St. Cloud area folks, here’s something nice for you… Bolder Tap House will be smacking the keystone in on a firkin of Tallgrass A-Team on Wed., Feburary 15th at 7:00.
The A-Team is Tallgrass IPA with Amarillo hops and apricot, which they say pairs nicely with Bolder Tap Houses’ mango/habanero wings. Ouch.

As always they will raffle off some goodies!
Brewing TV is getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day with stout on the brain! For the occasion, Jake and Mike brew two beers. One is a Dry Irish Stout on par with the modern Guinness Draught, which we serve on nitrogen through a stout faucet. The other beer is a Single Stout Porter, based on a beer Guinness produced back in the 1880s. We put the beers up against each other in a taste test… and find out the secret to Chip’s Chocolate Stout along the way. Get viewing… and get brewing! (Recipe blog and more here.)
Since I couldn’t describe it any better, here’s the details on tonight’s cask at Barley John’s, straight from the horse’s brewer’s mouth.
Tonight’s cask offering is going to be a variation of our Stockyard IPA – I kept 5 gallons of the wort last time I brewed and fermented that very special 5 gallons with champagne yeast. Last time I did that, with the Little Barley Bitter, the result was a somewhat Belgian-charactered version of the original: flowery, a little sweet, with fine bubbles and the slight sulfur character characteristic of a good champagne.
