Although nothing is for sure, we've got a good idea of what beers we'll have available at Brickhouse BBQ. Mind you, this could change and more could be added or something could be unexpectedly taken off the list, here's what you will likely see on tap in addition to Brickhouse's always impressive tap list.
Central Waters kegs being tapped especially for the event...
Peruvian Morning - "A Bourbon Barrel aged Imperial Stout made with freshly roasted Emy J's Coffee. This beer is as complex as it gets. Flavors of vanilla, tannins, and coffee meld together to create a flavor as deep as the ravines of the Peruvian Andes!"
Bourbon Barrel Barleywine - "Flavors of bourbon, malt, and hops meld quite good
Served at cellar temp like it should
Unified in one voice, Our fans can rejoice
Charlie now comes aged in wood!
** 2008 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal Winner in the oak and barrel aged strong beer category **"
Bourbon Barrel Stout - "The brewery's most highly sought after beer, this imperial stout is aged to perfection in oak bourbon barrels. Look for this tasty treat to contain hints of bourbon and vanilla with roasted overtones that is sure to please any connoisseur's palate. Serve this beer at cellar temperature from a snifter glass, and enjoy this expression of our passion for brewing."
Illumination Double IPA - While there is no description for this one up on the brewery's website, I can tell you it's a big balanced Double IPA that's 9% abv. Despite it's 108 IBUs, I find this to be well-balanced and quite drinkable.
Short's kegs being tapped for the event...
Huma Lupa Licious - "Named after the hop flower Humulus Lupulus, this best selling India pale ale style beer has enormous amounts of hops which really seems like a punch in the face. Hop flowers from the numerous strains used in this recipe render a delicious bitter taste and enticing citrus aroma. Flavors from a hearty malt bill meld with the hops to balance this ale and provide a ridiculous urge to sample more."
Hangin' Frank - "Ale hopped like IPA and drinks like a Pale Ale – Also know and a strong pale. Unlike its un-identical twin brother, Stellar Ale, this hop monster employs more toasted grains and high alpha hops. Hops are the focus of this ale, but not to be undermined with a hearty malt base. Big hop aroma is followed by the cool refreshment of a toasted sourdough biscuit covered which is then covered with zesty citrus hop marmalade."
Agave Peach Wheat - There is no mention of this one on the Short's site, but it sounds like a nice easy drinking summer brew...
The Woodmaster - "High gravity brown ale brewed with earthwork maple syrup and toasted pecans." You may have been lucky enough to try this one out of the bottle at the Great Taste the last couple of years.
[Update: 08/03] -> Well, I did say that this list could change. Gone are Hangin' Frank, Agave Peach Wheat, and Woodmaster. Welcome to Key Lime Pie, Good Humans, and Black Licorice Lager.
Remember, this beer list could change. Also, sounds like Brickhouse has some nice surprises in store for people. No matter what, this promises to be a great event with all sorts of great people to hang out with.
Thanks again to Short's and Central Waters for working with us to get some great beers on tap and for Brickhouse BBQ for hosting and doing a lot of the behind the scenes work on this!
