“La Folie Wood-Aged Biere, is our original wood-conditioned beer, resting in French Oak barrels between one and three years before being hand bottled, numbered and corked for your enjoyment. Brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, came to us from Rodenbach – home of the fabled sour red. Our La Folie emulates the spontaneous fermentation beers of Peter’s beloved Flanders with sour apple notes, a dry effervescence, and earthy undertones.” – From New Belgium’s Web Site
Just wanted to let everyone know that as usual we will be closed on the 4th of July. To fulfill your fine beer needs make sure you go to Bottleworks, which will be open, for a pint, a growler, some bottles, or even a keg for that 4th of july party.
Alright, I’m back in town and I’m ready to get everything here hammered out to keep this draft list updated on a daily basis.
While a flash website is nice and pretty, it’s just been such a hassle for us to update as frequently as we should be. So we’ve switched over to this blog format. We’ll clean it up and make it look prettier as time goes on. The important thing though is that we got the Draftlist on here now, and it is up to date, at least for now. My next step is making it so people other than myself can update it on a daily basis. Alas I’ll be out of town until next week and that will be the next update. Sorry, it’s still a work in progress.
What a crazy week last week was. Monday started off witha bang, Big Time rolled out the Old Wooly Barleywine. Wednesday Big Time cleared the cellar. On Thursday the opening day of the Big Wood festival I was found out that I was capable of doing something I would never would have suspected. Let’s just call it my little circus trick. Matt Bonney wondered aloud if I could balance a snifter on my bald head, so we tried an empty one it worked, I walked up and down the length of the bar, then we had to fill it and guess what? I was able to do it again, my reward, I got to drink the contents, Stella Artois, not too much of a reward in my opinion….to bad I wasn’t a bit more ambitious. Lucky for me a regular was there to capture the moment, ah the joys of modern technology such as Iphones….
Big Wood was a success thanks to all who attended. The winners were, for the second year in a row Flyer’s Bottleworks VII won, second was Lost Abbey’s Brouwers Blend, and third was Port Townsend’s Marker’s Mark Porter. Honorable Mentions were Big Time Dancefloor, Lost Abbey’s Angel’s Share and Dogfish Head Palo Santo. Thanks again to all who were in attendance and made this a success. Stay tuned for more circus tricks, although I am unsure how I will out due this one. I was accused of having model posture so I may be headed of to and Agency real soon.
The idea is simple, keep everyone up to date with all the things that we are doing and plan to do, distribute information about beers tapped, events planned and all the fun that we instigate…all you have to do is tune in here for information and of course come on by and drink a few tasty beverages…I expect to see all of you for the BigWood Festival that starts on Thursday December 4th…
