Now that the first annual National Capital Craft Beer Week and Festival is complete, its time to get back on course for the Ottawa Beer TAP Society beer and food pairing dinners. As much as Colin is chomping at the bit to get creative with the upcoming dinner, I've been desperate to find the time to brew again!
For our upcoming event, I've decided to focus my brewing on October's celebrations, including Thankgiving, Halloween, and Oktoberfest (actually, this takes place in late September), and to use this event as an opportunity to showcase the fresh harvest of hops that become available in late August.
Although the beer menu may change slightly, my brewing plans include:
-Cranberry wheat (including granny smith apple and navel orange)
- Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Porter
- Guinnish (my version of the famous Irish stout, including the traditional 3% soured wort to add the signature tanginess that we've come to expect from this brew)
- Sage Gruit (an ale made with sage and licorice root instead of hops)
- Harvest Ale (using fresh whole leaf hops from my backyard, local farms, and wild Meech lake hops)
- a surprise brew
Of course, my signature beer liqueur will be served as an aperitif and a beer-related beverage will be served as a celebratory welcome.
Lookin forward to seeing you all in October!
Cheers!
