Here’s a list of upcoming beer events:

• July 3 - Firkin Friday at The Stable - Dry Hopped Sky High Rye

I’ve made a change in how the beer tastings will be listed in the Friday Round-Up, it’s going to be a week’s worth of tastings starting with the Friday that the list is posted. So if you’re a retail shop, bar, restaurant, brewery or distributor and want me to list your tasting, make sure to email me at mike@stlhops.com.

Today, from 4PM to 6:30PM the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton will be having a tasting featuring Avery Anniversary Sixteen Saison, Founders Devil Dancer, Ola Dubh 40yr Old Casks, St. Germain Page 24 Blanche, Grand Teton Bitch Creek Double ESB, and McAuslan 2009 Anniversary Ale. Additional information can be found at their blog.

Provisions Market in Creve Coeur will be sampling a variety of these beers: Pyramid Curve Ball Blonde Ale, Haywire Hefe Weizen, Audacious Apricot Ale and Magic Hat #9. This tasting will be on Wednesday, July 8th and will run from 5PM-7PM.

Once again, if you’re a retail shop, bar, restaurant, brewery or distributor and want me to list your tasting, make sure to email me at mike@stlhops.com.

This post was originally going to be about your beer cellars, but instead I’m turning to a different topic.  This weekend being the  celebration of America’s Independence, I’m asking the question, “What was the defining moment that caused your independence from American light lagers?”

This isn’t to say that you’re fully independent from the occasional big boy beer, but obviously there was one moment in your life that made you say, “Wow, beer can be so much more.”

Personally, I can remember the day specifically.  It was November 29th, 2002, the day after Thanksgiving.  A few of us had to work the day after Thanksgiving and we weren’t very thankful for that.  But the day was made all the better when we decided to cut out of work a little early and head to Growlers Pub in Creve Coeur.

It was there that I had my first draught Newcastle Brown.  It was an amazing experience, so malty and drinkable.  It was my go to beer for sometime to come after that.  But it really opened my eyes to the fact that beer didn’t just have to be yellow and fizzy.

So what was your moment?  What revealed the wide world of beer to you?

The Mattingly Brewing Company may now be producing full scale productions of beer, but that doesn’t stop them from showing off what’s yet to come. Tonight, Head Brewer Drew Huerter will be offering his Bentonshire Ordinary Bitter - Dry Hopped with Columbus and Simcoe. Be sure to head out tonight and taste some of Drew’s excellent beer.

Here’s a list of what to expect over the next few weeks:

7/1 Bentonshire Ordinary Bitter - Dry Hopped w/ Columbus and Simcoe
7/8 Sunbeam English Summer Ale
7/15 Sunbeam English Summer Ale - Dry Hopped w/ Mt. Hood
7/22 Sunbeam English Summer Ale - Dry Hopped w/ Ahtanums
7/29 Wall Cloud Smoked Steam Beer

About this time last year, I had the task of reporting some unfortunate news about Founders Brewing’s Devil Dancer.  This beer was one of the victims of the great hop shortages of 2008 and it was dearly missed by many of us.

Well, while the prices of hops haven’t dropped, the availability of our favorite bittering agent have dramatically increased.  So, since the hops are back, so is Devil Dancer.

According to BeerAdvocate:

Dry-hopped for twenty-six days straight with a combination of 10 hop varieties.  112 actual IBU; although it calculates to over 200!

While a 112 IBU beer with 13% alcohol may not be everyone’s idea of a Fourth of July thirst-quencher. I can guarantee you this, if you drink it, you’ll be seeing fireworks.  Look for it on store shelves, starting today.

Big props to Beernews.org for pointing this one out.

Bell’s Brewery out of Michigan is set to release a brand new Double IPA called Oracle DIPA.  Now, you may be asking yourself, “Oracle Double Imperial Pale Ale?  That sounds awfully familiar.”  Well, that’s because St. Louis’ own Buffalo Brewing Company came up with a Imperial IPA also named Oracle way back in March of this year.

As Adam from Beernews wonderfully points out, according to The Babble Belt’s Joris Pattyn, Larry Bell seems very quick to protect what he views as the encroachment on his name and his brewery.

So you have to wonder how Larry Bell could miss this glaring mistake?  Surely he wouldn’t want to look hypocritical?

You have to give it to The Stable’s beverage manager Jerad Gardner, he’s not one to rest upon the 2008 Best Beer Selection award from the Riverfront Times, he’s always trying to push the envelope.   So it should be no surprise that his newest creation tugs at the beer geek’s heart.

Starting this Friday, Jerad begins a series of events he calls “Firkin Fridays.” Over a number of different Fridays, Jerad will be bringing in different cask ales from different breweries around the nation. This Friday, July 3rd, beginning at 4PM, you’ll have a chance to purchase pints of Arcadia Dry Hopped Sky High Rye cask ale.

Many of us have been begging for more cask ale in the St. Louis area and Jerad, as always, has been listening.

For those of you that missed the first go arounds of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout a little over a week ago, 33 Wine Shop and Tasting Bar will be serving CBS starting tomorrow, Tuesday June 30th at 3:30PM.

As I stressed in the last post, this is a very rare beer.  So if you had the misforture of misfortune of missing it the first time or you want one last taste, this is probably your last opportunity to enjoy this beer in the comfort of your hometown.

I’ve made a change in how the beer tastings will be listed in the Friday Round-Up, it’s going to be a week’s worth of tastings starting with the Friday that the list is posted. So if you’re a retail shop, bar, restaurant, brewery or distributor and want me to list your tasting, make sure to email me at mike@stlhops.com.

Today, from 4PM to 6:30PM the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton will be having a tasting featuring Grand Teton Lost Continent Double IPA, Sierra Nevada Kellerweiss, Struise Black Albert, and Arcadia Sky High Rye. Additional information can be found at their blog.

Once again, if you’re a retail shop, bar, restaurant, brewery or distributor and want me to list your tasting, make sure to email me at mike@stlhops.com.
