Ashvegas: The City You Love. The News You Want.Sunday night, the Charlotte-based band Young and In the Way used a Super Soaker to spray  a massive amount of pig’s blood around the backroom music venue at the Lexington Avenue Brewery. The gastropub has been closed for clean-up ever since. The brewery/restaurant/music room is losing thousands of dollars in revenue, and its workers have been idled.

To help LAB get back on its feet, I’m holding a little contest here: leave your most creative name for a beer inspired by the bloodbath, and Ashvegas will give you a $75 gift certificate to the LAB. The point is not to make light of a terribly costly incident, but to help get the place back up on its feet. I haven’t talked to Mike from the LAB yet, but who knows – he might take the winning name and actually put the winning name to a beer.

Folks on Twitter on Tuesday night have already started. Here are a few:

Pig’s Blood Pale Ale

Pig Latin Stout

Bloody Bacon Ale

    Or we could let this stupid stunt fade into the past where it belongs…I’m pretty sure that the LAB would like to get past this and not dwell on their employees being out of work and the company losing money. Much less spending more money to make a beer memorializing said stupid stunt.

      Or they could turn things around now and use it to MAKE money, couldn’t they? Not to glorify a bad thing but take advantage of a crappy situation and use it for their benefit? I’d buy it in support of The Lab recouping some of their loss.
