Dear SeeKers of BeeRs with Resolution:
OMG...it's 2009. JAN in Anchorage. And while we are staring out at wHiTe, we are focusing on gReeN. When U can, enjoy your beer from re-usuable glass growlers: half-gallon jugs designed to transport your favorite beer to your favorite destination. GROWLER = 4 PINTS. A growler provides that fabulous middle ground between bottles [yeah, some beers are just too BiG to be served up in 64-oz increments] and kegs [requires a little investment]. Whenever possible, use growlers for your main beer consumption. And with all of this incredible beer available in Anchor-town, you can seek out + enjoy your faves aND save the pLaneT. To sweeten the deal, we're offering a FREE GROWLER. Print the coupon then come in for a fill. If U are already a growler guzzler--one of best folks on earth--please pass this on to a friend or co-worker.
We've got a crazy agenda for JAN so strap on yer beer belly belt and hang oN:
To celebrate 2008 -- although we've only released 7 of the 9 Planet Beers, Humpy's is hosting our Planet Beer series dinner on WED, 01/14. We may even add Zeus -- the draft version of Jupiter -- to make 8 beers. Details are soon forthcoming. BuT inK this date into yer brand new, awaiting-activity calendars. Humpy's Chef TiM will RoCK iT. You know THaT. And MSBC beers will RoCKeT. OrBiT[s] will ensue. CaB rYdes HoMe are required. Call Humpy's at 276-BEER.
This year's Great Alaska Beer & Barley Wine Fest will be held at the Egan Center on FRI 1/16 and SAT 1/17. For tickets, go to auroraproductions.net. Advance tickets are suggested as these sessions fill up quickly...and who wants to stand outside in sub-zero temps looking in the glass at the beery fest-goers?
Three GABBF Tasting Sessions:
FRI 5 PM - 10 PM
SAT 2 PM - 5 PM This is the Connoisseurs Session [with special beers]
SAT 6 PM - 10 PM
This the second year for the Connoisseurs Session. Last year's inaugural session was very successful. Breweries are asked to pour a special beer that is not available in the other sessions...sO if you want to talk with brewers/brewery staff in a less chaotic session and enjoy some special beers, this is the GeeK session for you/mE. Buy your tickets early!
By the end of JAN, you'll need an anTidote for hiberaTion. We'll release the first of our 2009 Crew Brew series: Jeremiah's Brewtality, an Imperial Espresso Black Beer. Guaranteed to keep you uP for the rest of winter. Add biscoti as needed.
Santa didn't get/do your Wish List? CaLL or coMe in and stuff yer own bag.

These Go BiG tees are my new fave--the Men's style is made with recycled cotton and the Women's style is in a "burnout" tee so it's kinda not all there.
