The Grey Lodge Pub
 2009 Groundhog Day
Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast and
Lucky Cat Beer Prognostication

Chase away those mid-winter blues!

On Saturday, 02 February 2002 (02/02/02), we started a new tradition at The Grey Lodge Pub, our first annual Groundhog\Lucky Cat Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast. Now it's two, two events in one. We start at 7am with our annual Groundhog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast. At 10am, we kick off more oddity with Lucky Cat Day, which features Wissinoming Winnie's Beer Prognostication and other fun stuff.

Ground Hog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast (call out sick day)Wissinoming Winnie knows which way the wind blows.
To chase away the winter blues and to celebrate Punxatauny Phil's annual prognostication, we open at 7am every Groundhog Day, 02 February, for our Groundhog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast featuring:

  • Punxatauny Phil's weather prognostication on our 50" flatscreen plasma TV.
  • Prize for best (ugliest?) Hawaiian Shirt, courtesy of Flying Fish.
  • Free leis.
  • A special brunch menu. 

    • It's still December, we'll have loads more details as we get closer to February 2nd. 

    Lucky Cat Day Seasonal Beer Prognostication
    Like Punxatauny Phil, the Grey Lodge's Wissinoming Winnie is a prognosticator. Unlike Phil who     prognosticates weather, Winnie prognosticates beer. Every February 2nd, with the help of her Inner Circle, Winnie determines if there will be 6 more weeks of winter beers or if the spring seasonals will arrive early. Winnie's Inner Circle is comprised of her hand picked (paw picked?) menagerie of local beer folks. 

    2010 News: We have a case of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout that we will be cellaring until Groundhog Day 2010.
