Brewfest Tallahassee, local updates

Just a few quick reminders...

Tonight is Golden Horn/Fermentation Lounge's next release of their haus biers - a coffee porter and a Belgian tripel with honey. I should be there around 6:30p to give them a try, assuming there's any left.

Thursday night (8pm) is the Stella Chalice giveaway at Proof.

Proof has released a little more information about their Victory event on Wednesday, September 7th. There will be a few things on tap, including the Braumeister Pils, which is apparently a bit limited in town. No word yet on which hop it is, but I'll update when I find out. In addition they'll have $3 pints of Prima Pils to compare side-by-side.

Not sure why I didn't mention this before, but if you're interested, Brewfest Tallahassee is on Saturday, October 8th. My first year in town the VIP section was sponsored by LL/Proof and was pretty sweet. Last year (and again this year), the VIP section was sponsored by ABC, and I hear it was pretty lame. I will not be purchasing a ticket, VIP or regular, but I may end up working a table there if my work goes (we had a cask last year). For more info on the fest, head here.

Until next time, cheers to fresh Tallahassee beer!

Local Updates

First, let's update you thirsty locals.

Some of you found out (the hard way) that Fermentation Lounge didn't end up getting their cask of Chipotlai on Tuesday. They say on their Facebook that it has arrived and they will tap it on Sunday, August 28th. They didn't say what time, but usually they tap the casks when they open, which is 5pm 4PM on Sunday. Unfortunately I work on Sunday... but I may try to get out there for it. UPDATE: I will be there at 4pm.

Also, they are having their Terrapin event with a cask of Hop Karma on Friday (August 26th - today) with a glassware giveaway.

Proof has announced a couple of events in the last couple of days. On Wednesday THURSDAY, September 1st at 8pm they are doing a Stella Artois chalice giveaway. My advice to the beer nerds in town: skip it. It will definitely be bro-tastic.

However, on Wednesday, September 8th at 8pm they are doing a Victory event with a cask of Storm King. This is one of the boldest casks they've had in awhile, and if I can make it, I will be there for sure. There will also be a few other Victory beers on tap and a glassware giveaway.

UPDATE: I just found out that the Victory Storm King cask WILL NOT be happening. The cask that was offered is apparently very old and was turned down. There will be some sort of special "German" event instead, details TBA.

Other than that, don't forget New Leaf does a sampling of 4-5 beers every Saturday around 4:30pm. No news from Momo's or Mike's Stone Baked Pizza yet, but I'll keep you posted!
