Quick Updates

Well, I was out of town for a few days in Austin, TX for the RateBeer Winter Gathering. It was a blast, and I hope some of you able to attend the Swamp Head cask at Ferm without my help... so here goes.

If you haven't already heard, Fermentation Market has now been dubbed the Cider Lodge and now has some good stuff on tap and a nice bottle selection. In the future they plan to serve Belgian bottles in appropriate glassware as well.

Proof is having a Blue Point glassware giveaway on Wednesday.

Momo's new Night Owl Oatmeal Stout is on tap and pouring!

Cheers!

In the works...

Conversations have started again between myself and Golden Horn Brewing Company! Pretty soon you should find a post here with an interview of the gang and a potential (test batch) collab brew between them and myself. This is going to be fun!

Cheers!

New brew at Momo's!

Momo's has announced that they will have a new brew on tap - Momo's Nightowl Oatmeal Stout. 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!

Proof has a glassware giveaway to celebrate Sweetwater's 15th Anniversary next Wednesday at 8pm. If you buy a pint of this... imperial ESB, I guess you'd call it... you keep the glass!

Cheers!

A Good Week for Casks

We have a couple of great casks lined up this week, folks.

On Tuesday you can bring your love (or your friends if you're one of those people) to Fermentation Lounge for a cask of delicious Bell's Two Hearted, one of my favorite IPAs fo sho.

On Wednesday at 8pm Proof will be tapping their cask of Cigar City "Smokabaga," which is CCB's Tocobaga infused with chipotle peppers. I had the chipotle pepper infused Jai Alai on cask once and it is surprisingly tasty.

Cheers!

Cigar City Cask at Proof

Proof announced the date and time for their Cigar City cask, Smokabaga. It'll be tapped along with a glassware giveaway at 8pm on Wednesday the 15th.

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.

Cheers!

Quick (but important) Updates

Some news has come to light that you need to know! First, Momo's has a new nut brown ale on tap! Second, Ferm didn't end up tapping their cask today, so it will be on tap tomorrow! Cheers!

Lots of stuff at Proof

In the latest e-mail from Proof, we got wind of a lot of upcoming events, though the dates aren't final.

Wednesday, February 8th - Stella Glassware Giveaway

In the following weeks:

Bells Hopslam Release!
Cigar City Brewing Cask Ale Night & Glassware Giveaway
Bells Brewing Cask Ale Night!
Oskar Blues Cask Ale Night & Glassware Giveaway!
Massive Terrapin Cask Ale Night & Glassware Giveaway!

We know the CCB cask is going to be Smokeabaga and the Oskar Blues is going to be Deviant Dales, but the rest are still up in the air. I'm hoping for Hopslam for the Bell's cask, and I hear that the Terrapin event is going to be enormous (we're talking multiple casks, lots of taps, etc.).

Don't forget about the cask at Fermentation Lounge this Saturday. Their Facebook says they'll be tapping it at 5pm.

Cheers!
