*** BEAR ISLAND BREWING *** The Officers just returned from a trip to Europe - Ireland, UK, Belgium, & Germany - They visited 10 different breweries, spoke to many brewers, & tried about 65 different BEERS. Info from Bear Island: "For those of you who do not know: Octoberfest is a huge BEER celebration in Munich, Germany at the end of September and only those who are Munich brewers are allowed. Octoberfest started way back when as a royal wedding ceremony celebration and has carried on throughout the years. The city of Munich has a population of 1.5 million, BUT during Octoberfest there are 6 million visitors that join the celebration! Someday I will go!" Here's the construction site for Octoberfest:

* 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm: The RAM Tres Amigos @ BIER:THIRTY! A Tequila Soaked Oak-Aged Imperial IPA! We're really, really excited about this. We've been trying iterations of this BEER for a little while now and let us just say, there is nothing like this BEER, it is one of the best in the northwest -- and we don't say that lightly. Tom Charters, in collaboration with the "Two Jakes", Jake Schisel and Jake Talbot of The RAM brewed a huge batch of this extremely popular BEER. Not only will there be releases around town, this BEER will be headed to the Great American Beer Festival to compete in the Pro-Am! An insane amount of hops go into balancing out this 11% ABV imperial IPA, along with some resting time on Casa Noble Reposado Tequila soaked oak ships -- this special keg of Tres Amigos that BIER:THIRTY will be pouring also has an addition of 100% Mexican agave added to it. We're really excited to host the brewers of this fine BEER for what we promise to be a very special tapping. More Info Here
