Inaugural Boulder SourFest

We’ve searched high and low for the best, rarest and tastiest sour ales from across the country, and all will be on display for your enjoyment on the last Saturday in February at the Inaugural Boulder SourFest.  Our still-growing list of brews features 35 different sour, wild and brett beers from breweries coast-to-coast.   A preliminary listing of participating breweries will be posted on our brewery website in early 2010.   

All attendees will receive 20, 2oz. sample pours, a complimentary .4 liter full-size tasting snifter to commemorate the occasion and the opportunity to mingle with the brewers and creators of many of the beers on display.  This festival promises to be one of the best opportunities to taste sour ales anywhere in the Rockies!

Fellow Hoppers,

Tomorrow (Saturday, December 5), your club will be hosting its first ever
competition, Biere de Rock. The dedicated team of organizers, led by Walt,
have worked tirelessly over the past few months to make sure this competition
is an amazing success.

In case you hadn’t heard, we received *over 80 entries* – that’s awesome for
a first-time competition that only features three BJCP categories.

After judging, there will be an awards ceremony, beginning around 11:30 am.
