Y’all Come!
Common Roots Cafe has announced a couple Meet the Brewer nights for the remainder of April.
On the 14th, Dan Chang, brewer/owner from Rush River Brewing, will be on hand with a cask of UberAltBeir.
Then on the 28th
Then on the 26th, Aran Madden, brewer/owner from Furthermore Beer, will be there with a firkin of Fatty Boombalatty infused with pomelo peel and candied ginger.
This seems pretty awesome. Is credit available? More deets as they roll in.
Brought to you by Pat Fahey and Adam Schulte with support from our partners, The Happy Gnome and The Ale Jail.
Classes start May 4th, and will be held every Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30pm at the Happy Gnome, through July 20th. May schedule coming soon!
We’ll be bringing in a different brewery each week to sample out 4-5 of their beers. Learn a little, drink a little, oh, and did we mention it’s FREE?
No joke: Belg-a-Rama #5 at the Blue Nile is ON now!
What else do you really need to know? Oh yeah, the beers:
-De Ranke Noir de Dottingies, strong dark ale
-Van den Bossche Buffalo Belgian Bitter (very new!)
-The great Tripel Karmeliet from Bosteels, one of Al’s all-time favorites
-Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru
-Two collaborative brews, Deux Brasseurs Ale, brewed by De Proef in Belgium, with Jason Perkins of Maine Allagash Brewery, and
-Ommegang’s strong Belgian, using yeast from Brasserie La Chouffee. (Al notes that this is the first exception to their “brewed in Belgium only” rule, but it is with good cause. Only a handful made it in the state, and it’s from a favorite Belgian-style American brewery, so he thought you’d excuse the exception. We do.)
This one will run Friday, April 1, through Sunday, April 9. If any of these runs out, the replacements will be two great sours from Brouwerij Bockor, Bellegems Bruin, or Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge. That’s right.
