Charlottesville Area Masters of Real Ale

As some of you might know, I brewed a Pro-Am beer with Starr Hill a month ago, and it will be going on tap at Beer Run on September 9th, which is this Thursday.
 
We all know about the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) so, to make a long email short, Starr Hill asked me to do one of my medal-winning recipes, chose my California Common (otherwise known as a “steam” beer), and I went out to the brewery on August 1st and made 360 gallons of it with them.  (Certainly much larger than the 5 gallon batches that I normally do.)  It will be on draft at Beer Run this Thursday, and I will be making the trip out to Denver on the 16th of this month with the beer to attend the festival and competition.
 
So, come if you can and please feel free to forward on this email on to other people who you think might be interested in attending. I’ll be at Beer Run from 6-8pm that night, and then ducking out to hit the Black Keys concert at the pavilion. 

Come check out “McSteamy” (yes, I named the original homebrewed beer that back in 2009 referencing the style’s nickname and making fun of the show Grey’s Anatomy) and celebrate with a pint if you can.

Meghan and I (and Tres from Blackbox) are planning on dropping by after rehearsal tomorrow night.  We will probably miss you, but hopefully still be able to try McSteamy.
