A theory exists that the word 'cocktail' originated from an old practice of bartenders dumping leftover liquors from drinks into a ceramic container shaped like a rooster, and you could get cheap drinks from a tap set in the tail of the rooster; hence these drinks were called 'cock's tail'.
Believe it or Not.
Also, In case the Go 3rd celebration (drinking at the beer gardens on the 1st in Longview, hitting golf balls at the floating green and listening to live music the 2nd-4th, BBQ the 2nd-4th at my house, playing four square, and drinking while watching the town's firworks show from my backyard) won't hold you over until the Portland Brewers Fest at the end of July, there is Rainier Days in the Park
The beer garden in Rainier is much more ambitious than Longview's, running:
Thursday: 6 p.m.-12 a.m.
Friday: 6 p.m.-1 a.m.
Saturday: Noon-1 a.m
With plans for going golfing both days, drinking at night, and the weather supposed to be in the 80's, I think I have this weekend pretty well mapped out. Smoot you or any other Seattle-ites are welcome to come down.
