Heritage Thursday Tasting: LOF

By on August 10, 2011in beer events, beer stores

Read on and sample some new Lips of Faith beers at Heritage Thursday.

For this weeks Thursday tasting (11th), we’re excited to dig into the 2 latest New Belgium Lips of Faith releases.  We just received Kick, a slightly tart, pumpkin cranberry ale made in collaboration with Elysian Brewing in Seattle. We will also be pouring Clutch, a sour stout made with the guidance of the musical group of the same name. And you’ll be able to try their current 6 pack summer seasonal, Somersault Ale. Our Thursday tastings run from 5-7PM.

And since we’re on a New Belgium kick (get it…?…sorry…), we’ll make our Bomber of the Week their tasty Grand Cru Abbey, which will be 20% off this week only.
