What’s On Tap For Saturday, October 01, 2011 – 12PM – 3PM

The Visitor Center is open every Saturday 12 Noon to 3PM for Tours, Tastings & Sales.

Our tours are free and are held at roughly 12:30, 1:15 and 2:15 and are approximately 30 minutes in duration.  If you intend to take a tour and purchase beer, consider arriving earlier and taking one of the two earlier tours as the bar area can get quite crowded when the last tour is concluded.  No reservations are required however if you plan to come in a larger group, please give us a heads-up several days in advance by clicking here.

Below is a list of the beer we expect to have available this Saturday.  Please be advised that beer is available on a first come, first served basis.

Bottled Beer for 12 oz
mix-n-match cases*

** Please be advised that per PLCB rules, we may only fill our own growlers.  We simply cannot fill a growler with another brewery’s logo.  The good news:  Our growlers are just $3 and have a self-adhesive label so they could possibly be filled elsewhere as well.

*** This inventory is for 1/6 barrel kegs aka ‘sixtels’.  Some of our styles are available in 1/2 Barrel, please ask bartender for availability.  A sixtel is a 23 1/2″ tall by 9 1/2″ diameter cylinder with a 5.16 gallon volume and an American Sankey coupler.  We charge a $30 deposit or welcome an empty Microstar branded empty keg as an exchange.  We cannot receive any other brand of empty keg.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact bill@weyerbacher.com or call 610-559-5561 before Friday at 4pm.

Sierra

Sierra (the NATO / phonetic alphabet letter “S”) is the next up in our series of Brewers’ Select beers.  Sierra is Weyerbacher’s take on a milk stout.

Starting off with a healthy dose of Maris Otter as a base we integrate some roasted barley, plenty of chocolate and munich malts, a touch of flaked oats and some milk sugar (lactose) to balance out this roasty treat.

The dark chocolate and roastiness stemming from the malts along with the slight residual cream-like sweetness left from the milk sugar make for a complementary flavor that’s sure to please the stout lover and even those not yet familiar with this old English  style of ale.

(At this exact moment, Sierra is kegged but not yet bottled…   as we are awaiting official signoff on our label approval.  Look for this beer mid October.  As with all of our Brewers’ Select beers, 12oz bottles are available exclusively at the Weyerbacher Visitors Center and the draft is made available fantastic bars in a limited number of states – Cheers!)
