Here’s the lowdown from Al over at the Blue Nile regarding Imperial March: Big Beer Night at the Blue Nile. The event will take placeon Saturday, March 14th. Don’t forget to mark your calendars!

Saturday, March 14th, every beer on tap at the Blue Nile will be a big beer. I pulled some things off early so we’d have some left in the keg for this event. That said, not everything listed will be available all day, some will run out, and many of these will be small kegs.

Here’s a partial list of what will be on:
Bell’s Expedition Stout
Bell’s HopSlam
Tyranena Hop Whore, Chipotle Smoked Porter & Paradise by the Dash Board Lights
Moylan’s Double Kilt-Lifter, & Moylander Double IPA
Avery Hog Heaven Barleywine
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
N. Coast Old Rasputin
Eel River Raven’s Eye RIS
Surly Smoke
Flying Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter
Southern Tier Choklat, Oak-aged Unearthly, & Gemini

this is a partial, preliminary list…there may be more!
All will be 12 ounce pours for $7, or 3 4-ounces pours of your choice for the same price.
Sound cool?
See ya then!

Cheers,
al
