Thanks for reading our newsletter. I hope you enjoy some of the great things we have planned. This is the only place to get the first look at what's happening at The Tap Room! Kevin Torpey |
| It's time to do the impossible.... TRIPLE TREAT STONE NIGHT THURSDAY, August. 30 beginning at 6 PM We will have on tap, together for the first time ANYWHERE, three rare offerings from the renown Stone Brewery Stone Enjoy By 9/21/12 IPA Stone Smoked Porter with Vanilla Bean Stone 16th Anniversary IPA I'm truly excited about this event. It's one of the most unique grouping of beers I've every presented at The Tap Room. Together they make a masterpiece beer mosaic you're not likely to encounter again. The name - Stone Enjoy by 9/21/12 may sound a bit strange but it tells you what this beer is really all about - freshness! The beer is NOT meant to last. The 9/21/12 date is only 35 days from the day the beer was kegged so you will drink it fresh or you won't drink it at all! Here at The Tap Room we pride ourselves on only serving the freshest beer possible but this rivals anything that's been available before. Simply put, beer ages. The first thing that starts to fade is the flavor and aroma from by the hops. The olfactory sensations they impart are extremely volatile, and from the moment the beer finishes fermenting, the hop character starts to decrease, and there’s just no bringing it back. Stone's answer to this immutable fact is an amazing 9.4% hop-bomb double IPA. Listen to Brewmaster Mitch Steele explain why and how he did it HERE. Stone Smoked Porter w/ Vanilla Bean was the brainchild of Small Batch Brewer Laura Ulrich, who had a stroke of genius after trying the regular Smoked Porter poured over a couple scoops of vanilla |
| ice cream. The complex flavor of Madagascar vanilla beans melds perfectly with the chocolatey, malty, coffee-like character of the beer, making it almost like a liquid dessert, but without an overbearing sweetness. Stone has justifiably flourished from their opening 16 years ago. Each year, to celebrate their anniversary, the brewery creates a one time only, brew in which they use an assortment of ingredients. The Stone 16th Anniversary IPA uses a variety of malts, hops and botanicals to create an intense, bitter and refreshing IPA perfect for long summer nights. It's another hop heads delight at 85 IBUs! We will have available sampling paddles featuring all three offerings It's a fun way to quickly compare each of these distinct beers and select your favorite. My choice is, well, just ask me and we'll compare notes on Thursday August 30 starting at 6 PM Here's another reason to enjoy Stone beers - they are one of the most eco-friendly breweries in the US. The brewery's roof is covered with solar panels which cut their energy costs nearly in half. The 1,561 roof-mounted solar modules offset more than 538,000 pounds of carbon emissions over its lifetime, which is equivalent to planting 204 acres of trees. Oh, just a reminder that we're continuing the very popular Trappist Tuesdays promotion where you get $4 off every Trappist ale, many of which are considered some of the greatest examples of the brewers art ever produced. Please say hello when you see me at the Tap Room. Also, be sure to check beernexus.com, it's my favorite beer website! I know you join me in my passion for beer, the greatest beverage in the world......... Cheers! Kevin |
