“be careful!!!”

What is the Yaz tour?

Once upon a time, many years ago, when growing up under the watchful and often humorous direction of Peter 'Beepa' Hatala, he was constantly repeating the phrase, "Be Careful!!" It was uttered so often that one fateful day, when the entire family was gathered together, the brothers, Mark, Jeff and Peter, made a memorable pact to share in a shot of 'Yaz' (pronounced Yahz, rhymes with Spas) every single time 'Beepa' mentioned these cautionary words.

The brothers vaguely recall those early years when everyone came together, resulting in a lot of shots and leaving them in a haze of laughter and cherished memories.

This was the grassroots origin of the left-handed "Be Careful!!" (BC) shot of Jeżynówka (LEROUX® Polish Blackberry Flavored Brandy), that we lovingly refer to as YAZ!

This beloved tradition continues growing strong, with a fully stocked bar at our disposal, ready to serve up delicious drinks as we revel in the festivities. Each year, we embark on an intoxicating journey to attend one NFL football game in a city and stadium we have never visited before. This exciting adventure promises to be an extraordinary 32 years filled with unforgettable moments of excitement, camaraderie, and the joy of experiencing something new together!

THE BEACON

The highly visible calling card announcing the YAZ TOUR presence for one and all to see. It serves as a welcome to any and all to stop by, meet the guys and have a drink and a chat, and as a guide for returning Yazzers who’ve strayed from home base. This inflatable beauty rises 30 feet to a banner customized for each stop. Find the Beacon and there is sure to be a shot of Jeżynówka or an octobong waiting.
