On Wednesday, September 18, join for Mr. B’s Rare Whiskey Tasting from 5:30-7pm. While the whiskey list hasn’t been explicitly listed, there are clear hints that fans of Pappy Van Winkle and Old Fitzgerald will likely not be disappointed.
On Thursday, September 19, Mr. B’s will showcase four collaboration beers they’ve brewed throughout the years in a tasting from 5-7pm which will include:
- Casey Brewing and Blending/Mr. B’s West Slope Connection vol. 2: Oak theory aged on primitivo grapes in freshly emptied pinot noir barrels.
- Fremont Brewing/Mr. B’s This Strange Passion: A blend of three barrel-aged beers. The first, Brew 3000 barley wine. The second, a Belgian-style quad aged in Scotch barrels. The third, the same Belgian-style quad fermented with Brettanomyces and aged in bourbon barrels. This portion of the blend was pasteurized to prevent fermentation in the bottle and the development of funky brett flavors.
- Black Project Spontaneous & Wild Ales/Mr. B’s Viper: A “Méthode Traditionnelle” blended beer dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc. We had the pleasure of spending a day at the brewery to develop this blend with the guidance of the Black Project crew. It was a good day.
- Telluride Brewing Co./Marble Brewery /Mr. B’s Unit Monster: Justin and Scott went all the way down to Marble Brewing for the brew day of this imperial stout. It was then aged in WhistlePig Whiskey Rye barrels for 10 months with vanilla and Colorado cherries. It’s yum.
On Friday, September 20, join for Mr. B’s Wine Tasting which includes Hiyu Atavus II, 2001 Hospices de Beaune Grand Cru Corton, 2016 Frank Cornelisson Munjebel PA Rosso, and 1998 Chateau Musar from 5-7pm
And finally, on Saturday, September 21, the Mr. B’s team will cap things off with a “Super Duper Rare Beer Tasting” from 5-7pm. Beers have not been announced for this tasting, but we’re sure they’ll impress.
Finally, throughout the week, any time a customer spends $20 or more they’ll have the opportunity to enter their name in a rare whiskey raffle for the chance to purchase some truly incredible gems. The lot includes:
