Ramstein Beer and SR Fresh Hot Sauce Open House Sat. Sept 8, 2012 at 2 PM & 3:45 PM

The One and Only!

Here is a reminder for this weekend’s Ramstein Beer Open House and Tour, Saturday, Sept 8.

There will be 2 tour and tasting sessions -- 2 PM and 3:45 PM.

Beers on tap - Oktoberfest Lager, Double Platinum Blonde,  and Unfiltered Golden Lager.

2 liter growlers will be in stock, as will the very rare 1 liter wide-mouth growlers.

There will be heavy attendance, since this is the most anticipated release of the year for a seasonal beer, and Ramstein Oktoberfest has received the highest rating for an Oktoberfest beer for 2 years running from Beer Advocate. Consider the 2nd session at 3:45 on Saturday for a slightly less crowded tour.

And SR Fresh Hot Sauce will be there with the Fresh Cayenne-Cherry Pepper, Habanero Gold, and XXXXTra Hot Habanero Hot Sauce. We will also have our new Caribbean Hot Sauce, and brand new Thai Style Habanero Sriracha, Cayenne Sriracha, and Jalapeno Poblano (our first green pepper sauce) along with our Spicy Aioli in 16 oz jars -- that's Hot and Spicy Mayo for those of you scratching your heads. Come try them! And buy them!

You Hot Sauce people can check out the SR Fresh Hot Sauce Website, where the sauces are explained and sold. Check out the Fresh Hot Sauce Blog as well.

As usual, there will be a tour and explanation of the brewing process by Greg Zaccardi, the owner. [See previous post about Ramstein Beer with videos for a primer.]

See you there!

Ramstein Beer Dinner at the Smoke Rise Inn this Thursday, May 17, at 6:30 PM

For those of you who do not know it, we have a wonderful local resource here in the Highpont Brewery in Butler which makes Ramstein German style Ales and Lagers, regularly winning contests and placing amongst the very top against national craft breweries.

This is your chance to check out their beers and get a great meal besides at the SR Inn.

The Smoke Rise Inn Ramstein Beer Dinner will take place this coming Thursday, May 17 at 6:30. It's not too late to call and make a reservation at 973 838 7770. You will need Adobe Reader to read the flyer link above.

Just hit CTL-+ (browser only) to make the image larger.

There will be 2 of the ales, the Double Platinum Blonde, and the Classic Hefe-Weizen, and 2 of the lagers, the Imperial Pilsner, and the unfiltered Amber Lager, all of which I personally think are fabulous. And they taste good, too!

Plus there will be Chef George's great food: Ancho Chili Glazed Shrimp, Hong Kong Style Baby Back Ribs,  Southern Fried Chicken Stuffed with Andouille Sausage, and Slow Roasted Brisket with a Roasted Corn Salsa

Check out the Ramstein Beer website, and take a drive down there at the bottom of Kiel Ave in the big old red brick rubber factory building where, every day of the week, you can buy growlers (refillable gasketed jugs) and fill them with their beers on draft. They also have some bottled beer as well.

Reservations can be made at the SR Inn at 973 838 7770.

Come to the Beer Dinner! See you there!

*Maibock -- Rich Amber Bock brewed with Vienna and Munich malts. Pure lager yeast ferments this beer to create a deep malty character with a hint of caramel toffee aroma. Robust noble hops and 7.5% abv. intertwine the malty and toasty flavors. Historically, this beer is brewed once a year to celebrate the “Stark Bierzeit” (strong beer season) and to welcome the warming Spring Sunshine. (Draft Only)
