforts in Haiti—100 percent of income generated from the cocktail is donated to Mercy Corps or the Clinton Foundation. It costs $6.
Here’s the deal. It’s:
2oz Barbancourt 8yr Rum—from Haiti
.5oz Cynar (an artichoke-flavored Italian liqueur)
.25oz Cointreau
.5oz fresh lime juice
a lime twist
simple syrup to taste

This Sunday, January 24th, half of all profits will go to Doctors Without Borders.

I just called and confirmed that this Sunday, January 24, fifty percent of all food and drink profits earned at La Isla in Ballard will benefit Doctors Without Borders, one of the chief aid organizations helping out in Haiti right now. The Puerto Rican storefront on Market Street joins a number of bars around town who are organizing events around the cause. Will keep you posted as more emerge.
Thanks to the commenter in the earlier post for the lede, please keep me updated on an special events and promos and I’ll be sure to publish.
