Flying Saucer Fort Worth Beer Festival TODAY at Noon in Sundance Square

posted by Sarah Reiss | October 2nd, 2010 10:56am | filed under beer, Festivals |

When the clock strikes noon, head over to Sundance Square in Fort Worth for The Flying Saucer’s 5th Annual Fall Beer Festival (and music from Pablo & the Hemphill 7). The tasting lasts until well after dark (10 pm) and admission is only $3 (an additional $20 gets you a 10-beer tasting glass that’s yours to keep). Rumor is the lineup of 40 draft brews (in seven tents) includes Alagash Odyssey, Ommegang’s New Belgian Pale Ale, ‘07 Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, Lagunitas Little Sumpin WILD, Deschute’s Inversion IPA, Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Ale, as well as fine beers from Ska, Avery, Breckenridge, Left Hand, Allagash, Urthel, Achouffe, Ayinger & Spaten draft beers.

Everyone hates a drunk, so create a good base layer in your stomach (Captain Keith does not want you to embarrass him in his own parking lot) with beer brats and Bavarian pretzels.

Afterward, come find me in the Avery Demon Tent.

Aspiring Homebrewers, Come to to Central Market on Sunday

posted by Sarah Reiss | October 2nd, 2010 10:21am | filed under beer, Cooking, Events, Festivals, Special Offers |

Love beer and want to try your hand at brewing a batch yourself? It’s not as hard as you might think. Tomorrow’s (Sunday) Homebrewing Workshop from 2-5:30 at Central Market provides an excellent start-up primer while simultaneously giving already-practicing homebrewers an opportunity to ask questions and perfect their craft. As of right now there are 34 seats available; without more registrants the class may not fly, so call or visit Central Market Cooking School’s website to sign up before it’s too late. It’s only $10; what do you have to lose? (The term “workshop” indicates a hands-on component, but it’s unclear from Central Market’s description whether or not we’ll actually be doing any hands-on brewing. Regardless, I’ll be there to catch all the action.)

Stock-up tip: CM is also offering a great Brewtopia discount: 25% off $25 or more on beer and, I believe, beer-related items like homebrewing kits.
