Boulder Beer Co. Anniversary Party benefits Community Food Share

July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Boulder, CO – To celebrate their heritage and help to raise money for Community Food Share of Boulder County, Boulder Beer Company invites one and all to the GOATSHED REVIVAL on Saturday, August 23rd, from 12 – 7pm. The Goatshed Revival will take place at Boulder Beer Company, 2880 Wilderness Place, Boulder, Colorado.

In 1979, two homebrewing CU professors were granted the 43rd brewing license in U.S. history and a brewing revolution began in Colorado. They set up the original brewhouse in a goatshed north of Boulder, so to commemorate their heritage in the goatshed and to celebrate how far the brewery has come, Boulder Beer wants to toast its 29th year of craft brewing with style. And what better way to do so than to spread the love and help out local people in need!

The time has come to release the second vintage of our award winning Cuvee de Castleton.

This beer was a Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winner in the American Sour Ale category in 2007, the inaugural year of the category.

Cuvee de Castleton is a Golden Ale that has been aged in French and American oak barrels with both Brettanomyces (wild yeast) and Muscat Grapes, for over a year.

It is a sour and tart beer with an intensely fruity aroma of both grapes and citrus….not for those of you who don’t like sour beer!

Fred Eckhardt’s 17th Annual Beer & Cheese Tasting

July 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Seating begins at 5 p.m.

Join Fred Eckhardt, the dean of American beer writers and a pioneer in blending beer with cheese, for a unique tasting of 10 microbrews with 10 gourmet cheeses.

“Cheese coats the tongue, blunting wine flavors, and wine doesn’t tend to have flavors that harmonize with cheese… Beer, on the other hand, has carbonations to cleanse the palate and a broad range of flavors that link up with the flavors of the cheese.” - Garrett Oliver
