On both Saturday and Sunday, May 11 & 12, a new keg will be tapped every hour. Follow the Social of Medias to find out if a super rare beer or your favorite brewery will be going on tap.

The 9th Plan

Yesterday, groundbreaking L.A. brewery, Eagle Rock riffed on Ed Wood and tapped a new Imperial Pilsner to celebrate 9 brewing years. Here are some photos from the day though I can’t really convey the smoke machine and the hickory BBQ smell….

No, thank you!
The Plan 9 Imperial Pilsner makes a mysterious entrance.
Eagle Goat Bock made a re-appearance.

The Plan 9 beer was really good. A touch of sweetness. ABV heft to it but not heavy. A great example of their recent magic with pilsner and lager. I am hoping it will be canned soon too.

Divine

The_Divine_01
My favorite and (I think) lucky number is 9. So when I saw the label for the latest anniversary beer from Double Mountain Brewery of Hood River, I knew that I would have to search it out. The Divine is “a bourbon-barrel aged brown ale of ethereal character. The strong brown ale base brew left to meditate in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels for the better part of a year. The celestial slumber brought forth wondrous flavors and aromas of wooden vanilla, toffee, caramel, black licorice, and dark fruit, accompanied by a pleasant bourbon warmth.”
