Hoppy Times "Online" Edition

HOPPY MUG CLUB!!!

SACRAMENTO, CA - The Hoppy Mug Club sold its last available mug membership just as it turned one year old last week. Congratulations goes out to all 82 members for making this past year and the mug club a "fun" success.

For those who are just dying to know how the bidding war for the last remaining mug turned out...Mug #69 sold for $169. Hoppy bought the mug to be used as a Mug Club Member Guest Mug. Basically any Mug Club member who happens to come in with a guest that is not a member, they are welcome to use the guest mug on a first come, first serve basis. In addition, $100 of the purchase price will be donated to The New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster
Relief Fund.

If you are not currently a member the club, you are more than welcome to put your name on the waiting list, just in case a current member does not wish to renew their membership as it comes due.

Also, as a consolation to those who are not members, we will be offering Hoppy logo pint glasses for $3.00 (beer not included). Just let your Server or Bartender know that you would like a logo pint.

HOPPY RECENT EVENTS...

Our Lucky Lunch Winner for the month of February was Ms. Judy Mollica, from the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance. Congratulations Ms. Mollica!!! We look forward to serving you your complementary lunch!

Looking for a place to watch a Kings game when it is not on regular TV??? Hoppy Brewing will be showing all of the Kings games (if they are not blacked out by the NBA) via the NBA League Pass. In addition to just the Kings games, we will have the option to watch any NBA game this season. Also, we are making a policy change and suspending reservations during Kings games.
Therefore, if you have a group of people and want a great seat for the game, then make sure that all of your group arrives early, because we tend to fill up around game time...

Our brewpub is open daily at 11:00am serving some of the best valued Lunches, Dinners, and Daily Specials in the area. If you have not seen our menu lately, feel free to check it out online at
http://www.hoppy.com/sacramento/menu.htm, or just stop in and see us. We are always looking forward to sharing our day with our valued customers. However, as some of you already know, Lunch can get quite busy from time-to-time during the week; so if you are on a tight schedule, please try to avoid the noon hour for sharing if possible - especially if you have a large party.

Also, in addition to our normal daily Hoppy Hour from 3-6pm and our LATE-NIGHT Hoppy Hour from 10-11pm, featuring $2.75 pints and $9.25 pitchers, we have a number of other incentives here at our brewpub for you to enjoy:

* On Sunday's we feature the BEST deal in town, where we include
a bottle of Hoppy brew to go with every Lunch/Dinner entree
purchased.
* On Sunday's & Tuesday's we feature $0.99 children's
meals with an adult meal purchase.
* On Monday's our 12 ounce brews are only a $1.00 from 3-6pm,
and during football season we extend that special until
someone scores - in the game... ;)
* On Tuesday's we feature $2.00 pints all day until we close.
* On Wednesday's we have a South Park special where most
12 ounce beers on tap are only $1.00 from 10:00pm until
Kenny dies!

Also, our logo wear (i.e., polo shirts, tie-dye t-shirts, ball caps, and fleece pullovers) can make for a GREAT gift anytime of the year. However, if you are not sure about our merchandise as a gift, we also have gift certificates available in most any denomination of your choice for use here at our brewpub to give as a present as well...

Lastly, we usually have some space available for your company parties, or for that special birthday gathering in our restaurant; so if you have an interest in having your party here at Hoppy's, just call 916.451.4677 and speak with Mr. Kenny Turner to plan your next party or event as soon as possible...

HOPPY UPCOMING EVENTS...

On Sunday, March 17th, St. Patrick's Day is sure to feature a traditional dish of Corned Beef and Cabbage, green beer, NCAA Basketball playoffs, a NBA KINGS game, and a crowd... Show up early for a good seat, otherwise make sure to get plenty of rest the night before, because you will be standing for the game...

Easter in March!!! I wonder how often that happens??? If you are looking for a place to take the family for an afternoon lunch or dinner on Easter Sunday, we will be having a tasty ham special all day, along with a lamb special for dinner on March 31st. Leave the cooking to us, and make your reservations to bring the family in for a visit.

Remember...the craft brew industry is very competitive, and we can always use your help when you are out there in the bars, restaurants, grocery stores, and etc. How can you help us you may be asking yourself??? Well...ask your local retailer(s) for our products (to the point of bugging them if necessary), so that you are able to buy the products that you "really" want - not just what is on the store shelf, or on-tap, at the moment...

You, the consumer, have more power than you may know. Speak up, speak clearly, and your earnest taste buds may reap those proactive rewards. If you do this, then we are sure it will not be long before you will be able to enjoy our Liquid Sunshine™ Blonde, Hoppy Face™ Amber, Stony Face™ Red, and Total Eclipse™ Black Ales outside of attending a local festival, or even visiting us here in Sacramento...
