This Thursday, the Pickering Creek Inn is hosting Craft Brew Night from 6-8pm featuring two great brews from Bear Republic: Red Rocket Ale and Crazy Ivan. In addition, there will be a FREE buffet, pint specials, and glassware giveaways per usual.
And now to the brews…
Red Rocket Ale (6.8% abv) – A bastardized Scottish style red ale that traces it’s origins to Bear Republic’s Roots. This full bodied and hoppy brew finishes on the palate with sweet, caramel malt flavors.
Crazy Ivan (6.9% abv) – This copper colored American IPA took a wild left turn when fermented with Trappist ale yeast. Charged with hops, followed closely by a clove and pepper Belgian yeast character.
Some come on out, get all grizzly, and kick out the jams at karoake afterwards!
This Thursday at 6:00pm, Bear Republic will be on hand to pour three of their best brews from Cloverdale, CA. They’ll be giving out a ton of cool swag and offering up pint specials, plus you’ll get to keep your glass. The Beer Advocate has rated 61 of their beers and the brewery has earned the excellent grade of “A-”. That’s pretty impressive. In any case, they’ll be tapping the following…
Hop Rod Rye (ABV 8.0%) – Essentially a bold American IPA made with 20% rye malt. Darker in color, Hop Rod Rye boasts a huge hop aroma and flavor accompanied by a slightly sweet, malty finish.
Red Rocket Ale (ABV 6.8%) – The LA Times deemed this one “Beer of the Month” in April! This fiery red ale is not for the weak at heart. Red Rocket is a full bodied, hoppy brew which finishes on the palate with caramel malts.
Racer X (A.B.V. 7.8%) – This bold winter ale follows English brewing traditions, but with a California twist. Bold hops, but balanced … It’s a double IPA!
So shuffle on out this Thursday and suck down some suds, suckers!
