Pucker up, buttercup. This episode of Brewing TV is nice and sour! Things begin at the Ale Jail, where BTV joins a certified cicerone for a quick taste-tour through some of Belgium’s best sour beers. We then take what we learn and put it to good use homebrewing and blending more than a half-dozen sour beers. This episode has been aging for a while and it’s at its peak. Don’t wait another moment, pop the cork and watch it right now!
News & Updates
Heritage Thursday Tasting: New Belgium
Every time I hear “Beer Ranger,” I have a hard time not thinking of Smokey the Bear or Dudley Do-Right, but that’s just me… in any case, Heritage will ll be sampling New Belgium beers tonight from 5-7 w/ a bona fida (?!) beer ranger in tow. Enjoy!
Ever sipped a beer poured by a real, honest-to-goodness Beer Ranger? If you want to tick that experience off your bucket list, be at our store this Thursday the 17th between 5-7PM. In fact, our favorite New Belgium Beer Ranger will be here giving out samples of their newest releases, including Snow Day Winter Ale and Belgo Belgian IPA. You’ll be kicking yourself later if you miss it.
This year’s Octoberfest releases are almost gone, but for our Bomber of the Week, we’re gonna make our favorite one, Ayinger October Fest Marzen, 20% off and send them out with the fanfare they deserve.
