Another early afternoon visit to Celebration Town Tavern with Bill yesterday of course meant crossing off a few more beers from the Beer Club list, but on this occasion there was also much to discuss. We started off going over some options to modify the bottle list a bit in the near future. A handful of beers are coming off the lineup, so that means that some new beers have a chance to be added in. Be sure to keep an eye out for some new arrivals.
Then I would say the largest amount of the discussion after that was of another event coming up very soon. One week from today on Wednesday, March 31st starting at 5:30 will be the second monthly Tweetup at CTT! Since so many things worked well at the first one last month, some of the fun will be familiar for those who joined us for that one. For those of you who missed it, I will give you some incentive to make it there this time.
It is that time again.
For the folks attending the Tweetup there will again be beer. Of course you would expect that anyway, but there is another special opportunity to sample a few beers not typically on the list at CTT. With The Brew Crew Team continuing to be on board for the occasions, each person coming to this 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 and more specifically 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.
Last month’s winner was Orange Blossom Pilsner and it is currently holding down a tap position as it waits for the next winner to take that slot. We are trying to think of an appropriate name for that rotating tap to have going forward, so if you have any creative ideas please be sure to share them.
Time to name the heir to the OBP tap handle!
I have said it before, but how often do you get to help select the beer list where you go for Happy Hour and the big games?
Now comes the exciting part of announcing the four beers that will compete for inclusion on the draft list for the month. I think there is a good range of styles here for everyone as well as two that are already on the Beer Club bottle list. So if you have been hesitant to try them at CTT before, you will have a free shot at doing so next Wednesday.
The four beers and styles this month will be:
- Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Chico, CA) – American Pale Ale
- Abita Andygator (Abita Springs, LA) - Doppelbock
- Dogfish Head Aprihop (Milton, DE) – American IPA (with apricots)
- Avery White Rascal (Boulder, CO) - Witbier
If that isn’t enough incentive to stop by a week from now, there is live entertainment lined up to start around 7 PM!
Come enjoy the great weather at the outdoor bar.
I am looking forward to seeing the founding members who were there last month and hopefully many new faces. The Wife and I will be running around with cameras and I will likely be taking some notes so we should be easy to pick out of the crowd. Please do say hello if you see us. Last month was a lot of fun and I have no doubts that this one will be even better!
See you there!
