Foundhog’s Day at Bryant Lake Bowl

Wednesday, February 2nd Bryant Lake Bowl will be celebrating Foundhod’s Day with Founder’s beer! Instead of seeing if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not how about you swing down, have a few and see if you can see the bottom of your glass! They’ll be tapping at 5:00 pm.
’10 Founders Kentucky Bourbon Stout
’10 Founders Kentucky Canadian Stout
’10 Founder Nemesis
and as always they will have Founders Breakfast stout on as well. Chef Jeremy will be whipping up his famous beer plate with homemade sausages, local cheeses and other good stuff.

Beer Dabbler Saturday

By on January 28, 2011in beer events

Are you going? Though the online tickets are sold out, there will be 300 tickets available at Station 4 starting at 1pm on the day of the event. You’ve still got time! The fest runs from 3:30 – 7:30. Some people have asked for highlights… no doubt there will be lots of great stuff to try, though a couple of extras for this event come to mind:

-Rob from Tallgrass asked me to mention that they will be bringing a cask of their Oasis (double ESB?).

-Sir Lanny Hoff, will be pouring for La Trappe (Lanny has tons of good stories…)

-Odell Brewing will be bringing something very special and only found at the brewery called Wooden Elephant. It’s an IPA that is aged in 2nd and 3rd use woodcut barrels. This will be the Inaugural Beer that will be tapped by Doug Odell himself along with another special guest.

Along with locals like Brau Brothers, Crispin, Fulton, Flat Earth, Lake Superior, Lift Bridge, Mantorville, Summit, etc. this should be a good event.
