We’ll be offering imperial pints (that’s 20 oz. for everyone on this side of the pond) of Guinness, Harp & Smithwick’s, and you’ll even get to keep the glass.
Ty will be cooking up some of his famous Cottage Pie and Vedge Pot, and the Irish Toasters will be reeling on the stage. We’ll also have a toasting competition, so bring your best tributes to the island (no notes, iPhones or any other cheats).
The food starts at 5:00, the music starts at 8:00 and the toasting competition is at 10:00.
Music starts at 9:00pm, and cover is just one measly dollar. To go along with Indiana’s premier Americana Grass band, we’ll have some great Indiana beer specials. Bring a canned good for Second Harvest Food Bank, and we’ll reward you with a special pint glass to enjoy your Hoosier brew out of (and you get to take it home!).
UPDATE: The Turducken is sold out! There’s still plenty of great beer and fun to be had, and we will put out some munchies. Plus, several people are carrying in goodies. But the Turducken dinner is completely sold out.
There’s this big football game coming up. We’re not allowed to use its name in any advertising, so you’ll just have to guess what it is.
It’s Sunday, February 7th, and the party begins at 7:00pm.
The biggest game in football deserves the biggest meal we can make, so Ty will be preparing a giant Turducken. Chicken, Duck & Turkey, stuffed with dirty rice, andouille sausage, cornbread, and each other.
We’ll be pairing it with an exclusive beer from Indianapolis’ Sun King Brewery.
Muncie has become the craft beer capital of Indiana, and there’s no better way to celebrate than to raise a glass – except maybe to raise 1,000 glasses.
Over 25 breweries will be represented, as well as area distributors, home brew and brewpub suppliers, and some of Muncie’s finest craft beer bars.
In addition to great beer, there will be great food, live music by Cory Hill and Mikey Mason, a homebrew competition and live airing of the the best podcast ever, The Good Beer Show – all included in your admission.
If a full day of tasting America’s best beers isn’t enough for you, the Fickle Peach will hosting a private VIP Reception, where you can mingle with brewers and beer geeks, taste some exclusive beers not available at the festival, and be the envy of all of your friends. Seating for this is very limited, so buy your tickets today. Visit munciebrewest.com, select the Beer Geek Package.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Muncie Historic Preservation Commission and Muncie Downtown Development.
We are having our golf outing on the 22nd of this month and really are hoping to fill 32 teams.
We know times are tight, and it’s enough that you choose to patronize our bar. If you can participate, though, please do. We will roast a pig the night before for all players and volunteers, have door prizes and activities on the course.
If you just want to help out, we are signing up volunteers now and YOU WILL BE REWARDED for helping…beer, anyone? We tend to put the hurt to the company card that day. Hey, thats what its for, right?
So please consider helping us or playing in this event. If you have already signed up, thank you, and get ready to have some fun on the 22nd.
One last item: If any team can dress uglier than James Murray’s team did last year, they will receive the trophy for worst dressed team. I expect Murray to win, but you never know.
Call 765-282-5211, for more information, or to sign up.
Then on Friday, April 17th, we’ll have a tap party featuring the legendary Kentucky Breakfast Stout.
Many will be tempted to taste all five varieties, and to help them in their quest, we’ll also be selling Galway Race Sandwiches – sliced hot ribeye steak with onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese on a panini roll. Don’t miss it!
This weekend’s Valentine’s Day Beer Dinner was a smashing success.
Thirty-three of our favorite patrons settled in for an evening of delicious food and phenomenal beers.
The meal started off with a salad and a firkin of Bell’s Hopslam – one of only two in the entire state. Being the number one Bell’s beer seller in the state does have its perks.
The Clams Oreganata appetizer was served with Bell’s Hell Hath No Fury Ale, a delicious abbey double (I should know, I had four later that night!).
The biggest hit of the evening, though, was the spinach and wild mushroom lasagna with prosciutto, served with Bell’s flagship beer, Amber Ale.
The Bresilien, from Ghyslain Chocolatier in Union City, was equally delicious and with a pint of Bell’s Porter, it was a great way to finish off the evening.
Our next beer dinner will be in the spring, with a selection of Founders beers. You won’t want to miss it.
