Jake and his team down in Sugar Land turned it up to 11 for their beer dinner last night.  Their special guest speaker was Erik Ogershok of Real Ale, who really is one of the most passionate people in the Texas Beer scene.  Erik has a back ground in beer that is longer than his flowing locks and despite being a laid back guy, when he speaks, people listen.  Bartender Ben Rabbani shared some culinary expertise to help lay down some dishes that looked as good as they tasted.  If you ever have the opportunity to make it to a Sugar Land Beer Dinner don’t walk.  Run.

FINALLY, they decided to release some of the cellar….. Jake and Asa have been holding back mountains of great beer for a LONG time and it looks like they’ve planned a fun week around Valentine’s Day. So, mark your calendars and come try some exceptional vintage beers. See the line up below which includes Real Ale Sysphus ’07,  Stone ’08 Double Bastard & Sierra’s Ken & Jack’s Big Barleywine which most of you know is a collaboration between Ken Grossman – owner of Sierra & Jack McAuliffe – who started (New Albion Brewery in 1976 – dude was a pioneer of American Craft Beer for certain.

Next week – starting 5/17 is American Craft Beer week. We will feature a daily draft for $4 per pint during happy hour to support the local craft brewers.
