Just wanted to give you a preview of what we’re putting on tomorrow night at 5 pm.  Don’t worry if you can’t make it in, these are all full batches of beer that will be on tap for a while.  It’s just not often we throw four new beers on tap at the same time.  These are all beers I’m sending to the Great American Beer Festival, so I worked the brew schedule so that each beer would be at its peak when we sent it off to Denver for judging.  As a result we’ve got a bunch of fun beers premiering on the same day.  Two of these are gold medal winning recipes that we’ve never brewed at this location before. (They’re slow stubborn styles that I didn’t have tank space/time for before the delivery of F8).  So come out to have a beer with Jeff and I and wish us luck in Denver! 

Here’s the lineup;

The Cannibal – Named for cycling legend Eddy Merckx, this beer is also strong and Belgian.  Golden ale with a complex yeast character reminiscent of tropical fruit with a balancing bitterness and dry spicy finish.  7.9% abv 2005 GABF gold medal, 2006 WBC Silver medal

Saison - Belgian-style farmhouse ale.  Unfiltered, bright and light bodied, yet with a yeast character that is at once earthy, fruity, and spicy.  7.0% abv 2008 GABF gold medal

Caprice – Our tribute to Belgium’s tributes to American hops.  Classic Belgian (Orval) yeast marries with the fruity characters of American hops.  Dry sessionable and refreshing.  5.4% abv

Hopfenweizen - Another Euro-American hybrid.  Banana and clove notes from Bavarian wheat beer yeast mingle with the fruity characters of American Citra hops.  5.0% abv

Cheers,

Chris
