Pen Druid Spontaneous Vinis Lambic Ale (Thanks, Michael!). A 4 of 4. Very much towards the wine direction of a beer-wine hybrid, but still plenty of tartness and acidity on the palate. There's quite a bit of grape sweetness to this, though the tannins and acid help balance. One of the better spontaneously fermented American beers that I've had.

[sexhaver]

Just wanted to say that your beer opinions are true and correct IPAs are evil and taste of catpiss and pine needles. What are your thoughts on sour ales or lambics?

sour ales in general are very good on average; however, they have the highest variance of any type of beer. the worst part is that every bad kettle sour/lambic tastes exactly the same: like someone poured ketchup and vinegar into a glass of seltzer water.

i was going to go off on a tangent about "why has nobody released a beer named Lambic Pentameter" but i googled it and it turns out someone has. so good on whoever beat me to that idea

[bengesko]

Got all the stuff for my Winter Solstice dinner

Venison medallions

Fresh tarragon

mushrooms

asparagus

homemade minced garlic

balsamic glaze/reduction

bottle of raspberry Lambic

Gonna make a marinade of tarragon, garlic, salt/pepper, honey, and balsamic, with a touch of soy sauce and a splash of ginger ale.

The asparagus will be roasted with butter, mushrooms, tarragon, garlic, salt/pepper, and balsamic glaze.

I hope Odin appreciates it.

(Will be followed up with my mugwort/juniper/mint tea, infused with a generous hit of my RSO tincture.)

Supporting regional ingredient producers, Alesong Brewing & Blending release five new beers this May.

Press Release

Eugene’s Alesong Brewing & Blending is releasing five new barrel-aged blends on May 5th, kicking off the spring with their second major release of the new year. This release features new versions of some Alesong favorites and a few brand-new beers:  

Mocha Rhino Suit: Mocha Rhino Suit takes our flagship, bourbon-barrel-aged imperial milk stout and gives it a heavy dose of Colombian coffee and cocoa nibs from the local artisans at Coffee Plant Roasters and Chocolate Alchemy, taking an already decadent and chocolatey beer to new heights of deliciousness. 

Valley Preserves: An ode to the bounty of Willamette Valley harvest, Valley Preserves is a refreshing and jammy ale aged on biodynamically grown blueberries from our neighbors at King Estate and Oregon cherries from Hood River. Luscious fruit character explodes from this vibrant magenta-hued beer! 

Stony Point Saison: A rustic, unfiltered farmhouse ale brewed almost entirely with Oregon-grown ingredients: malts from Goschie Farms, grains from Camas Country Mill, hops from Crosby Hops, and honey from our neighbors at Queen's Bounty. Join us as we continue our quest to capture terroir through the lens of beer. 

Beergarden Bramble: Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Beergarden to celebrate Eugene Beer Week, this beer was inspired by a refreshing and spritzy blackberry bramble cocktail and is a blend of sour ales fermented on Oregon-grown blackberries and aged in Old Tom gin barrels from Oregon’s Ransom Spirits.  

Double Barrel Maestro (Club Exclusive): Although Maestro already showcases wonderful barrel character from its year in Heaven Hill barrels, we thought we’d really up the ante with a second round of aging in 10-year Henry Mckenna barrels. What we’re left with is a robust expression of bourbon and barrel character: toffee, vanilla, charcoal, and a mild alcohol warmth to remind you of the scale of this massive barleywine. 

Alesong will host a release party for Blender’s Circle members at their country brewery on the weekend of May 5-7 and the beers will be available for all at Alesong’s downtown tasting room that same weekend. Mocha Rhino Suit and Valley Preserves will also be available at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest. For more information on Blender’s Circle membership, visit www.alesongbrewing.com/join. More information on all of the new beers can be found at www.alesongbrewing.com/beers. 

ABOUT ALESONG BREWING AND BLENDING: Alesong Brewing and Blending is a small artisan brewery based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country with a second tasting room in downtown Eugene. The all-barrel-aged brewery crafts unique and small-batch beers, brewing both wild and non-wild styles that span the flavor spectrum. Once the beer in barrels has matured, the team samples and selects each barrel individually to blend. Paying homage to old-world Lambic blenders and artisan winemakers, Alesong believes that the final, balanced blend of a barrel-aged beer is much more complex and satisfying than the sum of its parts or each individual barrel by itself. www.alesongbrewing.com.

Day 21 of my beer advent calendars started with Perlenzauber (which was in the 2019 & 2020 calendar but not last years so welcome back) from Privatbrauerei H. Egerer out of Grossköllnbach, Germany. A solid pale ale I’m happy to have back in the mix. Next was Advent Beers Cranberry Wheat Ale. This was the beer I was looking forward to trying the most when I saw the beer list on the box. The beer I miss the most this time of year is Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic, but sadly this is not that. While not the worst Cranberry beer I’ve had, it was just good, not great.

