Tap Night or Rare Beer Night begins Thursday – October 8th at 7 PM at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte.

Each week we will release a rare, very limited, hard-to-find beer at 7 pm. For the very first release, Erik has chosen a cask of Foothills Double IPA aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels. These are 23 year old Kentucky Bourbon barrels. This will be an interesting release and you’ll have a chance to get your chalice next Thursday. Beerknurds unite!

logo_highland_breweryOscar Wong, owner of Highland Brewing Company will be on hand Thrusday, February 19th to host a tutored tasting and food pairing.

We will feature six Highland beers including the Imperial Black Mocha Stout. Each beer will be paired with various cheeses and meats. The final beer will be paired with chocolate truffles and the match works incredibly well.

In 2006, Highland began a tradition of releasing an imperial version of one of their brews each September at Asheville’s Brewgrass Festival.   First was Imperial Gaelic followed by Imperial Kashmir IPA.  This year’s offering was Imperial Black Mocha Stout,  rich with coffee and chocolate notes.

Most of you know Highland’s story but to hear it from the man himself should be a good time. Make reservations NOW as space is limited. The tasting will begin at 6:30 PM .

Ticket Price: $25 for Members and $30 for non-members.
