EVENT – Meet the Brewer from “The Bruery”

Michael — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 08:00:58 +0000

SF BEER WEEK EVENTS:
bar opens at 4 pm

Thursday, February 11th
Meet the Brewer from “The Bruery“
Time: 6:30pm to 9:00pm

Cost: FREE

Description: Enjoy some of the first kegged products from The Bruery that will be available in San Francisco and have the brewer available to answer any questions you may have about these unique beers.

Tentative beers that will be available for the evening will be:

Rugbrød: Julebryg-style strong brown ale. We took our inspiration for this beer from the traditional Danish dark, wholegrain rye bread. Instead of the caraway flavor found in American-style rye bread, the Danes allow the spicy, slightly bitter character of the rye to shine through. We do the same with this robust ale, adding bready, nutty malts with a hint of roast to complement. And don’t worry, we can’t pronounce it either. (ABV: 8.0%, IBU: 25, SRM: 20)

Mischief: Hoppy Belgian-Style Golden Strong Ale. This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out. (ABV: 8.5%, IBU: 35, SRM: 5)

Saison De Lente: Our Spring Saison is light blonde in color with a fresh hoppiness and a wild and rustic brettanomyces character. Lighter in color and alcohol than our Saison Rue, yet equally complex in its own way. Perfect for warmer weather and Spring celebrations. (ABV: 6.5%, IBU: 35, SRM: 4)

Melange No. Sechs: Created specifically for Valentine’s Day, this is a blend of a bourbon barrel-aged Wheat Wine, bourbon barrel-aged Rugbrød & a one-off beer brewed with beets (for color), cocoa nibs & rose petals. Earthy, floral, & chocolate notes combine in a smooth package, perfect to share with your special someone. (ABV: 9%)
