Artenbru Update

ARTENBRU is shifting gears.

We were told several months ago that sampling the beers would be on the up and up, but The Man came calling this week to tell us a different story. So sadly, the fantastic beers our BRUmasters created will have to stay in the keg a little longer.

But that’s the end of the bad news.

The good news: ARTENBRU will still take place tomorrow, FRIDAY, NOV. 19 at 8:00 p.m. at the Black Dog Cafe in Lowertown. You’ll still see great posters. Pints of Surly Furious and Fulton Lonely Blonde will still be available all night for only $2. DJ Double Trouble will still be spinning records — vinyl style — starting at 9:00 p.m. . And of course, you’ll still have chance to win some great prizes in our raffle.

The good people of ARTENBRU, we will see you tomorrow at 8:00!

Please let us know if you have specific questions by emailing us at: artenbru@gmail.com.

CHEERS! Nick, Sam and James

The Beer Knight

The short story – Lanny Hoff is the reason we have access to a lot of the great Belgian beers we all enjoy. Lanny was recently knighted in Belgium for all of his hard work.

“The Chevalerie du Fourquet des Brasseurs Knights of Honour are chosen for their service to the brewing profession. These are people who have risen to the top of their profession and have attracted attention as selfless defenders of beer. They are not always brewers, as illustrated by the induction of author and Beer Hunter Michael Jackson, or American beer bar owners Dave Alexander and Tom Peters.”

If you’ve never had the pleasure of speaking with Lanny (or just hearing him speak) about beer, make time. Speaking of which, The Heavy Table did just that… give it a read!
