January already?

It's been something of a hectic holiday season, followed by an equally busy start to the new year. I feel like this whole month has slipped right past us.

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on what's new and exciting around Alembic v.2010.

First, and most exciting, we are now open for lunch, 7 days a week at noon, special menu and all.

We've also got a new menu layout and a bunch of great new additions to our dinner menu.

In the cocktail department, we've a few new cuts destined for the menu soon, but I just decanted a fresh batch of cranberry infused Campari that we're mixing up with a little Cachaca and a splash of sparkling wine. It's a pretty dangerous combination.

Second, which is most likely a first for our fair city, we've got Sutton Cellars Brown Label vermouth pouring on tap. Delicious, bracingly cold, and the perfect pairing for a few bar snacks in the afternoon.

Also, be sure to keep Monday nights free, if beer is your thing (and I know it is!) Every Monday night we are offering our bottled beer selections at 50% off, all of 'em. Aside from our regular list, we'll also be pulling out a few little surprises each week, so follow our Twitter feed to stay in the loop.

Speaking of beer, we are also putting together a tight roster of events for the upcoming SF Beer Week festivities, details to come. Feb 5 through the 14th.

And finally, this Sunday, January 24th, is this months Savoy Stomp with Mr. Erik Ellestad and a few other friends who will be swinging by. 6pm till late.

Whew! I'm gonna go take a nap. Hope to see you soon.
