With all the dire economic news and gloom and doom percolating around, the staff at the Ram has decided to do local craft beer enthusiasts a solid and continue their “Recession Buster” series on Saturday.

How does $10 for several pints of the Ram’s award winning St. Mick’s Dry Stout, Dubbel Barrel Belgian Ale, and Lachsa Lager sound? With some snacks to go with? Fresh, homegrown beer and food for the price of a sixer sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

The event begins at 5 p.m. at the Stonehouse — the building attached to the main Ram Brewpub, located at 709 E. Park Boulevard (just off Broadway Avenue). It will go until 8 p.m. or until the guys run out of beer.

These are very cool events and a nice thank you to the Boise beer community. Who can’t use an affordable pint right now?

Ram brewmasters Kevin Bolen and Jake Schisel have won accolades for all three beers.

The Belgian Dubbel won a gold medal at the Idaho Falls brewfest last year, the St. Mick’s was a gold medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival, and the Lachsa Lager won a bronze at the World Beer Cup.

Good work guys — and thanks for sharing.
