Fort Street Brewery’s Brew-Ha-Ha!

August 1, 2009

If you are in the Downriver area there is a great beer event today at Fort Street Brewery that runs 1pm to 8pm. Here are the details from Doug Beedy.

Title: Fort Street Brewery’s Brew-Ha-Ha!
Location: Fort Street Brewery

Description: We’ll have six new beers on tap and 14 beers total on tap. If you think you can come Sunday or Monday and get them, you’ll be sorry! This is one day only and the six new one’s will be gone! In addition to the beers, we’ll have a special beer inspired food menu all week, with a couple of extra items on Saturday. More about the food later.
We’ll also have some great local homebrewers brewing up some beer all day long if you’re interested in the brewing process or getting into homebrewing. Jason Smith from Adventures in Homebrewing will be one of those brewers, and he’ll be happy to answer your brewing questions.
For beers, we’ll have our normal seven beers, plus: “Ring Around the Roselare” (a Flemish red style), “Hops in the Shade” (an IPA made witha couple of new hops I got and fermented with the same yeast as Summer Sunsation), “Brown Coffee” (a brown ale made with coffee), “Bourbon Cherry Brown” (a brown ale made with 40% wheat that I added bourbon soaked cherries to), “The Grapes and Grains of Wrath” (grape and grain fermented together. Essentially a porter/port combination), “Cherries Gone Wild” (malt and cherry juice fermented together with wild yeast. Unlike any fruit beer you’ve ever had!), and finally “Up North” (a rye pilsner).
It’s $5 to get your official logo pint glass and your first 5 oz sample. Additional samples are just $1 and all pints are just $3 for the duration of Brew-Ha-Ha! Five of the beers will be set-up out on the patio, and that’s where you can get your glass and tickets. The big brewery door will be open, so feel free to wander around in the brewery and see what’s going on back there.
