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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
