The new tasting room hours for Fridays are 4:30 - 9 pm and to kick it off we're throwing a release party on the 26th for our newest beer - Oyster Stout. We're setting up the space to flow much more smoothly than our first release party (for the Gose and Billy) so expect a more relaxed vibe and easier time of getting beers and bottles. We only filled five kegs of the stout but that will be plenty to serve all day on draft and we'll have bottles / cases to go for the usual prices of $8 / 90. Jason, Gerritt and I are really happy with the beer - a distinctly full-bodied and creamy stout with a touch of brine on the finish. During the release we'll have oysters on the half shell available for pairing which unsurprisingly go great with this beer.
Here are a couple recent and fun photos: new hop art commissioned from Kim Hamblin and a shot of our kettle vent (connected to the original chimney of the building) on a beautifully sunny day while brewing our anniversary beer, a farmhouse apricot ale for another party we're planning in late March.
I had fun at your tasting... Was it the peppered 5 that was new on tap? Very delicious! We took a bottle of the Oyster Stout home, wasn't able to stay because of parking time limits... Opened it after it was chilled, very delicious. One of the most unique beers I can say I've ever had. One question... Who did the art for the bottle? It's gorgeous, and fits the taste/appearance of the beer so nice!
ReplyDeleteBrian - that peppered version of the Six was just a single firkin that we filled but I'd like to do a larger batch down the road, maybe in a oak barrel. As for the art, all our labels are done by Ezra Johnson-Greenough who also runs the brewery tasting room Fridays and Sundays. Thanks for the kind comments on the beer!
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blurb in the post, that was awesome! Can't wait for the anniversary party, it's been on my calendar for awhile and I'm looking forward to trying the apricot!
