Carmy Wepsic ***** SlBYC member and Music Director Contact: Carmy16@aol.com / 714-747-3883 We Now Have Six Draft Beers! Officer Of the Deck Assignments Brought to you by Phil Novodvorsky, OD Coordinator Three new beers arrived recently for a better mix of draft beer available for you. Coors Light $3 – Highly Requested Blue Moon $4 – Belgian White, with Citrus Ballast Point Sculpin IPA $5 – A Hoppy beer, but on the light side Budweiser, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Dos XX will round out our stable of beers for now. Enjoy these beers as we test these looking for the right mix of beverages for you. Any suggestions are welcome, e-mail Bar Captain Bill Hodge at whodge@gradportraits.com. Bud Light is now available in bottles. Some of you will be disappointed we replaced the draft version. However, the smallest keg of Bud Light is a quarter keg (90 pounds-it almost weighs as much as some of our bartenders) and took up the same cooler space as the three new 1/5 kegs. Next time you're at the club, check out our new beers and let me know what you think. Cheers!