The harvest season brings an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are celebrated at local food festivals and markets throughout the country. Beer lovers will also rejoice in the arrival of the annual Belgian Beer Weekend in Brussels, where they can sample a wide variety of local brews and learn about the country's rich brewing tradition.

Winter in Belgium is a magical time, with snow-covered landscapes, festive markets, and cozy cafes offering warm drinks and hearty meals.

Beer enthusiasts will be in heaven in Belgium, with over 1,500 different beers to choose from, including famous Trappist ales, fruity lambics, and strong abbey beers. And no visit to Belgium would be complete without trying a traditional Belgian waffle, topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or decadent chocolate sauce.

Defining the brand:

brand background:

Belgium&Blues bar is located in Southampton, where they sell Belgian and craft beer and brasserie alongside artisan wines and spirits, beer cocktails and food. throughout the week, there are live blues performances and vinyl djs at the weekend.

Blegium&Blues are looking to release their own series of Belgian beers as this summer they are attending beer festivals like Craft Beer South and New Forest beer festival and want to draw more people in to their blues bar in Southampton as well as their new location in Bournemouth. They are also going to be hosting pop-up day blues festivals along the south coast this summer to boost the sales of their new series of beers- each of which will be inspired by a different category of blues music.

brand logo:

main goals:

to launch and promote the sale of their new series of beers

to create an experience from drinking Belgian beers

to spread the love about the uniqueness of Belgian beers

brand personality:

rustic and quirky

self confident

fun and inclusive

brand narrative:

Belgium&Blues was founded on the love for Belgian beer but from the hearts of 3 friends who wanted to get more out of a beer bar. So Belgium&Blues comes from a place close to the heart and has been nurtured into embracing anyone who wants to enjoy beer and music

This means it would make sense for the bar to partner with local breweries as a celebration of local talent, like they do with live music and comedy nights

By Belgium&Blues having their own series of beers, they will be able to craft their own beer experience for customers to experience which will be tailored around their brand core values and support the music they play to enhance their experience. This will be a unique selling point and allow them to stand out against other brands.

touch points:

range of 4 beers with different flavours and packaging

advertising assets: posters/social media posts

user flow:

discovery of the brand through advertisement assets on social media and billboards

research: find out more information on their social media and website

purchase: attending the beer festivals/ pop-ups/ bar and buying the product

consumption: experience the loving craft of the Belgian beer in relation to different genres of blues music

products:

Urban blues and Tarot D'Or:

blonde ale in a 25cl bottle and 8% alcohol

high fermentation, lambic and miture of exotic fruits flavour and aroma (mango, lime, honey melon) with a fruity aroma and characterful after taste

this mimics the urban blues because there is typically lots of instruments with a complex harmony (represented by the range of fruits and characterful after taste)

Delta Blues and Rosee:

25cl bottle

amber in colour with a full and creamy head. Flavour somes from a unique mixture of fruits and the addition of different spices to match the fruity aroma. advised to be served at 3 degrees

this matches delta blues well because they would sing about failed relationships and romance which is mimicked in the sophisticated flavours and spices in this beer.

Rhythm and Blues and pecheresse:

25cl bottle

blonde in colour and full and creamy head, which has a period of maturity where the peach flavour is added later then left to mature for months to allow the flavour to develop

this fits rhythm and blues well because the audience for this category developed and matured as the style did and ended up having a more mature aged audience which is mimicked in how the beer is brewed and the minimalistic and sophisticated peach flavour

Country blues and Rouge:

33cl bottle

dark red/brown colour with a redish head. strong aroma of cherries and light sour, dry and light bitter with undertones of barley, malt and wheat

this suits country blues well because it is the original style of blues and this is a more typical style of Belgian Beer which suits the fact they would sing day-to-day music, which is more classic, like the flavour of beer.

target audience:

People who already drink beer and have a love for it

People who want to know and experience beers better

30-60 year olds male and female

Lambic, the sheepish ale . . .

[thedaily-beer]

Russian River Beatification (Bottled 2020) (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. A really excellent wild ale -- very balanced and complex, yet not too tart or puckering. There's quite a bit of oak behind the expected funk which is relatively clean for the style. There's still a decent amount of acid to this, so having more than one would be a challenge, but I honestly prefer this to many of the other Russian River sours with fruit, which are also excellent.

