Just a quick reminder that the Memphis River City Brewers Festival will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2010 with two available tasting sessions at 12pm and 6 pm in downtown Memphis to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. There will be over 70 beers available and live music during each tasting at Handy Park on Beale Street. Tickets are $30 and admission includes beer samples and a souvenir mug.
A good way to follow up the first session or pre-game for the second session will be Downtown's St. Patrick's Day parade. The parade rolls at 4pm on March 13.
Memphians who are Tigers and Maker's Mark fans may have a short lived conflict soon. Maker's Mark is producing 24,000 bottles bearing John Calipari’s face on a blue dipped bottle. Maker’s Mark will donate proceeds from the sales (estimated to be around $300,000) will be donated to the University of Kentucky School of Music and Symphony Orchestra programs.
