Liberty/Panhead/Fitzpatrick's
During a brief window this evening we'll be joined by brewers Joseph Wood (Liberty), Mike Neilson (Panhead) and Craig Fitzpatrick (Fitzpatrick's) before take a wheelbarrow to the Brewers Guild Awards Dinner to collect their trophies. And at the same time we'll be making sure we have several of their beers on tap. Fitzpatrick's have found a second and final keg of their magnificent Imperial Porter. We've got two of the first kegs of Panhead's XPA and Pilsner. And from Liberty we've got some Sauvignon Bomb a rare keg of Bhuty Chocolate Stout.
As a wise bartender once said of the Bhuty Chocolate - "Deep chocolate love burns so good".
Live Music
Tonight marks the start of a mini-festival of live music at 10pm each night in our lounge, to coincide with all the other Beer Week festivities.
This evening it's the Tony Mad Trio playing Texas Boogie in a Stevie Ray Vaughan-soft of way.
Tomorrow it's regular favourite and living legend Darren Watson with his Underground Blues Band.
Finally on Saturday night it's another regular favourite - the X-Ray Catz.
Remember that every gig is completely free.
New Release Tuesday
We've pencilled in a pretty exciting beer for next Tuesday, in the hope that a certain container full of beer will have reached us by then. It's Southern Tier Plum Noir - an Imperial Stout made with Italian plums. Yes this is the same brewery that came up with Pumking and Crème Brûlée, so expect something ambitious and unusual.
There is an element of risk in naming this beer before our shipment has arrived, but all going well Plum Noir will go on tap at 5pm on Tuesday.
