Decade of Draught – Houston FS turns 10

CaptKeith — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:52:25 +0000

The Flying Saucer in Houston has been through a lot in Ten Years. We opened the doors just prior to construction of the Light Rail downtown at Capital and Main. A number of our neighbors had to close shop while this major construction was going on. The Saucer held strong which says a lot for good beer. Since then, we’ve seen the Super Bowl, All Stars games and plenty of concerts to rev up business downtown.

The Saucer is now a thriving beer joint and we owe our success to a fantastic team headed up by the one and only Jake Rainey AND a incredibly loyal group of Beerknurds. Thanks to everyone for Ten years of pouring great beers.

To celebrate, Jake and his gang have come up with a fun filled day of rare beer tappings. The scoop:

This Wednesday at 5 PM we will be tapping a cask of Ska Nefarious Ten Pin (Easter) Porter for you to enjoy.

The ”Easter” porter has some special priming sugar to reinvigorate the active yeast cells in the firkin. See below….

Never has this beer been seen outside of Durango and we have procured this special firkin for the beer savvy peeps that have been coming down to The Moth. This beer will not last the night, so come down early. I will be there to share a pint with you.
