I never considered the great song writer Oscar Hammerstein a beer aficionado but he laid down an extremely worthy bit of advice to we folks that are when he wrote: "Give me some men who are stout-hearted men Who will fight for the right they adore Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men And I'll soon give you ten thousand more-ore" Good old Oscar wasn't talking about our kind of stout but he would have if he could see the lineup I've put together for our first ever STOUT FESTIVAL beginning on Jan. 7, 2014. Each of the special stouts we will be pouring is made with the finest malts which give the style its famous dark color and roasted flavors. Traditionally the word stout meant strong and was applied to Porter in the 18th century - most typically by Guinness, which was one of the few breweries to continue making such beers into the 20th century. Guinness is an excellent Dry Stout but it's available just about everywhere so you won't see it at our festival. After all, this is Nik's Wunderbar where you'll find not just good beer but the rarest gems that truly represent the depth of a beer style. Take a look at the beers we will be pouring and you'll see what I mean. This is likely the finest lineup of extraordinary stouts available anywhere! Ovilsholt Lava Smoked Stout Porterhouse Oyster Stout Fort Collins Double Chocolate Stout Kane Silent Nights Garun Imperial Stout Harpoon Chocolate Stout Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout BFM Alex Le Rouge Avery The Czar Weyerbacher Heresy 2012 Founders Breakfast Stout Moa Imperial Stout Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Green Flash Double Stout Flying Dog Kujo Here is the deal - we will have 4 different stouts on at one time and will rotate in new ones as they kick. This is our entire lineup - and yes, we will have them all. Remember, the festival begins on January 7th. Will you be one of the truly dedicated beer lovers who drinks each different stout in the festival? ----------------- Special thanks to my favorite beer website, BeerNexus.com , for joining with me in presenting this newsletter.
