Our Brewer's Select tapping parties are happening this week, as all over the country we celebrate pouring a myriad of concoctions as unique as they are delicious. And while that sounds self aggrandizing we will also be donating thousands of dollars to a plethora of wonderfully worthy causes.
Who would have thought that the regulars at my brewery in Broomfield would enjoy drinking my Imperial Pilsner? I did...that's who. It is a monster of a beer, especially by our standards, which are relatively mild compared to what is going on in the Craft Brewing cosmos. With fifty percent more malt and hops than our regular award winning Czech Pils it is an incredibly complex and satiating blend of flavors. And with an alcohol content of 8% one guest while, waiting for his growler to be filled, called it "home beer."
The Tapping Party was a huge success not only because we brought our new big baby into the world, but more so because we raised nearly $900 for the local chapter of the Autism Society. This means everything to me because my actual big baby boy, who is now 15 and about my size, has autism, and it was Autism Awareness Week. Thus, while everyone attending had a great time socializing, they also helped aid those who have such a difficult time with that very activity of human interaction.
Meanwhile, similar scenarios played out at our brewery restaurants from Honolulu to Washington, DC where we are poured some great new beer for great causes. I don't know that it will change the world, but it sure made it a nicer place to be in for one night.
