LIFT A GLASS TO HOMEBREWERS!
May 2, 2008
SOME OF OUR BEST FRIENDS ARE HOMEBREWERS! In fact all of
our “professional” brewers (Brian, Dave, Charlie and Stu)
began their careers by brewing their own recipes at home.
We are lucky to have a pretty organized bunch of
homebrewers (is that an oxymoron?) in the St. Louis area
with the St. Louis Brews (check out their website at
www.stlbrews.org) and the Garage Brewers
(www.garagebrewers.com) out here in St. Charles County.
And hundreds of other homebrew clubs exist all over the US
– and you can find one close by at
www.beertown.org/homebrewing/listings.
SATURDAY IS NATIONAL HOMEBREW DAY and the Garage Brewers
are hosting Big Brew Day at the O'Fallon Brewery. They'll
bring their equipment and set-up on the parking lot and
begin brewing around 10 a.m. At noon we'll have a
celebratory toast simultaneously with homebrewers across
the country and by four they'll be cleaning up. The public
is welcome to by and visit with them and learn a little
more about their craft.
ST. LOUIS BREWERS HERITAGE FESTIVAL is May 9 and 10 at
Forest Park. This is the biggest and best beer fest in the
area and features all the amazing beers that are produced
in and around our town – you'll be surprised at the number
of styles and flavors. Find more information and buy your
tickets at www.stlbrewfest.com.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO IRON BARLEY! Saturday the 10th marks
five years of fine food and great beer in south St. Louis.
To celebrate join them for Maifest and a big brunch,
followed by a bus trip to the Heritage Festival and more
good food and beer at Iron Barley upon your return. For
details go to www.ironbarley.com.
STILL LOOKING FOR SOME PAPPY PORTER? I’m told that a few
retailers still have some of the spring 2008 release of
O’Fallon Whiskey Barrel Smoked Porter (the one aged in the
23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels). Call ahead
to make sure they still have a few bottles:
Hampton House of Liquors
Whole Foods
Macklind Avenue Deli
Wine Merchant Clayton
Wine & Cheese Place Clayton
Dierberg's Deer Creek
Dierberg's 79 Crossing
Dierberg's West Oak
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, enjoy a good beer and let's all make
the world a better place, one beer at a time.
Cheers!
