Nancy was the DD. Usually she loves gose and sour beers but they weren't offering those that day. She did have a few sips of the Toasted Lager. I call John "The Beer King" because he is the founder of The Second Friday Beer Club and he has a passion for beer. He is the major reason I started to enjoy IPA's. His" just try it" attitude while shoving it in my face made me realize that there are many different types of hops that flavor the many styles of beer out there. We've actually convinced him to brew with us. Lately he has been drinking vast quantities of tea. He requested that we brew a Chai Ginger with Cascade Candi Syrup that he won at our Low Country Libation's Competition. They donated a case to our charity event.We brewed a porter with the Bacon flavored one last year. That was so good!
You can write them and ask for advice and recipes for their products. They are
good people and very helpful!
One of the most creative festivals I've been to as far as marketing, they present you with a bingo card when you are entering. This helped to keep everybody moving around, held our interest and informed us of the different beers they were marketing. Besides for the beer tasting squares, two of the squares were to donate to a favorite charity which was our local non profit animal shelter,"Pet Helpers." They brought some of their pets for us to love on.
Other squares were Beer Geek Challenge, Hops Challenge, Beer Twister, Beer Pong, Jenga Challenge
and a Mini session where you were able to sample tasty dishes created by Chef Paula DaSilva. We tried the Spicy Shrimp and Grits with Toasted Lager. Nice job Chef!
They also had live bands. Fun event for an in bev product. Tasty beer too.
