We're throwing a big bash at our place on Monday, and of course there will be brews on tap! What are you going to be serving, beer and food-wise?
I have 6 taps on my keezer, plus I have an extra c02 tank which I'll have outside with picnic taps for soda for the kids, which should hopefully be sufficient. Root beer and lemon-lime-orange soda.
The Lineup:
1. Cherry-Honey apple cider. The ladies love it. But it's almost gone...
2. Smoked Oktoberfest. It's not my favorite, but it just took a Gold a week ago, so I better brag about it!
3. Hoppy American Brown. Like a cross between Jamil's amber and Tasty's Brown. Just took silver. Delicious. Except I only made 3 gallons - may be gone quick.
4. ESB.
5. Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Stout
6. Currently a tossup between a noble-hoppy American Wheat, Boh Pils, or Patersbier, whichever I feel is most ready.
"Special offering": Belgian Golden a Strong with honey, clementine peel, and coriander. 10.5% so it will only be served by me.
On Deck for the Cherry cider will be another fresh batch assuming it's done fermenting today.
On deck for the Brown will be an all-Chinook Extra Pale Ale.
I'm going to keg up the Patersbier, EPA, and cider today, chill and force carb them. With any luck they'll be in prime shape.
As far as food goes - will be braising pork shoulder for pulled pork, and grilling up a ton of meats, with the usual side dishes.
