Pour Cask Ales for Pop The Cap!
|
|
This news from Mr. Pop The Cap himself, Sean Wilson.
"I'm looking for a total of eight volunteers for Pop The Cap's Cask Ale Tent at the October 7th World Beer Festival.
If you serve from 12-4, you get to go to the evening session for free. Same if you serve from 6-10...you can do the afternoon session.
The Cask Ale Tent supports PTC's ongoing mission to elevate beer culture in North Carolina. More importantly, it's air conditioned.
PM me or email me if you're interested.
Thanks!
Sean Wilson"

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me, especially since the tickets for this event are quickly selling out.
Keep up with updates in the forums.

DUCK-RABBIT CRAFT BREWERY CELEBRATES 2ND ANNIVERSARY
Farmville, NC—The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery celebrates its second anniversary with a Pint Night at Raleigh’s Flying Saucer Draught Emporium on Wednesday, August 9, 2006.
The event unveils the brewery’s Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter, third in a series of limited-release seasonal specialty beers. The Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter is deep, rich and velvety soft. A full blooded roasty character is balanced by complex alcohol notes. Strong (9% alcohol by volume) yet unfailingly subtle, this special brew warrants sipping and savoring. Accolades abound in the brewing community as brewmaster and founder Paul Philippon’s distinguished portfolio of beers has expanded to include a series of seasonal specialties—the Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter follows the Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout and Wee Heavy Scotch Style Ale.
Specializing in dark beers, the Farmville, North Carolina brewery entered the craft beer market in August of 2004, offering Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale, Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale, Duck-Rabbit Porter and Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout. Duck-Rabbit sales continue to climb throughout North Carolina, as well as South Carolina and Eastern Tennessee.
Event Details:
What: Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery 2nd Anniversary Celebration. The first 120 pints sold will be served in take-home Duck-Rabbit logo glassware.
Where: Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, located at 328 West Morgan Street, in downtown Raleigh
When: 7pm on Wednesday, August 9, 2006.
Information: Contact Jay Wilson at 919.559.5091 or jwilson@duckrabbitbrewery.com

Oskar Blues Rolling Into North Carolina
|
|
We know from "where the new beers are" that Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub have been popping up around NC for the past couple of weeks.
Here's the press release I just received from the brewery;
For Immediate Release
March 24, 2006
Oskar Blues Enters North Carolina Market
Raising of state's alcohol level in beer clears way for "Canned Beer Apocalypse" and Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub
(Lyons, Colorado) -- Oskar Blues Brewery the nation's first hand-canning craft brewery - has entered the North Carolina market.
The company's highly acclaimed canned beers -- Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub Scottish-Style Ale -- are now appearing on North Carolina shelves. The beers are also appearing on draft in select North Carolina bars and restaurants.
The beers were previously not permitted in North Carolina due to the state's restriction on beers above 6% abv. But Dale's Pale Ale (6.5% abv) and Old Chub (8% abv) were made legal last summer, when the state's Pop the Cap consumer group successfully lobbied the state government to raise the allowable alcohol percentage to 15% abv.
"We're glad we can provide Carolina consumers with big, rich beers in handy little cans," says Oskar Blues Brewery founder Dale Katechis. "Beer lovers there understand great beer, and many of them enjoy time in the outdoors, where a great beer is especially satisfying. So we figure our luscious, highly portable craft beers will be a hit in North Carolina."

Saint Valentine's Day Beer Options
|
|
Valentine's Day, what a wonderful exhilarating time for us all! We get to spend our money on flowers that are already dying, cards that will eventually clutter our landfills and fancy chocolate (hopefully we can enjoy the chocolate). But it seems that craft beer gets overlooked a bit during this holiday smeared with romance.
Since there have been so many requests for examples of beers that could go well during Hallmark's biggest money making scheme Valentine's Day, I've compiled a lengthy list. And here it is;
Well, I don't know about you guys, but making that list made me a bit tired. I think I'm going to start getting ready for my Valentine's Day celebration. I need to dig through my cellar for a bottle of Dark Lord Imperial Stout (Three Floyd's Brewing) and head to the store to pick up a few hershey bars. I hope yours is as good as mine!

The National Beer Wholesalers Association seem to be wondering if you can follow a recipe.
I'm pretty sure you can manage it. But then again, I'm your friend. Maybe I'm too close to your situation and maybe I can't think clearly. I hope I'm wrong.
Well, the chance is yours now to show the NBWA what you're made of. Submit your favorite beer based recipe to EatBeer.com between now and my birthday (July 31st - write it down!) and if you win, then you are going to be a millionaire!
Ok, well, the winner doesn't exactly become a millionare, but they do get the following: The grand prize winner will receive a seven day trip for two to the Golden Crown Paradise Resort and Spa in Cancun Mexico, airfare and transfers included, plus $500 in spending money.
Winner or not, you're still a great cook in my opinion! Unless you're cooking tofu cookies or something!
