Come Celebrate CBC’s 23rd Anniversary on May 12, 2012 starting at 12pm!

Brewmaster Will and Executive Chef Dave have both given me the
okay to release their menus for the day and I’ve gotta tell you that
I’m pretty stoked!

From Will, we’ve got perennial favorites like the 2010 Red God,
Cerise Cassée, and the 2011 Heather Ale on tap; Resolution #9
and the Biere de Miel will both be making appearances; there’s a
good chance we’ll be seeing the Anders Kissmeyer collaboration beer
Citra Tripel and cult favorite Honey Badger (no seriously, this beer
has a following and it’s never officially been released at CBC); and I hear
that CBC HefeWeizen will also be released in time for the event.
More beers to be announced soon.

But maybe our biggest beer announcement is Ozymandias! This beer
cannot be described as anything but BadAss!  Brewed especially for
our 23rd Anniversary, it’s insanely complex in both ingredient and
production: a very strong dark base beer was brewed and
fermented with SIX different yeast strains(!), then sent to the barrel
cellar to age in red wine and bourbon barrels for six months.
I don’t want to spoil too much of the surprise, but I’ll tell you that
this beer is gonna be BIG!

On the other side of things, Dave’s got some killer food menus that’ll
complement whatever beer you’re drinking. Borrowing some favorites
off the dinner menu, he’s created an inside menu to include
Fried Green Tomatoes, HefeWeizen Steamed Mussels, and
Lamb Kefta.  See the full menu below. Outside, he’ll
be grilling up Beer Brined Grilled Chicken Pitas, Charred Flank Steak Sandwiches,
and Marinated Vegetable Skewers.
Both menus will be going all day long.
