Bashore BrewHaus St. Patty's Day Video

Thanks Randy for this Hilarious video from our St. Patty's Day Shin Dig!

St. Patty's Wrap Up

This past weekend was our soon to be annual St. Patrick's Day Shin Dig and I must say I think a good time was had by all of those that attended. Beer began flowing at 11 am and didn't stop until close to 11pm in the evening.....and good news, we didn't finish any of the 5 beers on tap. The overall impression of the beers seemed to be solid with the first release of our Russian Imperial Stout (Kremlin Joe's) seeming to get the highest praise for flavor and Peppermint Patty's Mint Stout receiving a lot of praise for the amazing mint aroma that it gave off. Furthermore, it seemed that all beers fit there niche for the day. The Irish Dry Stout seemed to be the perfect canvas for countless Irish Car Bombs, while Wholly Oat and Junak's Brown Beaver Ale seemed to supply a quenchable drink for those looking for something lighter to drink. The highlight of the day (for me at least) was the game of ultimate boooooze pong that took place in the mid afternoon. A brain child of my own spurred on by a mix of Celtic Music, Green Eggs and Dark Beer, this 110 cups (55 per side) abomination provided a lot of laughs and a lot of light heads by the time we were done. All and all a successful first transformation of the BrewHaus into an Irish themed booze hole.

I also wanted to say a special thanks to all of you that contributed to the "Beer Karma". I want to make sure that everyone knows its not a tip jar, but as many of you are probably in the same boat as we are and times are tough and making beer isn't free, so thank you for the support. We also would like to thank those of you that have attended both the New Years Eve Party and now the St. Patty's Day Party, thank you for coming back and making these events special for us. The next big party will be the third of three that we are planning on a yearly basis.....it will be Oktoberfest! This get together will take place on the third Saturday in September every year. Any suggestion anyone has to add to the appeal of this party will be greatly appreciated. Even though Oktoberfest will be the next large party we will have several other events taking place throughout the summer, both at the BrewHaus and on the road. Finally, we would like to thank the select few that made it to the BrewHaus for the first time, we really, really hope that you'll come back again and again because you added to the fun of the day. CHEERS!!!

Here's some pics from the Day!

Ultimate Booooze Pong!!

Bashore BrewHaus Poster Child....well for a while at least ;)

The Theme for this St. Patrick's Day Party should have been Car Bombs and Good Friends!

Michigan Brewer's Guild Winter Beer Fest Recap

Well, another Michigan Winter Beer Festival has come and gone and we had a great time this year. It was great to see everyone that made it out and also great to see those that stopped by after the fest for a beer or two. My favorite beer of the day was Kuhnhenn's Bourban Barrel Barleywine(thanks for hooking up the large pour Derek). Other beers of worthy note were Short's entire line up, the firkin of Night Tripper from New Holland and Big Rock's Maple Road Farmhouse Ale. The set up was much improved this year compared to last with the exception of the bathroom situation....but as I always say "its all about who you know"(Thanks Aren). Already very excited about next years fest and the summer one coming up in July. Here's a few pics from the festival for those that couldn't make....there's always next year ;)!!
