My Glass Wish For Goose Island Takeover At Sedona Taphouse

I owe most of my glassware to Steal the Glass nights. I find I have a hard time resisting them; even if there’s a chance I will end up with a duplicate of a glass already in my collection.

Goose Island has a few glasses that are pretty cool. I already have their pilsner style glass with their 312 logo but there is another glass I have longed after seeing it a few times, the long stemmed chalice with silver goose logo.

Hopefully, I will receive this glass tonight Tuesday February 5th at Sedona Taphouse during their Goose Island tap takeover and glass giveaway. If not, at least there will be great beer to drown my sorrows. Here is their selection for the night:

Draft
312 Urban Wheat
Naughty Goose
Big John
Nightstalker
Christmas Ale

Bottles
Matilda
Pepe Nero

The takeover starts at 5pm; head over to the Facebook event for more information.

Happy Brew Year 2013 Richmond

Happy New Year Richmond! Welcome to 2013! There is a lot going on to start the new year. Here is your new brew run down for the start of 2013.

Hardywood Sidamo Coffee Stout

Hardywood is releasing their new coffee beer this Saturday January 5th starting at 11am. While speculation abounds that this beer will replace last year’s Mocha Belgique, I will hold out hope for a possible return until I hear confirmation from Hardywood. That said, the use of a coffee with blueberry undertones in a beer is something I can definitely get behind. Somebody get me a blueberry waffle. STAT!

Head over to the Facebook event to learn more about the release.

Legend Hopfest

Legend announced the addition a new year round beer to their portfolio over on their Facebook page:

Happy New Year with a Happy New Beer! Legend is proud to announce our newest year round brew, the former seasonal, the reighning champion of seven years as our Anniversary Ale, this IPA style fighter comes to you out of Richmond, VA by way of west coast influence. The undefeated, undisputed, light heavyweight Legend fan choice champion…weighing in at 6.7% abv. and 57 ibu., a well rounded fighter with experience in yeast, malt, and hops, available soon on draft and in six packs, Legend HOPFEST! Fighters obey my commands at all times. Touch gloves and let’s get it on!

Last but not least, maybe you caught this Washington post article detailing new beers on the way from Devils Backbone’s Outpost brewery in Lexington, VA.
