Raleigh Beer Week

Haven't heard much on this either. I did see that Trophy and Deep River have an imperial IPA collab dry hopped with Farm Boy Farm hops...looking forward to trying that. Best bet is probably to keep an eye on Busy Bee, Trophy, and Tasty Bev's Twitter feeds.

 

Sorry for the delay. The website will be updated by tomorrow afternoon and there are some great events lined up. I'll try to post a list of events here in a few. We all helped brew a beer at Big Boss that all the venues will be tapping to kick beer week off: A Belgian Pale Ale w/ cherries aged in apple brandy barrels!

 

Here's a link to the schedule...like I said, the actual website will have it up tomorrow afternoon as well. Cheers! RBW2013_85x11_Legal_Print_VF_outlined_zps7b228ab4.jpg

 

It looks like some Great events, unfortunately for me; I'll be passing through Raleigh around noon on Friday 8-29 on the way to the beautiful NC Crystal Coast for LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Cheers

 

Woody, that list looks great!

 

aug 29 and 31 jump out to me.

 

So, what's the deal with the Raleigh Beer Week snifters? I could've sworn I read something that made me think I'd be able to take it home with me yesterday when I order the Mon Cheri on draft.

 

I think it depends on the place. Trophy wasn't giving them away last night, but Bottle Revolution will today if you buy the Oskar Blues Vesuvius (via their facebook).

 

Yesterday at noon, when I thought everyone would be giving away the snifters, I believe Bottle Revolution was the only place who did, and I think they only gave away some yesterday....and I've heard some say they might plan to sell them, as opposed to giving them away with a special draft.

 

A lot of places will be giving them away as the week goes on. Most venues have 2 events so they're hanging onto them for both. We'll be giving some away at the Bee on Thursday! For other venues I think the best bet would be to reach out on social media to find out their plans.

 

I can't wait for your Barrel Aged Blowout!

 

Well that works....cause your Barrel-Aged Blowout is the event that I'm most looking forward to....so I'll hopefully get one then. Gotta keep the Raleigh Beer Week glass vertical going!

 

I'm hitting Brev then BB tomorrow. If you don't get a glass, let me know. I already got my glass on Sunday from Brev, so when I get one tomorrow I won't need it.

 

Thanks, but I actually got one at Bottle Revolution too...Vesuvius was quite tasty.

 

Thanks! What an amazing turnout. We had a blast. As far as next year....there's typically a lottery for event dates/times, so we'll see!

 

I agree...excellent event...car trouble kept me from getting there early enough to get a seat downstairs....so I fought for three glasses of Black Note, Substance Abuse, and Event Horizon and fled upstairs to enjoy them on the patio.

I'm sure downstairs was a great party....but can't say I had a problem with drinking on three magnificent barrel-aged stouts while sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon/evening.

 

I went with Black Note and Substance Abuse, wish I could've had more. The Bee is awesome.
