Black Mass, Good Karma: Drink Beer at Jerry’s in Andersonville And Help Out Tonight

In Beer News by Karl

Normally, drinking causes head pain, not take it away. That’s the aim, though, of tonight’s event at Jerry’s Sandwiches in Andersonville.

Here’s the setup:

In recent weeks, our beloved bartender Shay has been experiencing dizziness and migraines that led him to an MRI machine which revealed a black mass pushing on his brain. He will have undergone brain surgery to address this by the end of July. While Shay luckily has health insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses will likely amount to tens of thousands of dollars before it’s all said and done. We at Jerry’s would like to help ease that burden, and would like to invite the Jerry’s community to do the same.

Nice, huh? In a display of dark humor that we can appreciate, they’ve decided to throw a “Black Mass” of their own. Profits and proceeds go to the aforementioned Shay, and the shindig starts tonight at 7pm.
