Drink out of a boot? A look at Unknown Brewing’s Improper Glassware night

Ever daydreamed of drinking delicious craft beer out of something other than a pint glass to spice up the mid-week monotony? If you were at Unknown Brewing Company this week, you witnessed craft beer enthusiasts of all ages sipping suds out of a variety of chalices. Let’s just say things got weird.

#improperglassware has begun and Maddie is pouring up some Scratch N’ Sniff IPA in a Jenga container. Can you beat that?! Come in from now till 10! #makeastatement #livewithoutboundaries #cltbeer

One of the first attendees’ vessels? A Fleshlight (see left). Yeah, I am still disturbed and hope while reading this you haven’t lost your breakfast. Let’s go ahead and move on.

“Glasses” ranged in size, shape, color and function: And after feverishly canning Pre Game all day in time for weekend distribution, some of Unknown’s employees got in on the mix — Brad the owner and Lisa, head of operations.

All in all, the event was a success. The trophy for coolest improper glassware easily goes to the homie with the penguin ice bin. Let’s just say Fleshlight guy didn’t stick around long, I’d imagine that’s not the smoothest conversation starter.

Unknown Brewing might have even started some new habits.
