Bitter Brawl II - Monday Oct 27th 6:30pm
IPA's with Michael
Agnew.
Hop Heads listen up! The last
Bitter Brawl with Michael was so popular we decided to do
another one! It will be held here at The Four Firkins on
Monday night the 27th at 6:30pm. As usual there are only 35
places available so if you came to the last one please be fair
and don't try to sign up for this one as well. We have to let
everyone have a go!
For those of you who are new to all
of this the "Bitter Brawl" is a super fun beer tasting class
with lots of audience participation. We try six different pale
ales and IPA's and duke it out with each other as to which is
the best example of each. Ultimatley we end up with one best
of show. Be prepared - you will be expected to defend you
beer!!!
As well as being a super nice bloke, Michael
Agnew is a certified Beer Judge and is
the owner of
A Perfect Pint.
If you like what he does here at the "Bitter Brawl" you can
hire him to come to your house and do a private beer tasting
event!
To sign up for the event on the 27th just email
alvey@thefourfirkins.com
Due to the massive response
we get every time we announce one of these classes we are
going to do things a bit differently this time. It will be a
random lottery. Submit your email request by 5pm Monday 20th
and if your name is chosen you'll get an email letting you
know that you're in. If you don't hear back from us that means
you missed out on this one.
Please include "Bitter
Brawl" in your emails subject line.
The class will cost
$15. No coupons this time, sorry!
Good
luck!
Alvey & Sean. |

Sierra Nevada - Wet Hop Harvest Ale
Absolutely Soaking Wet
Hops!
Created in 1996, Harvest Ale
features Cascade and Centennial hops from the Yakima Valley in
Eastern Washington. These hops are harvested and shipped as
"wet" un-dried hops-the same day they are picked-to our
brewery in Chico where our brewers eagerly wait to get them
into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at
their peak. 6.7% ABV
On the shelves
at The Firkins right
now!

Cantillon Iris Very rare beer!
Iris is
made in the style of lambic - fermented by wild yeasts and
aged in oak wine casks at the brewery - but with a couple of
big differences. First, it is made entirely from malted
barley, whereas traditional lambic uses one third unmalted
wheat. In addition, the brewery has used fresh Hallertau hops
in the boil and for dry-hopping the Iris. (Traditional lambic
calls for hops that have been aged for several years, which
impart virtually no hop flavor to the finished product.)
Iris is a rare and unusual treat to thrill the connoisseur
of traditional Belgian beers - absolutely, utterly
unique.
Needless to say,
we don't have many of
these....

Bells Brewing - Hell Hath No Fury!
American "Dubbel"
A brew
that gives you either sympathy for the devil or the courage to
face him. Goes especially well with your favorite lost my
girl/truck/dog/trailer song.
7.7 % ABV this is a very
small batch from Bells, it'll only be around for a few weeks,
it's a huge beer, malty and complex. Absolutely worth a
try.
