04/04/08 Friday Round-Up
April 4, 2008 12:19 pm Beer NewsLooks like the rain is finally letting up to give us a gorgeous Spring weekend. I don’t know about you, but I have a jammed packed beer-filled weekend, tonight we’ll be getting together with some friends, drinking some beer and playing some Rock Band. Tomorrow, I’ll be brewing a Two Hearted Clone (currently Irene’s favorite beer) and then we’ll be having dinner at Erato on Main with my family and friends. Then if I’m lucky, I’ll take a trip up the Great River Road and visit Rotten Apple. That’s a hell of a weekend, how about you?

O’Fallon is brewing a rye beer? Fantastic! Hopefully they end up bottling it.

Well, it is specifically for Brewers Heritage, but maybe we’ll get lucky and we’ll see a few bottles floating around.

Hey Guys,
Augie’s American Rye Pale Ale is being brewed exclusively for the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival, as he won “Best In Show” at the St. Louis Brews Happy Holidays Homebrew Competition. Each year, a different local brewery will brew a batch of beer with said competition’s winner to be featured exclusively at the festival in May. Keeping in spirit with this, we will not be selling a bottled version of this. So, for everyone interested in trying Augie’s/ O’Fallon’s collaboration, you’ll need to trek to Forest Park sometime between May 8th and 10th!
Looks like the guys had a great time brewing it the other day; and, I for one, can’t wait to try the finished product!
