Granite City Oktoberfest

Granite City is joining in the Oktoberfest celebrations and will be having a tapping party September 28th.

First, we’ll tap Oktoberfest, Granite City’s most popular seasonal beer, known for its orange/amber color, medium body and flavors of sweet maltiness and toasted biscuit, with subtle hints of caramel. Then it’s time for a veritable feast of complimentary bratwursts, saurkraut, coleslaw, chips and Broad Axe Stout beans.

And as a bonus, we’re keeping our Oktoberfest brew tapped through January 2010.

Flat Earth Thursday Growlers

Think an ellipsis is when the moon moves in front of the sun? Wrong-o de-bongo! Today is National Punctuation Day and I think you should come down to the brewery and get some growlers of fresh Flat Earth Beer! Plus we’ve had a chance to reload on soda.

Tonight we’ll have:
Bermuda Triangle Triple
Black Helicopter Coffee Stout
Cygnus X-1 Porter
Element 115 Lager
Mummy Train Pumpkin Ale
Oatmeal Stout
Unfiltered Cygnus

From the soda division:
Apricola, Cherry Cola, Orange, Tropical Lime, Orange-Ginger, Sarsaparilla, Rootbeer & Birch beer.

Cheers!

Ngon Feature Beer, and a tease

Ngon Bistro’s current feature beer is Mummy Train Ale from Flat Earth. A pumpkin beer, this is brewed with over 30 lbs of pumpkin and spices.

Apparently, since I wasn’t able to verify for myself, Ngon’s 3 course beer and wine tasting was popular enough last weekend to deserve an encore. They’ll be announcing this weekend’s menu on Friday after they visit the farmer’s market and see what tickles their fancy.
