For those of you that haven't realized, or I haven't told - I have moved to Jacksonville. As you can see, that means I won't be keeping up on this blog anymore. Sorry, Tallahassee!
Will I do this in Jacksonville? Probably not. There are a billion more beer places in the metro area, and with my busy schedule, I don't think I can keep up.

Welcome back for part two of my interview with Golden Horn Brewing Company! If you haven't yet checked out part one, go ahead and click here!
I will also take this moment to release the details for our potential future collaboration.

I'm working on finishing my interview with Golden Horn and you can expect to see that soon. In that post I will announce the details of our potential collaboration brew!
Well for whatever reason nobody has really been announcing any events except Proof, so I'll go ahead and fill you in with all of those.

I have to say, if you've never talked to any of these folks, catch them at the next release and you're definitely in for a good time. We had a lot of fun chatting about beer, their philosophies, how they got started, and oh so much more.

Momo's has a new beer on tap - Rocket Rye Pale Ale. Perhaps the most exciting news, though, is that they actually sent out an email about it! HOLY JEEBUS!
Next, in chronological order, don't forget that Proof is having a cask of Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's IPA on Wednesday, March 21st (that's this Wednesday!) at 8pm, along with a glassware Tallahassee Beer Critichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15725031639377786534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422262809822789932.post-10869488153793713322012-03-15T10:12:00.000-04:002012-03-15T10:12:49.150-04:00Quick UpdatesFirst of all, don't forget about everything going on this weekend!
Second, I just wanted to throw out a quick note saying that I am working on getting my interview with Golden Horn Brewing Company up soon. We also hammered out plans for a test batch of a collab brew that should get brewed in the next couple of months, I hope.

Proof announced in their latest e-mail that the new bar downstairs will be opening soon! As far as I know, just the new bar will be opening, not the actual brewery (ie: their beers will not be on tap yet, but you will be able to see the brewery). I've been down there already and I have to say, it's looking good!
They are opening the bar in 2 stages on St. Patrick's day weekend.

However, they have to wait for the Cream Ale to kick. I just called and they still have the Cream Ale on tap but expect it to run out by the end of the day. I'll be stopping in tomorrow to give the new stout a try!

Also, they announced that they will be getting Hopslam tomorrow, both keg and package. The deliveries usually happen in mid afternoon if you want to get a shot at some. It's definitely some tasty beer.

You're in luck, because this town is going crazy.
But first, a few reminders... Fermentation Market is having their brew school this Sunday featuring porters and stouts. More information is available here. They've also opened their new tasting room, which you can see here.
Okay, so I guess that was really only one reminder. Deal with it. Let's get to the good stuff.

I'm sorry I haven't been updating as much lately. Things slowed down during break, so I sort of faded away, and then I stopped posting for a few reasons...
1) My computer currently isn't working. I'm pretty sure it's just the AC Adapter, and HP has a new one coming for me in the mail.
2) I was out of town for awhile auditioning for America's Got Talent.

I certainly hope you have a HOPPY New Year! (get it?)
Let's see... what's new... caught back up with Golden Horn again and you should see my interview with them pop up sometime after the new year. I'm glad, too, because I'm in need of a nice article that's not just news.

Luckily, Momo's came out with a new beer.
I found out because they put out a press release, a television commercial, sent me an e-mail, posted it on Facebook, and wrote a nice article for their news page.
Just kidding.
They didn't do anything - as always.

Tonight Fermentation will be tapping a cask of Swamp Head Big Nose when they open at 5pm. From their blog:
"We’ll be tapping a cask of Swamphead Big Nose IPA today at 5pm. This beer has been oaked and dry-hopped and should be pretty tasty. Limited quantity (you know…one cask worth), plus it’s local which is a plus (see what I did there?)."
Sadly I can't make it - but get there if you can!
