NOW ON TAP

NOW ON TAP
Wild Horses
Wild Ale
6.0% ABV

It's been a while since I've had a few moments to post.....life has been crazy! But we have a new beer on tap called Wild Horses which is the cousin of Cheeky Monkey. Both are the same base beer and both have been aged on a bed of raspberries, but Wild Horses has also had lactic bacteria added to it to give in a slightly sharp acid punch. The beer is light on the mouth and refreshing, but tart and fruity. Stop in and have a pint before its all gone! Only 3 gallons of this beauty and I've been drinking it like crazy......YUM!!

Downtown Kalamazoo to get an Oktoberfest this fall

KALAMAZOO — The organizers of last year's inaugural Boiling Pot Music Festival have made some drastic changes to this year's event they anticipate will bring larger crowds.

While many details are still being worked out, festival organizer Darren Bain, who also co-owns The Strutt, has a few key elements cemented.

The Boiling Pot Music Festival will have a new theme — Oktoberfest — and the event will be moved to Sept. 29 through Oct. 1. Like last year, it will be held at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in downtown Kalamazoo.

The inaugural event, held during the Fourth of July weekend, had lower attendance than organizers expected, due to the holiday and many college students returning home for the summer.

Bain said this year's theme will be incorporated into all aspects of the event, from art to beer. Organizers expects to have many Michigan breweries and imported beers on hand, several Michigan musicians, collaborative art efforts, major art installations and sustainability components, the event organizers said in a press release.

The event, organized by Bain and his Kalamazoo Coffee Company and The I.D.E.A. Association (Interdisciplinary Development through Education and Art), plan to make more announcements about the entertainment lineup, ticket sales and volunteer opportunities June 15.
