For $1,000, Pop’s Sea Bar Offers Free Beer For Life

Pop’s Sea Bar in Adams Morgan has a rather unusual offering for twenty of its patrons: Pay $1,000 and get free beer and prosecco for life. 

“For $1000, you will receive a personalized VIP Member Card that entitles the owner to free beer (or Prosecco) for life!” the site for the promotion reads. “Just show the card anytime you come in and all of your beer is free for that visit. The card never expires, and you are welcome to use it as often as you like.”

The restaurant and bar that serves beach shack fare was opened by Justin Abad, co-owner of Cashion’s Eat Place, and John Manolatos in early September. The promotion is limited to twenty people and it’s non-transferable, so you can’t go in and get beers on the house for all your friends. 

Most beers at Pop’s run $6 a pop, so if you think you’ll drink more than 167, this could be the promotion for you.

Lets Talk Beer Cocktails !

Colorado super-brewer Avery has created their impressively dangerous, limited-edition, Belgian-style The Beast before, but it's never hit 18% ABV until this year. So in honor of that, we rounded up some other beasts we know to give it the ol' you-would-never-drink-this-in-college try.

The Beer Advocate rates this 18 percent BEAST at 86  read reviews HERE,  add 1 1/2 oz blackcurrant syrup to 12oz of The Beast for a wicked winter cocktail.

Redneck Mother
1 oz Rio Star ruby red grapefruit juice (fresh-squeezed!)
.75 oz sloe gin (Get the Plymoth, if you can. It's a bit hard to find, but completely worth it. If you can't hunt down the Plymoth, use a bit less, as other brands tend to be sweeter.)
Lone Star beer
Ginger beer

Add the sloe gin and grapefruit juice to the bottom of a pint glass (or mason jar). Fill the remaining portion of the jar halfway with Lone Star and top with ginger beer.

1 oz Galliano
