Barrels, Bourbons and Bugs at Iron Hill in Maple Shade 2/26

Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:34 am

Is anyone going? I and my wife are looking for a ride between Philadelphia and Maple Shade. Please PM me if you're up for that, or if you want to go in on a taxi, or something of that sort.

THE WILD BEERS

Heywood – Strong Belgian Golden Ale fermented in oak with 100% Brett L. Tart, dry, sour, phenolic and funky. 7.5% abv

Eddy - Strong Belgian Golden Ale fermented with the Duvel strain in stainless, then spiked with Brett L and aged in oak. Dry, fruity and phenolic with a refreshing tartness. 7.5% abv

Brett Quad – Strong Belgian Dark Ale fermented in stainless then spiked with Brett L and aged in oak. Rich, malty and complex with just a hint of fruitiness and mild phenols. 10.0 % abv

Brett Pete’s Celebration – Strong Belgian Dark Ale fermented in stainless, then spiked with Brett L and aged in oak. Malt complexity mingles with a touch of spiciness and pie cherry aroma from the Brett and a warming alcohol character. 11.0% abv

Wine Barrel Wee Heavy – Strong Scotch Ale fermented in stainless then aged in a freshly emptied Pinot Noir barrel spiked with Brett L. Rich malt character and a touch of roast complimented by a subtle but distinct red wine character and spicy phenolic notes. 8.8% abv

F.red Flemish Red Ale – Malty reddish-brown ale fermented in stainless with the Roselare blend then aged in used Pinot Noir barrels for 9 months. Malt sweetness and toastiness followed by an assertive but pleasant sourness. 5.3% abv

THE BOURBON BEERS

Porter – Our award-winning Pig Iron Porter aged in bourbon barrels with whole vanilla beans. Roasty malt and pronounced bourbon flavors with a nice vanilla aroma, served on nitrogen. 6.0% abv

Eisenhugel – Imperial Weizenbock aged in bourbon barrels. Rich and complex due to a huge percentage of specialty malts and Bavarian ale yeast with the added character of wood and bourbon. 11.0% abv

Wee Heavy – Our Strong Scotch Ale, aged in Four Roses bourbon barrels. A distinct sweet malt character entwines with bourbon and vanilla flavors. 9.0% abv

Imperial Pumpkin Ale – Big notes of bourbon and vanilla layered with pumpkin pie spices backed by a firm caramel malt body. 10.0% abv

Winter Warmer – Strong dark ale finished with winter spices and aged in a bourbon barrel. Christmas in February. 8.0% abv

Pete’s Celebration – As if this beer weren’t already rich enough… Big, chewy Belgian Strong Ale aged in used Bourbon barrels. 10.3% abv

They’ll be offering two separate samplers of all of the wild beers and all of the bourbon beers.

Each will be $12.00 for 4 oz of each of the 6 beers.

I love Iron Hill. Only $12 for ~24 oz of sours and big beers? Did I translate that correctly?

Yeah, the note about prices at the end is a bit unclear. That's how I read it too, which is freakin' fab!

Yeah! That's why I needed clarification. You think it'll be a shit show? I'll need to find a ride myself. I plan on having both samplers and no way am I driving after that.

I hesitate to guess what a shit show is, much less whether this will be one. I was out of the states for some years and probably haven't caught up with the slang yet! :P

Do you know how much a taxi between Maple Shade and downtown Phila might be?

Shit show 8)

Ummmm I'm not really sure. I hate taking cabs and, thusly, rarely do. Probably at least $40. Doesn't look like any train goes near there unfortunately.

Aha! I went to a festival at Iron Hill last year, or the year before...I forget. Definitely it was a shit show! I hope this year isn't, for me at least, since I've got more to day later that evening.

As for a cab, maybe next week you can let me know your view. Thanks && cheers!

This is from noon to 5pm. What the shit show event you went to last year at that time too? I would think there'd be less interest in a sour/bourbon barrel event compared to a normal beer event, but I could be wrong.
