      <title>Tuesday Night Tasting: Vintage Barleywines</title>
      <description/>
      <description>February 14, 2012, Tuesday at 7:00 PM  &lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;/places/312-bierkraft&quot;&gt;Bierkraft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Valentine's is almost upon us and if you're a proper beer geek you probably don't have a date.  We're making this a special tasting just for you: five vintage barleywines from our cellar.  Bierkraft's cellar manager, Matt Barclay, will be your guide since he hid these beers down there in the first place (and sure as hell doesn't have a date.)

As always our Tuesday Night Tastings are free and fun.  Seating is limited and available on a first come first served basis so please plan on arriving early.

Tentative line up:

Smuttynose Barleywine 2007
Nogne-0 Batch #100 2008
Uinta Barleywine 2008
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot 2008
Ithaca Old Habit 2008&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Valentine's beer and dessert pairing</title>
      <description/>
      <description>February 14, 2012, Tuesday at 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM &lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;/places/2699-rockwell-s-neighborhood-grill&quot;&gt;Rockwell's Neighborhood Grill&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, February 14th, we'll be offering some nice treats to make your Valentine's day special.

First off, we'll be featuring BOULEVARD CHOCOLATE ALE. In developing this beer, Elbow and Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels sought to harmonize the interplay of chocolate and malt, with each supporting and enhancing, but not overwhelming, the other. Just the right chocolate was essential. Elbow recommended a rare variety from the Dominican Republic, prized for its robust flavor and aroma, and a personal favorite. More than a mere flavoring, the chocolate &#8212; in the form of nibs, or crushed, roasted beans &#8211; was incorporated into the brewing process itself.

And for dessert, we're featuring a homemade CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE. This mini-cheesecake will feature an Oreo cookie crust, chocolate fill, and topped with fresh strawberries and a chocolate ganache.

Of course, if your wanted both, we're offering our VALENTINE'S DAY COMBO. You'll get two 8oz pours of the Boulevard Chocolate Ale and one mini-cheesecake, all for just $12. Not a bad way to top off your romantic evening.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our favorite day of the year&#8230;  we get all rosy in the cheeks thinking about all the amazing cards and candy we got as a kid&#8230; all warm and fuzzy and stuff&#8230; thank you greeting card companies for having the marketing sense and connections in our
elementary school districts to create yet another day where we can spend a ton of cash, because it's not like we didn&#8217;t spend all of our hard earned money celebrating whatever we chose to celebrate in December and then dumping whatever was left in our wallets on NYE&#8230; you rock !! 

 

Because we need to do something to fill our marketing calendars we&#8217;re hosting an evening of elegance and refinement.  We asked our favorite
local home brewers what they would like to drink on valentines day and here are the breweries and beers that we came up with.


Please keep in mind the following&#8230;

30.00 is the cost of a ticket

5.00 will go to the American heart foundation

A ticket will get you:
As much Beer &amp; Food as you can manage to consume while still in the bar... Haven't you always wanted to session on 10% + beer??

This is how much we love you

Happy valentines day

Mikkeller Single hop citra, mikkeller fresh hop, mikkeller draft bear, evil twin biscotti break, evil twin Williamsburg hipster, evil twin Freudian slip, Stillwater/mikkeller ourside, local option American mussel, local option morning wood, half acre daisy cutter, left hand ambidextrous, 5 rabbit huitzi

Most importantly&#8230; 

We will have in house the future of brewing in Chicago: home brewers from brutally honest, corazone, and powell will be in house sampling out their sweet, sweet brews.

And finally&#8230;

Every female that attends will receive a bag full of some cool beer

one lucky lady will receive the ultimate bag filled with:

All 3 sisters from goose island vintage 2010, 1 finches dirtier bird and a bottle of bells batch 9000&lt;/p&gt;</description>
