Stolen from KC Beer Blog, posting here because I am attending on Thursday:

Myself and Nate from KC Brew Review will be on hand for this tasting to chat and share some of our favorite higher ABV beers.

Thursday, January 12th, 5:30 - 7:30 PM - Schlafly Vertical Night


Western Missouri and Kansas Schlafly representative and Certified Cicerone Gary Briggs will be on hand as they pour:

- Schlafly Reserve Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout ’08 and ’11
- Schlafly Reserve Oak Aged Barleywine ’08, ’09, ’10 and ’11.

Limited 4 year vertical packs of both of these beers and speciality glassware will also be available for purchase.

This tasting will explore strong ales from regions and breweries that often get overlooked.

And also, kudos to Brad @ Royal. Royal has always done events; it’s nice to see the organization, quality and communication really picking up.

Cheers,

Thanks Tim, slowly but surely things are coming together.

If the weather is willing I hope to see you tomorrow Eric!
