Triple The Barrel Aged Goodness From Three Brothers at Mekong Thursday Night

I try to keep from telling you that you absolutely have to try a particular beer or go to a certain event.  I guess rules were meant to be broken because personally I really think you deserve to try these barrel aged beers from Three Brothers tomorrow night at Mekong.

  • Rum Barrel Dubbel — I snagged a growler from Whole Foods right before it won a 2013 GABF medal
  • Resolute — aged in bourbon barrels for 9 months! I was hooked after only a sip.
  • Barrel Aged Vanilla Elementary — aged in barrels that once held Resolute; less bourbon flavor but vanilla and oak highlights shine through.

I would expect these to be tapped by 5PM but who knows what tricks An has planned.  Go and try these irresistibly delicious beers from one of the rising stars of Virginia beer.

I have only one question for Three Brothers. What is “Senantona?”

Tale of Two Legend Barleywines Tonight at Capital Ale House

Remember when Legend Brewing made a barleywine for Capital Ale House’s 10th Anniversary? I remember it being quite tasty.

Well, it’s back tonight at Capital Ale House Downtown starting at 4pm:

A Tale of Two Barleywines, the Legend continues. Featuring on draft the Legend Barleywine. This beer is generously hopped to balance the huge malty sweetness. We also “Dry Hopped” this one, giving it a nice spiced-floral aroma. Expect a lingering finish with plenty of warming alcohol.15% Alc. By Vol. By its side, we will be serving their 2012 Capital Ale House Anniversary Barleywine from a bottle. This beer was delicious and well balanced the first time around. Aged for a year, this beer will become a lot different as the malt-hop balance changes dramatically. These two big, complex, flavorful beers are perfectly suited for the winter season. You can also try one here and take the other home. Both come with a glass for you to take home! Glassware is very limited so don’t miss out.
