You might want to take Thursday off, or at least plan on stopping for a big cup of coffee before work, because on Wednesday, Aug. 23, The Sidecar Bar & Grille in Graduate Hospital is hosting a High Gravity Beer Bonanza.

That means all the featured beers are going to be strong, with a high ABV.

Heavy-hitters include Avery Tangerine Quad, Avery Hog Heaven, Bells Expedition, Captain Lawrence Golden Delicious, De Dolle Oerbier, Jacks Abbey Barrel Aged Framinghammer, Lagunitas Dark Swan, Pizza Boy Palate Mallet, Port Brewing Anniversary Ale and Russian River Temptation.

The Beer Bonanza starts at 4 p.m. and doesn't end until 1:30 a.m. Happy hour will still take place from 4-6 p.m., too, for attendees who want half-price appetizers, house cocktails and draft beers.

Wednesday’s event will be the first in a quarterly series celebrating high-ABV beers at Sidecar.