Mario Venuti, dopo il grande successo della tournée estiva festeggia il doppio traguardo dei 60 anni e dei 40 anni di carriera con il tour nei teatri e nei club italiani

Mario Venuti, dopo il grande successo della tournée estiva festeggia il doppio traguardo dei 60 anni e dei 40 anni di carriera con il tour nei teatri e nei club italiani «Non vado matto per i compleanni e gli anniversari ma stavolta non posso sottrarmi a due ricorrenze concomitanti: i miei 60 anni e 40 di carriera – afferma Mario Venuti – Li festeggerò insieme a voi con un tour nei teatri e nei club. Con il contributo di musicisti di grande versatilità rileggerò alcuni brani del mio repertorio (e non solo) puntando al nocciolo emozionale delle canzoni. Sarà un concerto più vicino al jazz che al pop rock, e ovviamente non mancherà una spruzzata di Brasile. It has to be a very cool night». Accompagneranno Mario Venuti i musicisti Pierpaolo Latina al pianoforte, Giuseppe Tringali alla batteria e Vincenzo Virgillito al contrabbasso. Le note calde e coinvolgenti del jazz si fonderanno con la voce unica dell'artista, creando un'atmosfera intima e allo stesso tempo travolgente. Con la sua versatilità, Venuti proporrà concerti caratterizzati dalle calde sonorità jazz e con uno sguardo al suo amato Brasile e interpreterà i suoi brani più celebri, oltre a tante canzoni italiane, facendo rivivere emozioni e ricordi legati a brani intramontabili. Queste le date di 60 + 40 100% MARIO VENUTI (calendario in aggiornamento): Domenica 17 dicembre 2023, ore 19.00 – Teatro Trifiletti, Milazzo (Messina) - Ticket: al seguente link Venerdì 22 Dicembre 2023, ore 21.00 – Teatro Comunale, Eschilo Gela (Caltanissetta) SOLD OUT - Ticket: Exit Music Sabato 23 Dicembre 2023, ore 21.00 – Teatro Pirandello, Agrigento - Ticket: al seguente link Mercoledì 27 dicembre 2023, ore 22.00 – Locri on Ice, Festival "Ai Confini del Sud", Locri (Reggio Calabria) - (ingresso gratuito) Sabato 6 gennaio 2024, ore 19.00 – Piazza della Resistenza, Praia A Mare (Cosenza) - (concerto Full Band, ingresso gratuito) Giovedì 18 gennaio 2024, ore 21.30 – Biella Jazz Club, Biella - Per info e biglietti: info@biellajazzclub.it Venerdì 19 gennaio 2024, ore 21.00 – Blue note Milano - Ticket: al seguente link Sabato 20 gennaio 2024, ore 21.00 – Diavolo Rosso, Asti - Per info: diavolorosso.staff@gmail.com Domenica 21 e lunedì 22 gennaio 2024, ore 21.00 – Lambic, Torino - Ticket: al seguente link Sabato 9 marzo 2024, doppio set: ore 19.00, ore 21.30 – Teatro Santa Cecilia, Palermo - Ticket: al seguente link Sabato 23 marzo 2024, ore 21.00 – Teatro Fusco, Taranto - Ticket: al seguente link Oltre al tour, da martedì 19 dicembre in radio e disponibile in digitale "PARADISO", il nuovo brano di Mario Venuti (etichetta Microclima, distribuzione Artist First). Online dallo stesso sul canale YouTube dell'artista il video del singolo firmato da Lino Costa. Musica: Tony Canto – Mario Venuti. Testo: Mario Venuti – Kaballà. Produzione artistica e arrangiamento: Tony Canto. Nel brano, dalle sonorità dolci e avvolgenti che richiamano l'atmosfera natalizia, il cantautore si chiede a cosa serva rimandare la felicità e suggerisce di non aspettare il Paradiso per realizzarla. «Vale la pena vivere il nostro presente e il nostro mondo, per quanto difficile e pieno di contraddizioni, senza bisogno di sperare in un fantomatico regno dei cieli – spiega Mario Venuti – Il paradiso può attendere, recita il titolo di un vecchio film. Cerchiamo di rendere migliore e ricca di senso la permanenza sul nostro caro, vecchio pianeta terra». MARIO VENUTI, cantautore e chitarrista catanese, inizia la sua carriera negli anni '80 con la band "Denovo". Dopo otto anni, intraprende la carriera da solista e nel 1994 pubblica il suo primo disco da solista "Un po' di febbre" e nel 1996 il secondo album "Microclima". Nel 1997 partecipa a Sanremo Giovani con il brano "Il più bravo del reame", preludio del disco "Mai come ieri" che ottiene un grande successo di pubblico e critica. A gennaio del 2003 pubblica l'album "Grandimprese", anticipato dal singolo "Veramente". Nel 2004 con il brano "Crudele", Mario Venuti, riceve a Sanremo il Premio della Critica e il Premio Radio e Tv. Nel 2005 esce il disco "Magneti", mentre nella cinquantaseiesima edizione del Festival di Sanremo porta, insieme agli Arancia Sonora, il brano "Un altro posto nel