Lanny Hoff from Artisanal Imports will be doing a free sour ale blending seminar at Bulldog NE at 6pm on Monday, May 16 as part of their Sour Ale Fest May 16-17. He’ll be working with unblended old and new Cuvee de Jacobin and attendees will be tasting several different blends of the two, as well as the real finished product.
9 different sour ales from Belgium as well as American craft breweries will be available on tap.
A tangy saison? An easy drinking pilsner? A cloudy hefe (hold the lemon please)? You got it!
In honor of this bout of summer weather, the Ale Jail will crack open some of their favorite summer beers tonight from 5pm – 7pm. Stop on by!
Maybe you’ve seen the twitter tease, the BA banter, well here’s the deal about the new brewery entering Minnesota.
Tomorrow night at the Ale Jail, directly after the Alaskan tasting (5pm – 7pm), Epic Brewing Co. from Salt Lake City, UT brings their wares to the Ale Jail. This will be the first tasting of this beer in the state and the owner of the company is flying into the Twin Cities with the bombers on the plane with him! I had never even heard of them, and am pretty excited about their entrance.
As soon as the Alaskan beers are drained, the Epic beers will roll out–but only for 45 minutes, from 7:15 – 8pm. Not only is the time frame short, but the list is, well, epic:
