"PC" Feature Brew Pours Incessantly

BROOKLYN, NY - The Gate has just unveiled a permanent beer line dedicated to the issue of "all things PC and the eradication of the further destruction of the nuances of language". Simply put, the bar will be featuring a draught ale that personifies strength, integrity and a certain character deemed to be best described as unyielding. The beer will be carefully selected and dispensed under the name: "How About a Nice Glass of Shut the F*%#K Up?"
Ask for it by name!
Not sure you will like it?
How About a Nice Little Taste of Shut the F*%#K Up?
Enjoy.

Keep up with the Gate (made easy 'cause of blog & a broken leg)!

Dear Friends and Loyal Readers,
I apologize for not keeping you up to date on the superb beers flowing from our taps! No, I wasn’t nursing the world’s worst hangover from our staff party – although it felt like it!

Rather I was crunched by one of our friendly Brooklyn drivers (right on 5th Ave no less!) who was friendly enough to drive off before asking me if I was ok. Well I am ok (aside from the broken leg, busted shoulder, and freshly scarred forehead). So if you don’t see me behind the bar for a time, this is why.

But I pledge to keep you, loyal readers, up to date on what my fellow barkeeps are pouring from our taps for your gustatorial pleasures.

Without further ado, our beer list this week:

1. Guinness - Dublin
