By on January 26, 2010in bars/restaurants, beer events

If you’re looking for hump day lunch inspiration, look no further than Ngon.

I’ve been working on a new winter menu and have been running features over the last month. I just got done curing some bacon and will be running it on special tomorrow for lunch.

BLT & Lift Bridge Crosscut for $13

Apple wood smoked bacon, cured with anise & fennel, MN vine on tomatoes, lettuce, on baguette with house cut sweet potato fries

I forgot to post on our new cask: Summit Winter with English Fuggle hops

Cheers, Hai

Thirsty for Some Rainwater VSOD?

By on January 26, 2010in bars/restaurants

Sure, you can find this Brau Brothers offering at some liquor stores, but if you’re looking for a place to get it on tap tonight, here’s a couple of tasty options.

Acadia Café

Join us at 5pm for the Tuesday Night Russian Imperial Stout Sampler – Brau Brothers Oak-Aged Rainwater VSOD, Goose Island Bourbon Country Stout, and North Coast Old Rasputin – 6oz. pour of each for $6!

Common Roots Café

Just tapped our keg of the very limited Brau Brothers Brewing Co. Rainwater Stout VSOD (Very Special Old Dark). Balanced, lightly oaky, 10% abv, delicious.

Get…Abrasive.

Edit: Abrasive Ale is the newly-named 16 Grit.

From the Surly site (and BA, RB, Legal Beer, Beer News –man, how did we miss this?!):

Sure we’re abrasive. We were abrasive long before we were Surly. If you visit the brewery you can still see remnants of the industrial manufacturing factory Omar’s parents ran for 35 years within those same 4 walls. Bandsaw blades, grinding wheels, and sanding discs came long before ales and lagers. But let’s be honest, this is a lot more fun. Pale in color, this over-hopped, under-brewed Double IPA has almost twice the amount of hops & malt crammed in the can.

STYLE: Double IPA
MALT: Pale Ale, Golden Promise ,Oats
HOPS: CTZ bittering extract, Amarillo,Glacier
YEAST: English Ale

OG: 20° Plato
ABV: 8.8% v/v
COLOR: 8 ?L
IBU: 120
AVAILABILITY: March-April
