Fan Fiction Sneak Peek: Here's How

Under Highballs — The Collins & Rickey Families — And Some Others

“Only a general effort has been made to marshall the various drinks into clans whose principal characteristics are similar, mainly with the idea of helping the searcher after new alcoholic thrills find something that his cellar will enable him to try.”

—W.C. Whitfield, Here's How

We’ve gone through Here's How and chosen eight cocktails we think are the cat’s meow, so stay tuned to the blog for swell sneak peeks of what we’ll be slinging at our next Fan Fiction fête on Monday, February 4th, 5pm-2am.

Fan Fiction: Here's How!

Our February edition of Fan Fiction will visit another vintage cocktail manual that takes a lighthearted approach to the art of mixing drinks: the 1941 edition of Here’s How by W.C. Whitfield. The writing and illustrations are engagingly quirky and the drinks appropriately delicious.

Did you know you could make powdered sugar out of regular sugar? Neither did we, until we took a closer look at this fun-spirited (get it?) cocktail book. (For those with an aversion to pre-packaged, pre-powdered products, just put sugar in the blender and boom! Powdered sugar.) While powdered sugar isn’t an ingredient you see often in modern cocktail books, it appears to have been a staple of the everyday home bar a mere 70 years ago.

We’ve gone through and chosen eight cocktails we think are the cat’s meow, so stay tuned to the blog for swell sneak peeks of what we’ll be slinging on Monday, February 4th, 5pm-2am.

Oskar Blues Tap Takeover!

Oskar Blues brews: it's not just your new favorite tongue-twister, it's also your new favorite tap beer at Scofflaw.

Dale Katechis founded the quirky brewpub-turned-regional-craft-brewery inside his original restaurant and music venue in 1999. Three-dimensional brewing since 1999, Oskar Blues began the “Canned Beer Apocalypse” in 2002 when Dale’s Pale Ale became America’s 1st CANNED craft beer.

Now, you will find the southern tap tower at Scofflaw devoted entirely to Oskar Blues in all its kegged glory, all $5 a pint: Mama's Little Yella Pils, Dale's Pale Ale, G'Knight Imperial Red, Old Chub Scotch Ale, and Mr. Robusto Porter.

And while spend some time picking out your favorite Oskar Blues brew, keep an ear pricked for details of our next beer dinner...
