Harriet Brewing One Year Anniversary
Harriet Brewing is celebrating their first anniversary at The Blue Nile on Jan. 27th from 4pm – 2am. They’ll take over all 12 taps, highlight local artist & of course music.
Happy early birthday, Harriet. My partner in crime, Dawn, fell in love with Dark Abbey Dubbel on Friday at Pig & Fiddle. Details below:
Tap #1 – Elevator Doppelbock – Our traditionally brewed German-Style Doppelbock is being released for the first time at the Blue Nile on January 27th.
Tap #2 – East Side IPA – Our second brand spankin’ new beer in January (Release party at the Groveland Tap on January 11. We’ve taken our flagship West Side Beigian-Style IPA and replaced all of the American hops with their European cousins and substituted Carapils for the Special B creating a beer that honors the floral, earthy, and spicy character of a traditional Belgian-Style IPA.
Tap #3 – Small Beer – You really shouldn’t be drinking this one. This is our beer. We’ve made this sessionable Belgian-style brew from the second runnings of Elevator so that we can drink our own beer at the brewery and still be moderately productive. This is an extremely limited beer that will seldom see the world outside of the brewery, so get it while you can.
