Ben Kweller singing Happy Birthday to Riot Room to a capacity crowd. 5 years in business and many more to come! On behalf of all of us, we are truly grateful to be a part of your lives.

WATCH.

Have you all done some life pondering for the new year? Consider pondering only living life to the fullest, without doing bodily harm of course. We’ve had one hell of a year for live music and it won’t stop there. If you love to dance and endure the feeling of low end, mixed with delicious alcoholic drinks, then you must come to the Nug life event on NYE!

As you many are aware, we carry some of the very best in craft and domestic beers as well as rare seasonal brews from around the world. There is nothing like going into a live music venue and getting not only great quality brews, but tons of “A” list bands and live performances. To stay up with special offers, feel free to join our newsletter on the front page.

Our new Gulden Draak tower is operational and online, upping the tap count at The Riot Room to 52!  This tower will feature Gulden Draak along with other Belgian rotators.

Gulden Draak is a dark brown Triple Ale, which makes it an exception among the Belgian Triples. The second fermentation offers the nice creamy head, the full body and all the vitamins of the centuries old brewers yeast. It is a “thick” beer, that you can actually “eat” to adventure the complex taste. Gulden Draak balances a natural malt toffee-like sweetness with a mellow happiness and some hoppy accents. The aroma is round, sweet and reveals the 10.5 alcohol by volume.

Come down and have a beer!

From Wikipedia –

“420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. The notable day for these is April 20.

The term was allegedly coined by a group of teenagers in San Rafael, California in 1971. Calling themselves the Waldos, because “their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school,” the group first used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about. The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase “4:20 Louis”. Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply “4:20”, which ultimately evolved into a codeword the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general.

High Times Creative Director Steven Hager was the first person to track down the Waldos and publish their account of the origins of the term. Hager wrote “Are You Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid?” (October 1998) in which he called for 4:20 p.m. to be the socially accepted hour of the day to consume cannabis. “I believe 420 is a ritualization of cannabis use that holds deep meaning for our subculture,” wrote Hager. “It also points us in a direction for the responsible use of cannabis.””

Our 420 celebration will feature and inside show with Marasmus, The Roman Holiday, & Ancient Creation and a patio show with Arm The Poor, Higher Empathy Movement, & Voodoo Method. Both shows start at 9pm, red eyes welcome.
