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!

Coffee and Honey and Beers, OH MY!

This Wednesday, August 31st, Fermentation Lounge/Golden Horn Brewing will be releasing two more brews. As announced on their blog, they are promising a coffee porter and a Belgian tripel with honey. Having just had the Left Hand Beer Week Sauce coffee porter at Proof, I'm excited to see how Golden Horn's will stack up. From Ferm's blog:

Coffee Porter - A dark, malty English porter with an abundance of dark roasted malts. Near the end of the fermentation process, freshly roasted beans from Grassroots Coffee are added to this robust brew.
Tripel Honey - A Belgian tripel with 12 pounds of locally produced gallberry honey added during different phases of the brew process.

They open at 5pm on Wednesday, but I work until 7pm.

I am trying to get someone to come in early for me, but the earliest I'll be able to get there is around 6:30p, I'd say. If you're around, say hello!
