Olvalde Tastings: Ale Jail & Four Firkins
For the first time in the Twin Cities, Olvalde Farmhouse Ales, MN’s newest (real!) brewery will be tasting The Auroch’s Horn, a strong Belgian style golden ale TODAY at the Ale Jail from 4-6pm. Stop in and support another local brewery! Adam asks “Did I mention it’s brewed with honey, 10% ABV and delicious?” Only one way to find out. Head over today.
And if Friday doesn’t work for you, The Four Firkins will be hosting an event with Joe from Olvalde Farmhouse Ales as well. from 6-8pm Saturday.
Joe does just about all the work for the brewery including hand bottling, corking and caging his 750ml bottles.
“The Auroch’s Horn is a nod to the Belgian Strong Golden style. Joe uses an American yeast strain along with honey to create a 10% ABV golden ale refermented in the bottle with hints of lemon, pear, peach and honeysuckle. Complimenting these flavors throughout is a light honey essence.”
Stonehenge… er… Stone at Heritage. Yeah.
More Stone-related fun on Wednesday, this time courtesy of Heritage.
Remember when you were 7 years old, and woke up on Christmas morning at 4 AM? You stayed in bed as long as you could, cause you knew your parents would be pissed if you woke them up so early. Finally, you were bursting with excitement and just couldn’t wait any longer, and at 4:09 you ran to your living room only to see your
parents putting together all of “Santas” presents. This is gonna be like that without the unhappy ending. Hopheads will get to re-live that excitement on Wednesday, March 30, only this time it will be at 4 in the afternoon.
The rumors are true…San Diego’s favorite hop merchants are coming to Minnesota, and we’ll have CEO and co-founder Greg Koch in-store pouring samples we’re not worthy of. We’ll have plenty of all their year-round classics like Arrogant Bastard, Sublimely Self-Righteous, Cali-Belgique and many others, plus some special surprises. Greg will be signing bottles and selling DVD’s for a $2 donation that will go to local charity Wishes & More, with Heritage matching dollar-for-dollar.
Event: Stone Brewing Release with Greg Koch at Heritage Liquor, Wednesday March 30, 4PM.
