Over 200 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Over 200 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Most venues have a certain character or persona that you can quickly identify. We formulate these personas in our mind to figure out where we want to go to depending on our mood. You go to The Usual for an indulgent, classic cocktail. You go to Joe T. Garcia’s for a festive, large-party atmosphere. You go to Brownstone for a cheap, $1 champagne getaway. So “What does The Flying Saucer offer?” you may ask. There are five distinct “purposes” that The Flying Saucer can provide a 21-year-old student on any given day.

The Multi-Uses of The Flying Saucer:

Kicking back after a long day of studying

Everyone has those long days, when counting down the seconds until it's over is all that occupies your mind. The Flying Saucer has a get-away ambiance that's fun, relaxing, and a little rough around the edges. Why is the biergarten idea replicated all over the country? Because we want to escape our normal environment and try something new. The Flying Saucer allows us to take a load off and forget all the obligations that are constantly occupying our minds.

Seeking a competition

So, you're the competitive type. Everything is a game in which you must win. The Flying Saucer UFO Club could be your next check off the bucket list. If you drink 200 types of beer at any Flying Saucer location, you can get your name on a plate placed in the Ring of Honor display and a $100 Toast for you and your beer-drinking friends. Earning up to ten plates can get you a number of prizes, from a custom German Saucer stein to airfare and tickets for two to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Not a bad deal.

Sports game watching 

The Flying Saucer hosts game-watching for pretty much any sporting event on their multiple big screen TVs. Oftentimes there are beer specials for big sporting events, and there's guaranteed to be an amusing, rowdy crowd to get the energy going.

Finding a birthday or graduation party location

The Flying Saucer is great for a party venue as well. You can reserve a space for any size party and they will eagerly accommodate your needs. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised at the uniqueness of this venue.

Desiring consistently great beer

The Flying Saucer has multiple locations across the country and houses mostly the same beer selection in every location. Locations range from small towns like Sugar Land, Texas to urban cities like Nashville, Tennessee. One of the best things The Flying Saucer provides is consistency. When you spot a Flying Saucer, you're guaranteed to have a wide selection of the best beer available.

Great biergarten food

The food at The Flying Saucer is almost as great as the beer. They have a wide selection of bar food that is sharable for two or three people looking for a lighter snack. On the other hand, they serve burgers and sandwiches for those looking for a meal. The German influence is definitely not lacking. The menu features pretzels, bratwurst, Shepard's pie, and many other unique eats that you can't find at a standard sports bar.

Wanting a beer adventure

The selection of beer at The Flying Saucer is not a joke. They have flights of beer for those that want their taste buds to travel around the world. You can find rarities like Monty Pythons Holy Grail from Great Britain to Magic Hat #9 from Burlington, Vermont. No matter how extensive your experience is with beer, you will assuredly find a new IPA or Lager that you've never heard of.

 

The Flying Saucer is located at 111 E Third Street and Commerce, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.

Hours of operation: Monday-Wednesday 11AM-1AM, Thursday-Saturday 11AM-2AM, Sunday 12PM-12AM.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
