Fresh/Wet Hop Release at Town Hall

By on October 5, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Town Hall is releasing this year’s fresh hop beer Monday so make your plans now to get over there for some wet, hoppy goodness. Plus, in case you missed the news about the three GABF medals they picked up, the details are below.

Hop Lovers!

Fresh/Wet Hop Week 10/10-10/14 at Town Hall Brewery

We will Release Town Hall Fresh Hop 100 on Monday. This year Fresh Hop 100 was brewed using Chinook hops grown by Van Horn Farms in the Yakima Valley. These hops were picked on a Tuesday and in our brew kettle Wednesday morning, still nice and wet from the vine. For the seventh year we are happy to bring you this harvest ale made 100% from Fresh, Wet hops. This is a rare practice as most brewers do not put wet hops in the kettle, most use pellets in the kettle or in some cases extracts.

As always Town Hall Fresh Hop 100 features 100% Fresh, Green, Wet Hops!

This beer is extreamly limited and will start pouring shortly after we open Monday at 11am. Pints will be $6. (pint club members you will recieve your discount- Sorry, no other discounts apply to this beer) Due to limited quantity we will only sell 60 growlers of Fresh Hop 100, first come first serve-doors open at 11 am Monday and growlers limited to 1 growler per person cost will be $18 refill price, 3 bucks more with no return. Yes, those 60 growlers will hide a nice big hop bud inside. Wish there were more, but that is the best we can do.

All week we will also feature Fresh/Wet Hop beers from four other brewers, so you can get your Fresh Hop Sampler and try all 5! We will be pouring:

**Town Hall Fresh Hop 100
**Surly Wet
**Founders Harvest
**Deschutes Fresh Hop Mirror Pond Heirloom Cascade
**Two Brothers Heavy Handed Centennial
**We will have one “On Deck” keg to back up the first keg that empties**
** “On Deck”- Lift Bridge Harvestor

We will have thes beers all serving monday by 3pm (I hope much earlier, but some we have to pick up Monday morn).

We are proud of our customers….here is a reason for you to be proud of your local Brew Pub.

Just returned from the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Your local Brew Pub was one of 525+ breweries that compeated for 248 medals with nearly 4000 beer entries from all over the country. The 125+judges from all over the globe awarded your local Brew Pub, Town Hall Brewery, 3 medals! Gold medal for Hope and King Scoth Ale, Silver medal for LSD, and Silver medal for Eye of the Storm. Thanks for your continued support that allows our brewery to continue striving for excellence.

Come get some hops next week!

Cheers,
Mike

Mort Noir Tapping at Rock Bottom

By on September 24, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Stop in at Rock Bottom for the tapping of their Mort Noir, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale.

It got its name (schoolboy French for “Black Death”) from the reaction to the color and strength of the brew as it left the Brew Kettle. A dark malty Belgian style ale, matured over raisins. The beer has moderate fruit flavors with lots of malt character. Ultimately this beer will be served in bottles but we like it so much we thought we should give you a sneak peek. Stop by for a glass of this outstanding beer.
