So long, Tallahassee!

Well, it's definitely been fun.

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.

More importantly, what do you need to know about Tallahassee as you read this?

Well, off the top of my head, I can only think of 2 things:

1). Proof Brewing Company launched their brewery tonight. They are having another release of 2 more beers in 2 weeks in honor of National IPA day. Though I couldn't attend, I was there for their first brew day, and I tasted a couple of the brews out of the fermenters. You're in for a treat, Tallahassee.

2). Ferm is opening a new location at some point in Midtown. Hipsters unite!

It's been fun! Thanks, everyone!

Cask Madness in Tallahassee

Like cask 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.

Keeping with Fermentation Lounge, they announced on Facebook that they got a cask of Cigar City's Humidor Dry Stout, which is going to be killer, I'm sure. The tentative tapping date is Saturday, February 4th. They usually tap them right at opening, which I believe is 4pm on Saturdays.

Proof announced a bunch of casks in their last e-mail. First of all, don't forget the killer Great Divide cask this coming Wednesday. Besides that, they have landed casks of Cigar City Smokeabaga (chipotle treated Tocobaga) as well as a kick-ass cask of Oskar Blues Double Dry-Hopped Deviant Dale's IPA, their brand new IPA. Stoked. In addition, they've announced that a Bell's cask will be present at some point but they aren't releasing what it is yet... mmmmmm.

Looks like we're going strong for the next couple of months, folks. Keep your eyes here for all the latest. Feel free to comment or e-mail me if you have more or new brew news!

Cheers!

Updates... FINALLY!

Ok, here we go... I've been behind, and there is plenty going on.

Let's start with Proof, as they have a couple of things coming up. Next Wednesday, January 25th, they will be having a Terrapin event where they will be giving away glassware that includes Terrapin's logo as well as Proof's logo. That's pretty sweet! I don't have dates or exact brews yet, but word is they also have a few tasty casks coming as well, so keep your eyes peeled here for those, as I'm sure you'll want to go.

Fermentation Market now has taps in the store so you can drink while you browse. I'm not 100% sure how they got the licensing to do that, but I'm no expert. My guess is they are including the store in the bar license since it's next door now... or something of that sort. In addition, they will be having their first "Fermentation Beer University" course about stouts and porters on Sunday, January 29th at 5pm, featuring Brooklyn Black Ops.

Momo's is... probably making another beer. Who knows? I'll let you know as I find out!

Cheers!

Fermentation Lounge News!

So I was just reading over Ferm's latest blog post and they dropped some news that is definitely worth noting!

First, they announced that this Sunday at 7pm they will be releasing their new haus made braggot, made with honey from Sweet Grass Dairy. In addition, you can get a cheese sampler to pair with the braggot that includes various Sweet Grass cheeses as well as the honey that was used in the braggot! I work until 7pm that day, but I will be there afterwards if anybody wants to say hello!

They also mentioned that the Fermentation Market will be moving in next door to the Lounge. I can't say I hit the Market that frequently, but that is good news for them and thirsty customers alike!

Keep your eyes peeled next week for an interview with a new brewer in town that will hopefully soon be opening yet another brewery in town!

Cheers!
