Each show is like an extended coursed out eating, drinking and music time. Throughout the night we will be sampling beer with Chris and Aran from Furthermore Beer, Mike Philips from the Craftsman restaurant will be on site to grind, case and grill sausage for us. Andrew Kopplin from Kopplin’s coffee will teach the audience how to brew a press pot and music for the evening will be provided by Hojas Rojas, Tuesday’s Robot, Wapsipinicon and picked to click Private Dancer. There will also be a meat raffle and it’s free from 6-9ish, so no excuses, show up.

By on October 8, 2008in bars/restaurants, beer events

Another fun night at Stub & Herb’s – this time with New Belgium. I’ve enjoyed the Giddy Up as of late and am curious to try the Abbey and Grand Cru. If you like Flander’s Reds, be sure to try La Folie. I shared some friends recently and really enjoyed it.

Stub’s monthly beer tasting for October will feature New Belgium. The tasting will be held on October 29th at 7:PM. Jack from New Belgium will be on hand to do a quick Q&A. There will be snacks and some swag giveaways.

Cost $5. You will get to tast 9 New Belgium products.
