| The Brick Store goes hop-crazy during their Blind Flight IPA tournament! |
The Brick Store, SouthBound and Food 101
throw down!
Whaddup!!!
I just got back
from an awesome trip to Baltimore seeing all my people and getting my culinary touring on; I hunted down the best crab cakes in the world (look up #crabcakehunt on Instagram), had a
magnificent brunch at Miss Shirley’s (look here),
and visited my second home—Max’s Taphouse here.
Upon my return home, I was welcomed by some awesome events popping off starting
this Tuesday, followed by the ridiculously dope, five-chef dinner I am helping
host at Food 101. Here are three can’t-miss events you need to strikingly consider
hitting up if you lucky enough to be in Atlanta.
Brick
Store Pub’s Epic Blind Flight IPA Tournament Part 2
Tuesday, November 10, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
125 E Court Square, Decatur, GA 30030
One of the best
beer bars in the world, the Brick Store, is hosting the second round of their "Epic Blind Flight IPATournament" tomorrow. Co-owner and homey Dave described it for ya
here:
“We need YOUR help to determine one the
best IPA's in the land. Here's how it works. We are going "Blind
Flight" style again for this From 5:00 to 7:00. Five Beers each Tuesday
beginning next Tuesday the 3rd, followed by the 10th and then the 17th. The top
2 from each of these weeks will move on to the "Top 6 IPA Showdown" on
Tuesday the 24th.”
Last Tuesday, Round 1 of
the IPA Blind Flight included Bell’s Two Hearted, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Great
Divide Titan, Creature Comforts Tropicália, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute. The Tropicalia
beat Bell's by a sip to be ranked #1, but they both will be poured in the
semi-finals on Tuesday November 24.
This is dope idea for hop heads (like me), right? Cheers to the Brick Store.
