This Charlottesville, Virginia-based brewery
flexes in ATL during November!
Whaddup!
So Starr Hill
Brewery, who entered the Atlanta beer market not too long ago, has
certainly made their presence known. Representing Charlottesville, Virginia, I
am always looking to see what they have next on deck. Well, after talking with
their reps (Cheers to Kayla and Matt!), they are going hard in the paint throughout
November.
For starters, I am looking forward to Starr’s sixth and final
installment of their 2014 limited releases, the Shakedown Imperial Chocolate Cherry Stout (pictured above), which is
scheduled to pour at their brewery’s revamped Tap Room on Halloween night and
during International Stout Day,
which is Thursday, November 6th, 2014. They described it here:
“Shakedown is a
full-bodied imperial stout with cherries and dark chocolate blended into the
beer during fermentation. Aromas of bittersweet chocolate and fruit delight the
senses. Tartness from the cherries balances the smooth cocoa sweetness. Malty,
chocolate and dark fruit flavors create a rich and complex beer that is meant
to be savored slowly.”
Sounds good, doesn’t it? It will be 8 percent ABV and 45
IBUs. Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie!
In ATL, it will only
be on draft starting next week (dammit) especially during its launch party
at King + Duke on the 6th.
(See below.) Here is a list of events they have popping off throughout
the month here:
- On November 5th, there is a Starr Hill Beer Dinner at the always hip No. 246. It will be 5 courses, 5 brews, at $55 per person. Dinner starts at 6:30 pm and reservations are made through Hop City! (Try 404.350.9998 or email minaholliday@hopcitybeer.com.)
- On November 6th, Starr Hill will host the Launch Party aka Shakedown Street at Buckhead’s posh King + Duke. (It will be appetizers and beer, not a formal sit down event.) Call and RSVP with receptionist at (404) 477-3500.
- On November 21st, it’s The Chapter Room formerly known as The Fred Bar’s 5th Anniversary Party (The rumor has it there will be a Starr Hill/Terrapin Cask-Conditioned Woodford Reserve Barrel-Aged GAVA!)
Stay tuned for more beer news soon.
Holla!
