Who loves hops?


Really in this city, not liking hops is more of an issue. We just tapped our keg of Black Raven’s Wisdomseeker Double Ipa. I just had a glass and it is delicious. I assure you this one will not last very long. So let your boss know you are leaving early, or get a sudden case of the Tuesday’s, find some way out of the office, or the house.

In other news…. Mark your calenders for Wednesday, August 10th, 5pm, its Port/Lost Abbey night here, we will be tapping 25 different Port/Lost Abbey beers. Tomme Arthur will be here to celebrate with all of us.

and Hopfest starts Friday September 9th.

We will be closed…

We will close on Monday, July 4th so that our staff can enjoy the fireworks.
We will close on Tuesday, July 5th from 2:30-6:30 for a private party, we will be open for lunch and then reopen for regular business at 6:30.
We will close on Monday, July 11th for an employee appreciation party.
AND……

On July 7th we are having a Four Roses Bourbon night, starting at 6pm. We will be pouring:
Yellow Label
Single Barrel
Small Batch
and Brouwer’s Single Barrel
We are offering a signature cocktail made with each, and a 1oz flight of all four. We are really looking forward to this night. Mark your calenders now.

The sun is shining…


It’s the Solstice today, the longest day of the year, and its sunny hope you get outside and enjoy it.
A while back we received some barrel samples from 4 Roses Whiskey. Matt and Matt got together and sampled them all and decided on one. Well a week or so ago we received the bottled version of the barrel they decided on. It comes in at 61.2 percent alcohol and spent 8year and 8 months in the barrel, we have all decided that it is best with a few cubes added to bring out the floral notes. We are also in the planning stages of a 4 Roses event that is tenatively scheduled for Thursday, June 7th. More details to come. We also have plans for the barrel itself….look for something special down the road, possibly Big Wood.

We will be closed on the 4th of July, hope you enjoy the fireworks.

On July 5th we will be open for lunch, but closed from 3-6:30 for a private event and then open for regular business after that.
