My brewing collaboration with Beer Street Journal,
One MusicFest, Little 5 Fest, Fado BrewHaHa Festival, Atlanta Arts Fest, Square Pub Chile Fest, the fight…Sheesh!
After returning from a serene visit at Barnsley Resort with Toyota and Terrapin Beer Co. in the mix, I returned to a ridiculous itinerary
filled with a plethora of crazy events especially on Saturday in Atlanta! Check
it out:
First thing in the morning, I am homebrewing an imperial
stout unlike any other with my main man and award winner Jon Shari. Stay tuned for its release during the Holidays. Then...
Beer Street
Journal, Jailhouse Brewing and Ale Sharpton Collabo!
I did a brewing
collaboration with gangster beer website BeerStreet Journal and Hampton, GA’s JailhouseBrewing. We are debuting it on Saturday, 1 p.m., at one of my top places to
get my sip on, Midtown’s Cypress StreetPint & Plate (6th and Cypress St.)! We wanted to rep the South to the fullest so this one,
using the Jailhouse Misdemeanor Amber Ale as the base, is going to
include tea! There will also be other versions of it including peach and a shandy
(half lemonade). Of course, art and music is involved, so come through and check
it out!
Here’s a description I wrote below, the flyer with all the info, and the video at the top on how it was done...
Two of the most
dedicated Atlanta-based beer aficionados, Beer
Street Journal founder Reid Ramsay and beer
authority Ale Sharpton, decided to come up with a beer that reflected the
charming personality of the South and its burgeoning beer scene. After a few
sips of their favorite beverage and some brainstorming, they decided to fuse
the essence of iced tea, coriander and other all-natural flavor boosters with
the base of an esteemed beer brewed within Georgia. Jailhouse Brewing’s Misdemeanor amber ale fit the bill, the
Hampton-based brewery opened its doors to Reid, Ale, and a group of other
dedicated enthusiasts from Atlanta to decide between a series of test batches
what would work for public consumption, and voila! The experiment turned out to be a success, a
date for the launch complete with art, music, and delectable grub at Cypress
Pint & Plate has been set (Saturday,
September 14th at 1 p.m.), and the rest is history.
Come be a part of
it and show love for local!
Crazy, right?
