This week, Blue Dog Family Tavern in Chalfont thanked it’s customers by holding an invite only event that was highlighted by samples of Westvleteren XII and a vertical tasting of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.  Also available during the event was a wide selection of bottles including Perennial Abraxas, Cascade Kriek (2011) and Goose Island’s Lolita and Juliet.

In addition, North Wales-based Prism Brewing and Owner/Brewer Rob DeMaria, was on hand with bottles of their newest release of “Subsequently Don,” a Barleywine dedicated to Rob’s Step-Father, which should be seen in stores locally soon.

Blue Dog Owner Chris Stobb explained that this event, the seventh of its kind, “is intended, in part, as Blue Dog’s ‘thank you’ for all your support.”  It was a wonderful evening with a friendly group of people that I will be much looking forward to again next year! Thank you, Blue Dog!

Cheers!

National Mead Day – August 2, 2014

Posted on by

Time to get your fermented honey on!  It’s National Mead Day – organized by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in 2002, Mead Day was created to increase mead awareness and foster camaraderie among meadmakers.  I’ll never forget the pairing session with Moonlight Meadery and Lindt Chocolates during the National Homebrew Conference in Philadelphia in 2013 – what an eye-opening experience!

I’ve got some bottles of mead to crack open later today – follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see what I think!

Happy Mead Day!

It’s finally here!  Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp – Mid-Atlantic Edition will be held today at Penn Treaty Park from 12- 5!  With over 75 brewers attending, I hope you have your priority beer tasting list ready.  Some newcomers on the attendance list include Battlefield Brew Works, Conshohocken Brewing Company, Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Company, while some pillars of the brewing community will be there as well, like Victory, Dock Street, Yards, Allagash and Firestone Walker.  Looks like it’s going to be a great day for Camp!

Cheers!
