Michigan Beer Tasting Update

June 4, 2009

Here is more information on the Michigan Beer Tasting at 129 and Beeks Bar and Grille. We will be charging $10 for 8 4 oz. samples and 1.50 for an individual sample.  Mt. Pleasant Brewing  will be on the menu along with Founder’s, Bell’s, New Holland, Arcadia, Arbor and Dark Horse.

I am excited to announce Original Gravity’s City of Monroe debut plus Brad Sancho brewer/owner will be there to pour. If you haven’t yet tried his beer here is your opportunity.  Remember his beer is brewed right here in Monroe County and we all should support our local brewer.

Original Gravity’s beer list with descriptions from thier website for the tasting…

440 PEPPER SMOKER:  Amber Ale brewed with German smoked malt to give a pronounced, but well balance smoke profile.  Fresh Jalapenos added during several stages of the brewing process gives this beer the bold Jalapeno flavor and aroma that marries perfectly with the smoke flavor from the malt. O.G = 1.054 – 5.6%                                                                      

BELGIAN TRAINING WHEELS: Refreshing light Belgian Golden Ale.  Straw gold in color this Belgian style “session beer” is brewed with Belgian candi sugar, wheat, and pilsner malt.  The unique yeast strain gives this beer a citrusy and slight tart finish.   O.G. = 1.054 – 5.8%

IPA: Flavor grenade of American hops!  With pronounced hop flavor and aroma this IPA is deliciously citrusy from tons of Cascade and Amarillo hops.  Full flavored, hoppy, well balanced American IPA. O.G = 1.064 – 6.6%
