American Craft Beer Week

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Probably should’ve posted this on Sunday, but you can still catch the last two days of American Craft Beer Week at Max’s on Broadway Saturday the 16th, and Sunday the 17th. I stopped by on Tuesday with a couple people from BJCP class, and got to taste some pretty interesting beers. The oak-aged Clipper City Peg Leg Imperial Porter was pretty awesome. And I also checked it out briefly Friday, and got to taste some excellent beers by Stone, Smuttynose, and Lagunitas.

The gist of the event — at Max’s anyway — is that a brewery rep shows up, brings a couple kegs of a beer they want to show off and we — the public — get to taste them at a discounted price. Pretty awesome, actually.
