The Black Swan

This 8.5% imperial stout will pirouette into your heart while assaulting your perception of reality. Don't Be Intimidated! The darkest organic malts dance gracefully with organic rye and organic hops to create a seductive elixir, luring you into the tangled underworld of stout heaven. Aromas of chocolate and toffee balance the strong alcohol presence. The Black Swan is a tempting seductress.
8.5% ABV and 34 IBU
Releasing St. Patricks day Thursday March 17th

Tied House Brewing, FireHouse Brewing, and Better Beer Blog are proud to present our 2nd annual Meet the Brewers festival as part of San Francisco Beer Week. (Waiting for the applause to finish...)

Strong Women Brew Strong Beer!

SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAIN BREWING HOSTS ALL WOMEN BREW DAY DURING SAN FRANCISCO BEER WEEK

SANTA CRUZ, CA , 2011- STRONG WOMEN BREW STRONG BEER. For the second year in a row, the women of Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing will be hosting an all women brew day on Saturday, February 20, 2011 at the brewery. Beginning at 8am, they will be crushing grain, mashing and sparging, measuring hops and herbs and brewing up a batch of an adapted Belgian style Wit. Nicole Beatie will be doing an Homebrewing demonstration in front of the brewery. They will also offer beer tasting, cheese pairing and answer questions about careers in commercial brewing, brewing practices and homebrewing. Last year they were joined by ten other women but are expecting more this year.

“Brewing can be a little intimidating for women sometimes,” Emily Thomas offers. “We want to demystify it and encourage women to feel comfortable with brewing as a craft. After all, at one point in history beer was predominantly crafted by women.”

The All Women Brew Day is one of many events that will take place during San Francisco Beer Week. There is no charge to attend. The brew day begins at 8am and ends at 5pm but women are encouraged to join for any part of the day. Women should plan to wear work clothes, closed toe shoes, and dress warmly. The Belgian style Wit will be served at the brewery for several weeks following the event.
