What’s next? Well, the month of March is filling up fast
with events here at Brouwer’s Café.
Wednesday, March 16
th starting at 3pm is
“If you don’t know, now you know!”, is a night with
Melvin Brewing. Owner/Field
Hoperative Jeremy Tofte will be joining us to officially launch Melvin into the
Seattle market. We will be tapping 4 Melvin beers (and maybe a few more!),
including the
2x4, a Pale Ale (aka Heubert), the Melvin IPA and Asterisk DIPA,
and showcasing some of Jeremy’s favorite things (Wu Tang and Kung Fu!).
Thursday, March 24
th starting at 3pm,
we will be celebrating our 11
th Anniversary! Can you believe
it’s been 11 years? What a wild ride, and we couldn’t do it without your
continued support! So, for this special celebration we have Steve Luke of
Cloudburst Brewing (who brewed our 9
th anniversary at Elysian,
and is known for his hoppy creations!) making the 11th Anniversary Hu11abalo
DIPA. Expect it to be one hoppy ding dong! In honor of Steve’s love of tropical
patterns, we’re asking everyone to wear their favorite Hawaiian shirt, but have
procured quite a few ourselves in case you forget! Look for there to be other beers
from Cloudburst on draft as well.
Saturday March 26th is
Orval Day, and it’s coming to
Seattle this year, hosted by us! What is Orval and why do they get a whole day
dedicated to them? If you ask 100 brewers what their favorite beer is, we bet
more than half of them will say, “Orval.” Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery has been
making 1 beer and that beer is the stuff of legends. ”Three different malts,
two types of hops, Belgian candy sugar, complex fermentation with multiple
yeasts, dry-hopping and bottle conditioning all contribute to great character
and complexity.” –
merchantduvin.com The
challenge has been extended to select bars around the country to see which one
can pour (and have their patrons consume!) the most Orval in a single day. We
would of course love that honor, but need your help in making this happen! Come
to Brouwer’s and taste (again or for the first time) the first Brett beer to
land on the shores of the United States. Starts at 11AM.
and then its on to April...
Saturday, April 9th all day long is “6
Degrees of Inebriation”, which will raise money for select local charities
(still working on which ones!). 6 Breweries including Firestone Walker, New
Belgium, Deschutes, HUB, Sierra Nevada and Two Beers proposed this event, so
look for rare beers as well as some core beers from these 6 breweries. Some of
the proceeds will be donated to charity and there will be a game show (complete
with interactive games!) from 4-6pm. This is an all day event, but show up
early to sign up for the game show. We will have a draftlist soon and it will
not disappoint
