Happening This Week

Today is when I would typically recap what went on during my last visit to Celebration Town Tavern, like how it was quite busy and there was a good crowd at the bar on a gorgeous, sunny day.  However, it just so happens that most of the time there with Bill was spent discussing what is coming up there this week, so that is what I will focus on.  That seems appropriate to me.

Good crowd for lunch.

This coming Thursday, February 25^th starting at 6:30 will be the first Tweetup at CTT and will also, coincidentally, be the first Tweetup that I will attend in my very young Twitter career.  Now you may be wondering why a guy writing a beer site would be so exited by such an event.  Well, I haven’t gotten to the best part yet.

For the folks attending the Tweetup there will be beer.  Of course you would expect that, but there is a special opportunity to sample a few beers not typically on the list at CTT.  With The Brew Crew Team on board for the occasion, each person coming to the Tweetup will be given a flight of four beers to sample.  After tasting all four, everyone will vote on the beer that they enjoyed the most.  In other words, they are asked to vote for the beer that they would order on their own if they were to visit again.  The winner of this vote will be added to the draft selection at CTT for at least the near future.

How often do you get to help select the beer list where you go for Happy Hour?

Hope for good weather . . . we will be at the outside bar!

And what kind of insider would I be if I didn’t give you the list of four beers that will be voted on that evening?  No need to answer that because I am going to tell you the brewery name and beer name right now!  I won’t get into the style of each beer or my opinions of each quite yet as I do not want to add any preconceived biases to the voting.  Even having tried each of these before, I am not quite sure which way I will cast my vote that night.

Without further delay from me, the four beers will be:

• Oberon Ale (Bell’s Brewery)
• Orange Blossom Pilsner (Thomas Creek Brewery via CFL)
• Brown Ale (Brooklyn Brewery)
• Hazed & Infused (Boulder Beer)

If that isn’t enough incentive to stop by on Thursday, there will also be live entertainment starting at 7:00 and continuing on to 10:00!

Sorry for you Yankees fans who will be attending.

I will likely be the only one there with a camera and a pad of paper, so please say hello if you can stop by.  This is likely the first of many Tweetup events at CTT and it would be a good thing to be one of the “founding members” . . . hint, hint.

See you there!
