It’s growler night at Flat Earth

By on January 8, 2009in general beer

Although Flat Earth’s infused Cygnus series is officially over, there are still plenty of reasons not to miss their Thursday growler sales which take place 3:30 – 6:30 pm.

1. They have a limited number of infusions still available, including Trees (hazelnut), Hold Your Fire (peppers), Mystic Rhythms (raspberry), Starman (anise) and Snowdog (peppermint).
2. It’s supposed to snow tomorrow and being stuck at home is better if you have full growlers in your fridge.
3. Jeff, Mike, and the other people you’ll run into there are cool.

Lift Bridge Biscotti

By on January 7, 2009in breweries

Lift Bridge’s Biscotti is now (or soon to be) on tap at Stub & Herb’s, The Blue Door, The Muddy Pig, The Happy Gnome and Mad Capper.

Biscotti Breakdown:
Unique Belgian Style Ale
7% ABV
We drew inspiration from Steve’s grandmother’s holiday biscotti recipe to create this one of a kind brew. By utilizing an array of malts, oats, wheat, pure local honey, light European hops and delicately spicing with Grains of Paradise, Madagascar vanilla beans, whole star anise, all brought together with traditional Belgian yeast, the result is a cloudy, deep copper colored, complex experience. This delight to the senses should be served in a 12 ounce footed glass and allowed to warm to 50 degrees to fully gather the malt and spice spectrum.
Enjoy while it lasts!

The Blucy winner has been named

By on December 30, 2008in bars/restaurants

The Blue Door Pub congratulates Gerson Gerald on winning the first B.O.M. Builder contest for his Frenchy Blucy. While the other contenders were all more than worthy of the title, Gerson edged out the others with some strong support.

The Frenchy Blucy: Cheese and onions in the middle with a side of aus jus, this is a terrific spin on the old sandwich classic!

Stay tuned for an email blast about when you can come in and try the Frenchy Blucy for yourself. If you haven’t subscribed to their newsletter yet, get to it!

Again, congratulations Gerson on a well built Blucy!
