CityBeat's Beer Club takes over The South Park Abbey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The South Park Abbey<\/a> is one of our favorite haunts. It’s right up the block from West Coaster<\/em> Graphic & Web designers Josh & Brittany<\/a>, serves great beer\/food at fair prices, and has a friendly & relaxed vibe. On the night of January 5th, CityBeat<\/a><\/em> had other plans<\/a> for the South Park Abbey.<\/p>\n

CityBeat<\/em>‘s Beer Club met from 7-9PM. The beer? AleSmith’s<\/a> ESB and X. $1 pours.<\/p>\n

I was mortified at the scene of a line going around the corner of the Fern St. fixture, but thankfully I got inside before the South Park Abbey reached capacity. Upon entering I saw Adam Neitzke, one of the proprietors, hurriedly moving about like a captain securing the hatches in a sudden squall.\u00a0 “Some party you throw!” I yelped over the crowd. “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SERVE $1 BEERS,” he managed before disappearing back to the bar.<\/p>\n

The madness of the line, capacity, and crowds suddenly made sense. With the realization in mind, I muscled my way towards the bar. To the left and right of me people were waving their arms about like stock traders on the NYSE, so I followed suit. Soon I was armed with a AleSmith ESB, and I got to work.<\/p>\n

I found CityBeat’s<\/em> Advertising Account Exec Jason Noble, and asked him how this Beer Club stacked up against the others. “This is the craziest [Beer Club] by far. We had 450 RSVPs, and normally you can count on half of the RSVPs not showing – this time over half showed. I think this huge turnout is thanks to the neighborhood craft beer scene & the pedestrian setting of South Park.”<\/p>\n

I asked him for more information regarding the clandestine craft beer collective and its next meet-up, and he declined comment. The first rule of Beer Club is that you do not talk about Beer Club… <\/em><\/p>\n
