Drink Generously -- Today Only!

For today (Monday, February 1st) only, various Decatur businesses will be donating a portion of their proceeds to the American Red Cross for earthquake relief in Haiti. You can see the full list of participants here.

Included are several of my favorite places to enjoy a beer:

• Brick Store Pub -- duh.
• The Marlay House -- formerly The Grange, they're donating not only tonight's proceeds, but those from this past Saturday's renaming party. Awesome.
• Twain's Billiards and Tap -- our closest brewpub -- plus they have trivia tonight at 8pm!
• Universal Joint -- sometimes I forget about them outside of patio season. I shouldn't.
  

Even more heartening for fans of beer (and Decatur)? All of the proceeds raised today will be matched by the Decatur Beer Festival. Impressive, no?

I hope everyone will take this opportunity not only to support the American Red Cross, but to encourage the generosity and kindness of our local businesses. Cheers!