mondo". Segue una tournée di un anno che sfocia nella pubblicazione dell'antologia "L'officina del fantastico" che ripercorre quattordici anni di successi del cantautore catanese e che viene presentato al Festival di Sanremo del 2008 con l'inedito "A ferro e fuoco". Nell'ottobre 2009 pubblica l'album di inediti "Recidivo". Nel 2011 Mario si esibisce in concerti acustici, senza accompagnatori sul palco, in tutta Italia. Nel 2012, anticipato in radio dal singolo "Quello che ci manca", pubblica il suo settimo album da solista, "L'ultimo romantico" e nel 2014 esce con il suo ottavo disco da solista "Il tramonto dell'occidente", un concept-album scritto a sei mani, con Kaballà e Francesco Bianconi. Nel 2016 decide di rivisitare con gli Urban Fabula in chiave Jazz i classici della canzone italiana e internazionale e canzoni del proprio repertorio, dando vita al progetto Mario Meets Jazz. Quest'anno in primavera ha pubblicato il suo nuovo album "Motore di vita", prodotto artisticamente da Mario Venuti insieme a Seba. Il disco vanta anche la collaborazione artistica di Kaballà e la presenza del batterista jazz e arrangiatore ritmico Luca Scorziello. Tutto il disco emana un umore disteso e positivo e suona come un ripetuto GRAZIE per gli immensi doni che la vita può donarci. Dopo "Motore di vita" (2017) è la volta del decimo album "Soyuz 10" dal quale vengono estratti tre singoli: "Il pubblico sei tu", "Ciao cuore", e "Silenzio al silenzio", attualmente in rotazione radiofonica. A marzo del 2020 sul canale YT ufficiale viene pubblicata la serie "Casacasa Live Session": una raccolta di sette live in cui l'artista ha eseguito alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi direttamente dal salotto di casa sua. Nel mese di maggio i brani sono stati pubblicati su tutte le piattaforme digitali. Il 17 settembre 2021 è uscito "TROPITALIA", progetto nel quale Mario Venuti si diverte a giocare, diventando puro interprete, rileggendo alcuni brani popolari della canzone italiana in chiave tropicalista. Il 19 maggio 2023 è uscito "Napoli-Bahia", il brano feat. Lucariello, Fabiana Martone e Neney Santos (etichetta Microclima, distribuzione Artist First). Il 1° luglio ha vinto il Premio Carosone 2023 "per il brano 'Napoli – Bahia', per il ponte tra culture per la sua carriera di chansonnier mediterraneo aperto alle contaminazioni, dai Denovo ad oggi". L'8 settembre è uscito il brano "Segui i tuoi demoni" (etichetta Microclima, distribuzione Artist First). Il 5 novembre, in occasione della decima edizione del Premio Pierangelo Bertoli, evento dedicato al cantautore e realizzato con la direzione artistica di Alberto Bertoli e Riccardo Benini, ha ricevuto il Premio A Muso Duro 2023 "per aver trattato nelle sue canzoni il tema dell'anticonformismo e dell'indipendenza intellettuale. Venuti si diverte a giocare, rileggere e creare brani in chiave tropicalista creando ponti culturali tra diversi mondi musicali".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Brouwer's Cafe hosts Stour Fest 2024 during Seattle Beer Week featuring Tilquin's Fruit Extravaganza.

https://bit.ly/3V2lRJZ image courtesy Brouwer’s Cafe Now in its 15th year, Seattle Beer Week returns May 17th and runs through May 24th. Hosted by various businesses up and down I-5 (or interstate to ya'll), there is something every day for everyone. As one of those businesses which has supported Seattle Beer Week since its inception, Brouwer's Cafe invites you to attend one of their events. Re-introducing Stour Fest. What's Stour Fest? It's a union of two one day events, hosted in the many years under the names of Sour Fest and Back in Black Stout Fest. Originally designed to focus on so-called sour ales and lagers, Sour Fest was a one-day event that featured domestic and international beers, ranging from the near-absent-tasting sour to the mouth watering. Each unique and each glass followed by an evening reminder that too much sour can affect the stomach. On the other side, a showcase of stouts. From a vast library of variations, Stout fest included barrel-aged and non-barrel aged stouts. From imperials to the traditional stouts, there's something from everyone. Now in its second year, Stour Fest is back, and they have a week of fun planned. Starting on Saturday, May 18th, Brouwer's Cafe kicks Stour Fest off by showcasing the beers of Gueuzerie Tilquin.
