From the White House to Your House!
Homebrewing has reached the White House! For the first time ever, homebrewing is happening on a regular basis at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Regardless of your politics, if you’re a homebrewer or ever thought about homebrewing – that’s saying a lot about the hobby that 35 years ago was still illegal in our country.
A few days ago (and after much popular demand), the White House released two of its recipes to the public – a Honey Ale and Honey Porter. Now you can brew these White House Ales in your own home using recipe kits exclusively from Northern Brewer.
Drink a Surlyfest with Omar
Bricks Pub in Blaine is hosting a Surly party on their patio on September 11, from 6 -9pm. They will be serving Surlyfest for $5 a pint, and they will have a special Surly barbeque menu for the night. They say that Surly claims that they will also be bringing “something special to tap”.
That’s right, taste the 2012 SurlyFest with Surly’s owner, Omar Ansari, 11 days before they release it at the brewery.
* Update: “Something special to tap” means Surly SYX and Cacao Bender. And you’ll have the chance to win Surlyfest tickets and tickets to the Autumn Brew Review.
