New Brewery Offers Epic Tasting

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:

Intermountain Wheat
Capt’n Crompton’s Pale Ale
Cross Fever Amber Ale
Galloway Porter
Spiral Jetty IPA
Pfeifferhorn Lager
Copper Cone Pale Ale (Bronze Medal, SDIBF)
825 State Stout (Bronze GABF 2010, Oatmeal Stout )
Hopulent IPA
Brainless Belgian Golden Ale (Double Gold, SDIBF & NABA)
Brainless on Cherries
Brainless on Peaches
Sour Apple Saison
Straight Up Saison
Wit
Imperial Red Ale
Imperial IPA release#2 or release#3
Imperial Stout
Rio’s Rompin’ Rye
Smoke and Oaked Belgian Style Ale Release 1, one year old, release 3 is coming out shortly!
Barley Wine

This will be the only opportunity until the beers arrive at the local distributor sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.

Attending Beer School tomorrow? No problem, stop by after class, it’s a hop, skip and a jump!
