A little bluegrass for your ears, provided by the Acoustic Mining Company

Welcome to day three of the Copper Kettle’s birthday beer bash!

Yesterday, there was a beer-off. Mystery brewers brewed five beers, and the public voted for the winner. Through some deductive reasoning, we were able to figure out the following:

1. The Strawberry Rhubarb Saison was brewed by Paul. I voted for the Strawberry Rhubarb, but we’re not telling him, because it will only go to his head.
2. The Pecan Wood Smoked Brown Ale was brewed by Gordon. My better half voted for this one.
3. The Lemongrass Ginger Wit was authored by K2, but brewed by Gordon.
4. The India Alt Ale (called so because of the extra hops in a regular Altbier) was brewed by Jeremy.
5. The Dark Belgian (a close, close second, IMO) was brewed by K1.

The winner of the brew-off was Kristen (K1, if you will.) Congratulations! A cask of the Dark Belgian was available today (there might still be some if you RIGHT NOW!) Congratulations for everyone, though, because it was definitely a tough decision to decide amongst all of the beers.

Today a Bourbon Barrel Baltic Porter was released. If you know me, you know I like a good Bourbon Barreling. Today’s offering was no exception. As we were enjoying some food from the Eighty Ate food truck, (we love their sliders), the skies started to cloud up. Then it started to rain. The Acoustic Mining Company headed indoors, and the party kept on going.

Tomorrow is the last day of the party – definitely for the Barleywine lover! Everyone who like a good Barleywine will agree that Sundays are the best days for Barleywines. The Biscuit Bus will be there, and there will again be some good music.
