Sips & bites: Salt turning four, Paddy’s marking 150, Dead Guy at Bang! Bang!,Oliver at Pudao Wines
Is there a better-named bar in Beijing than Bang! Bang! to serve Dead Guy? It joins Kro’s Nest (Xiaoyun Road branch) and Grinders in stocking this beer.
As part of a promotional tour for the Chinese-language edition of his Australian Wine Annual, writer Jeremy Oliver will be at Pudao Wines from 3 PM to 5 PM on Saturday for a free tasting of eight Australian wines from d’Arenberg, Yalumba, Grosset, Hewitson, Moss Wood, Rockford, De Bortoli and Henschke.
Karl Long of Paddy O’Shea’s marks his 150th turn as quiz master on Wednesday night. He says attendees can expect special rounds, drinks and prices. Paddy’s will soon celebrate its fourth birthday, with the bash slated for December 9.
Last but not least, the Salt birthday bash last December ranked among the best parties I attended all year. This year’s bash is set for Thursday, with free-flow drinks and snacks from 7 PM to 10 PM and ticket proceeds going to UNICEF. Those tickets are rmb300 at the door (RSVP at 6437-8457 / info@saltrestaurantbeijing.com) or rmb250 ahead of time at Terra, Zest or Salt. (Given his dance interpretation of C+C Music Factory last year, there will be great pressure on Gordon Kutil of The Saddle to outdo that performance. Will he let the music take his soul, will he let the rhythm move him? That is the question.)
