Philadelphia has Philly Beer Week, Denver has Denver Beer Fest, even Charlotte and Raleigh have week-long events celebrating beer.So why doesn’t Asheville throw a week-long event the week leading up to Brewgrass?
Imagine if the week before Brewgrass was a celebration with several tastings, dinners and special events all throughout Asheville. We have decided to do something special each day next week, and we would like to challenge all other beer centric places to do the same. Know this year is not an ideal time for a beer week considering Brewgrass coincides with GABF, but we have a year to plan. Maybe 2011 can be Asheville’s first official beer week.
The events which we have planned at the Monk:
Monday – We will tap a keg of Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse. The first 12 people will get to keep the logo glassware!
Tuesday …- We will tap a keg of BFM l’Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien 2009. This keg is extremely rare, only nine kegs made it to the country!
Wednesday – Victory Braumeister keg tapping & Victory pint night. Buy the beer, keep the glass.
Thursday – We will tap a cask of Arrogant Bastard @ 6PM
Friday – We will tap a keg of Victory Saison du Buff
Saturday – E.Dupont Pommeau Cider 5l gravity cask will be tapped
Sunday – A special bottle release of Bell’s Oracle @ 4 pm. (We only got one case & want to share it with you!)
