Head over to Heritage on Monday for a book signing & tasting with Garrett Oliver from Brooklyn Brewing.

As the Brewmaster for Brooklyn Brewing and a tireless advocate of beer and food pairing, penning the popular The Brewmasters Table, Garrett Oliver has become an icon in the craft beer world. His newest undertaking is the creation of The Oxford Companion to Beer, the most comprehensive reference book ever published on the subject of our favorite fermented beverage. It compiles the vast knowledge and research of more than 165 beer experts from more that 20 countries and we’re excited to have Garrett in-store on Monday, October 10th from 5-5:45PM to sign copies of his book. We’ll also be pouring samples of some his breweries offerings, including a special tasting of the 2009 vintage of their Black Chocolate Stout.

In addition, we’re going to make our Bomber of the Week their very tasty Local 2, which will be 20% off this week only.

The Mad Capper Saloon and Eatery will be hosting a release party for, The Harvestor Fresh Hop Ale from Lift Bridge Brewing, Saturday October 8th, 5-8pm.

On September 16, 100+ people gathered at Lift Bridge for their event, Pickin’ and Grinnin’, picking hop cones from 300 lbs of hop bine.

Brewing: We will be brewing our annual “Harvestor” fresh hop ale at the event and the fresh hops you pick will go right into the beer. This beer will then ferment and age for 3-4 weeks before release, at which time you can raise a glass and proudly proclaim that you did that.

The beer is now ready for consumption and full of hop deliciousness!

Fresh/Wet Hop Release at Town Hall

By on October 5, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Town Hall is releasing this year’s fresh hop beer Monday so make your plans now to get over there for some wet, hoppy goodness. Plus, in case you missed the news about the three GABF medals they picked up, the details are below.

Hop Lovers!

Fresh/Wet Hop Week 10/10-10/14 at Town Hall Brewery

We will Release Town Hall Fresh Hop 100 on Monday. This year Fresh Hop 100 was brewed using Chinook hops grown by Van Horn Farms in the Yakima Valley. These hops were picked on a Tuesday and in our brew kettle Wednesday morning, still nice and wet from the vine. For the seventh year we are happy to bring you this harvest ale made 100% from Fresh, Wet hops. This is a rare practice as most brewers do not put wet hops in the kettle, most use pellets in the kettle or in some cases extracts.

As always Town Hall Fresh Hop 100 features 100% Fresh, Green, Wet Hops!

This beer is extreamly limited and will start pouring shortly after we open Monday at 11am. Pints will be $6. (pint club members you will recieve your discount- Sorry, no other discounts apply to this beer) Due to limited quantity we will only sell 60 growlers of Fresh Hop 100, first come first serve-doors open at 11 am Monday and growlers limited to 1 growler per person cost will be $18 refill price, 3 bucks more with no return. Yes, those 60 growlers will hide a nice big hop bud inside. Wish there were more, but that is the best we can do.

All week we will also feature Fresh/Wet Hop beers from four other brewers, so you can get your Fresh Hop Sampler and try all 5! We will be pouring:

**Town Hall Fresh Hop 100
**Surly Wet
**Founders Harvest
**Deschutes Fresh Hop Mirror Pond Heirloom Cascade
**Two Brothers Heavy Handed Centennial
**We will have one “On Deck” keg to back up the first keg that empties**
** “On Deck”- Lift Bridge Harvestor

We will have thes beers all serving monday by 3pm (I hope much earlier, but some we have to pick up Monday morn).
