The League of Partygoers & Elegant People Preview Tasting

We had such an awesome time hanging out with all of you at the last preview tasting that we're making these a regular thing. This round, we're giving you an exclusive advance taste of the offerings from our upcoming bottle sale.

Your $10 ticket includes a guided tasting featuring a 4oz pour of each of the following:

2016 EMPTY HATS
We aged this Oud Bruin-style ale for over a year in red wine barrels with an array of cultures that added loads of sour, funky character. The result is a beer bursting with dark fruit and sporting a beautiful malt complexity, with a noticeable oak presence and an exceptionally long, lingering finish. Fermented with our house Lomaland yeast culture before a secondary mixed fermentation with Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, this dark brown sour draws its funky complexity from several different strains of Brettanomyces.

2016 NEWS FROM NOWHERE
This tart, complex Flanders Red-style ale spent over a year aging in red wine barrels while mingling with an exceptionally diverse mix of sour/funky cultures. The resulting beer is bursting with bright, acidic red fruit flavor & aroma, with a noticeable oak presence and an exceptionally long, lingering finish. Fermentation began with our house Lomaland yeast culture, but its robust sourness is the result of a secondary mixed fermentation of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. Several different strains of Brettanomyces add a funky, earthy wildness to this exceptional sour.

MONSTERS' PLAYGROUND
This beer is a knee-buckling curveball of tastiness. Made from the second runnings of our hulking, cantankerous imperial stout, Monsters' Playground is a sour stout topped off with citrus zest. Fermented with Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces, it gets good and funky during a lengthy aging on oak. While it's not your typical combination of flavors, the result is roasty, tart, and flagrantly complex. It tastes alarmingly good in your mouth.

The tasting will be at the Lomaland Fermentorium on 4/12, with doors at 5:30PM, presentation at 6PM, and tasting/chilling until 8PM. MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR LEAGUE CREDENTIALS.

The League bottle sale for these beers will begin next Thursday at 10am, and we'll send you an email with details/links/password that morning. See you on the 12th!
