Autumn Brew Review

By on August 19, 2009in beer events

I, for one, am looking forward to Autumn Brew Review. To be honest, It’s probably one of my favorite beer fests… a great mix of locals as well as some fun, out-of-state breweries. This year’s Autumn Brew Review will take place on Saturday, September 12th from 1-6pm (or noon-6pm if you have early access tickets) and will include food, music and of course a TON of good beer. It’s sold out… hopefully you scored tickets!

Tuesday Flat Earth Growlers

By on August 18, 2009in breweries

Today is Bad Poetry Day, poems like this are a little easier to swallow with a fresh pint of Flat Earth beer.

What is Liquid?
Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle

All that doth flow we cannot liquid name
Or else would fire and water be the same;
But that is liquid which is moist and wet
Fire that property can never get.
Then ’tis not cold that doth the fire put out
But ’tis the wet that makes it die, no doubt.

Tonight we will have:
Belgian Pale Ale
Bermuda Triangle Triple
Cygnus X-1 Porter
Element 115 Lager
Black Helicopter Coffee Stout
Raspberry Belgian
Mystic Rhythms – Raspberry infused Cygnus

Sodas:
Ginger
Watermelon
Wild Cherry
Apricola
Rootbeer
