Online registration is open from now to February 7 at 9:00 PM. http://kcbiermeisters.org/comp/ We will have an excellent line up of home and commercially brewed beer on tap for volunteers. This includes a special barrel aged sour beer made by the club for this event. This year all volunteer meals as well as the awards banquet will be provided by The Local Pig. http://www.thelocalpig.com Saturday afternoon will feature a Spiegelau glassware tasting seminar. Attendees get to keep the tasting set. Pricing is TBD but will be substantially less than the value of the glasses. For the competition location, hotel info, and to register for the banquet or afternoon seminar, go here: http://kcbiermeisters.org/kcbm-competition.html I look forward to seeing many of you next month!

Excelsior Brewing Tour - Tomorrow January 5, 2013 @ 11:30 a.m.

by Bryce Ehrman

Hello Fellow Jabbers, Just a reminder that our tour of Excelsior Brewing is set for tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. If you enter in the alley, there is plenty of parking available. I have included a link below for directions. I have to admit that the person I have been in contact with hasn't been the greatest getting back to me, so we haven't confirmed as to whether we can brew on their pilot system as was originally intended. But plan on being there for a bit, then as a group we can decide to tour other locations. Here are other tap rooms to consider: Indeed Brewing: Open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m., Little G's Pizzeria Food Truck Fulton Brewing: (Tours are first come first serve on the hour from 12-3) Open 12 p.m. - 10 p.m., Barrio Food Truck Lucid Brewing: First week of growler sales, cash $ only, 3-6 p.m. Harriet Brewing: 1 p.m. - 12 a.m., Band at 4 p.m., Cajun 2 Geaux Food Truck Here is link for directions: http://goo.gl/maps/xxOQg See you there!

FW: Forget the Champagne - bring something special to New Year's Eve! Plus: Bigfoot sighting and holiday hours.

Whenever someone asks us about a celebration beer, this is the first thing we think of at the Firkins. Despite the packaging and presentation, make no mistake, this is a beer. DeuS is brewed with barley and hops in its homeland of Belgium, then Champagne yeast is pitched and it's shipped over the border to France for the final maturation in bottles in the caves of Champagne. This is the only beer allowed in the caves sacred to sparkling wine lovers. In France, DeuS undergoes the riddling process for an entire year. This is when the bottles are rotated daily and aged upside-down and at an angle to settle the yeast in the neck. After a year, the yeast plug is frozen at the top of the neck and expunged, just like Champagne wine. Every 12th bottle is then sacrificed to top up the previous eleven. This would be for nothing if DeuS wasn't so divine. It is dry and effervescent like Champagne, but you'll get a much more interesting palette of aromas and flavors than wine because it is brewed with barley and hops. Mint, anise, ginger, almond, and a delicate peach are some of the flavors I pick up. Drink it in a flute and drink it cold, chilled in ice. Unlike other Belgian beers this does taste better with a chill. We have stocked heavily on DeuS ready for the big day. Last year we sold over twenty cases before we sold out. This year we learned our lesson and purchased quite a bit more. It is here now. When you pop the cork on this one you'll have a very cool story to tell your friends and I bet they'll be blown away when they try some. A bonus: this year we have the 2010 and 2011 vintages. The 2011 just started to arrive last week. Try them side by side and see what an additional year can do! Don't bring Champagne to your New Years Eve party. Be bold, be different, bring beer, bring DeuS! -Bryan <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1031.jpg> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> Early Arrival: BIGFOOT. <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1260.jpg> People ask for Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot all year. This iconic American Barleywine has become legend to beer geeks for many reasons; to me it fulfills many promises I think makes beer and beer culture great. For the first time ever it is in 4 packs, and it's almost 2 months early! Bigfoot could be argued to be the first true American Barleywine, parting from its English parent by adding irresposible amounts of hops. This makes it so the sweet caramel, molasses and brown sugar flavors of a traditional barleywine are metered out by huge citrus aromatics and a bitterness that is expertly balanced. In addition, this 9.6%ABV beer is one of the most affordable barleywines on the market. We are not kidding when we say people buy this by the case! We will not have a purchase limit, so if you want two cases you will be set until next year. If you ever had the thought to cellar beer, this is the one to get yours going. You can keep it in a cool, dark area of your house and over time it will develop port and sherry-like tones. The hops will mellow. Because Sierra Nevada's volume make this so affordable, it would be a perfect start for your first beer cellar. We drank a 2003 vintage last week and it tasted like Christina Hendricks had asked me on a date. (I would have to politely decline, but it would be awfully flattering.) -Bryan <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> Holiday Hours! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1261.jpg> Hey, listen up!
