Saturday July 22
1PM Dovetail Brewery Altbier
Literally, the “old style” of German beers. Malty, bitter and balanced. A top-fermented beer that undergoes cold-conditioning for a crisp, clean finish.
Beer Advocate Score: 89 – Very Good
2PM Begyle Brewing: Imperial Pajamas Coffee Stout
Starting with the recipe for their popular Flannel Pajamas Oatmeal Stout, Begyle doubled the grain and threw in some Ipsento Wildfire espresso beans. YUM!
Beer Advocate Score: 91 – Outstanding
3PM Cultivate by Forbidden Root: Peach Wit
Forbidden Root’s newest core botanical beer! A delicious witbier made with real peach purée that’s been augmented with rose, chamomile, jasmine, mahleb, orris root, sweet osmanthus, and sour orange.
4PM Spiteful Brewing: Working For Each Other IPA (benefits Center on Halsted)
A 7% IPA brewed with Enigma Hops and Star Party Thiolized Yeast. A portion sales from each pint and 4-pack of Working For Each Other goes to Center on Halsted.
5PM is/was brewing: Sepia Amber Biere de Garde
Collab w/ Heavy Duty Brewing
An Amber Biere de Garde brewed with Heavy Duty in Copenhagen. Heavy Duty is a brewing project from wife and husband duo Mari Schneider and Jim Mannion. Sepia represents a mutual commitment to beer flavored beer and classic styles. It pours a beautiful mahogany-amber color with a tan white head. It has notes of dates, toffees, the crust of well baked sourdough, hints of baker’s chocolate, black pepper, and a subtle vinousness.
Sunday July 23
12:30PM Dovetail Brewery Saison
Brewed with 100% Pilsner malt, French Strisselspalt and Hallertau Blanc hops, and an expressive Belgian yeast strain, this beer is a rustic expression of straw and hay, grass and white grape aromas, while open-fermentation nurtures the notes of bubblegum and black pepper.
