Thursday is Dogfish and New Holland Beer Night.

A couple posts ago I blah, blah, blahed about how much Capone's shows up on this blog. Well here I go again and for good reason. On Thursday Capone's is doing a HUGE Dogfish Head promo. Matt starts the afternoon off right and continues through the day pouring 9 Dogfish beers. I have never seen 60 (6%abv), 90 (9%abv),120 (20%abv), W.W. Stout (18%), Palo Santo (12%abv) and Theobroma (10%abv) all on at the same time. To top it all off Randall the Enamel Animal makes it's appearance on the 90 minute. As you can tell from those abv percentages this is not a session beer event (check below for that one). I suggest hiring a designated driver for the night.

Not to be outdone Ortino's Northside is having a New Holland Release Party. Join Dr. Joel "Ambassador of Hand Crafted beers for the New Holland Brewing Company" and the man behind, The Grain Bill for a night of beer, fun and merriment. It all starts at 7pm.

New Holland Beers

Pilgrims Dole, Wheat Wine
Cabin Fever, American Brown Ale
Dragons Milk Oak Barrel Ale, American Strong Ale

If the high octane brews of Dogfish Head and New Holland are a bit much for your evening's consumption then head to Tria's Fermentation School for, "The Session Beer Project", with Lew Bryson. Lew spreads the knowledge of full flavor low alcohol beers. Sample some of his favorites and learn that great beer can come with an abv under 5%. Class runs 6:30-8:00pm and seats are $50.00.

I am so jealous. You got to meet Randall. I have yet to try that many Dog Fish beers on tap. It is hard to get them out west I guess. Sounds like a great time.
I hope next weekend I get to meet Randall at Beerfest, (aka The Big Pour).

The Randallized 90 Minute IPA was great. I love Capone's because they even put that beer in a pint glass. No skimpy pours.

I just checked the brewers list for The Big Pour and I am jealous of what you will be drinking this weekend. Enjoy it.
