The Masked Winter Ball is a celebration of winter and community as well as a benefit for Opera-Matic.  It is going to be held Saturday January 30th.  Here's a link to information on the ball.

This is going to interesting, and what's better than interesting?

Hope to see you there.

Celebrity Sausage

There were some real deserving candidates for this Sausage.  A lot of Passionate folks.  After serious scrutiny we chose Eric Hodek (pictured above).  This gentlemen has experience in the field and a real zest for encased meats.  Congrats to Eric Hodek.

We did want to make mention of some of the people that also had real chops, but lost out because we could only choose one to hog the glory.  We also wanted to point out that most people who threw their hat in the ring, threw it out on behalf of another. Beer and hot dogs attracts a very altruistic bunch, so here's to you. You're all stars.

The Celebrity

As you know (see post) Baume' comes out tomorrow in growler format and will only be pouring at the brewery, so stop by to fill up.....  Bottles and draft to follow around the city.

In honor, and to celebrate with our friends from Hot Doug's, they've been serving a bacon and cheddar Elk Sausage with Half Acre Beer(Daisy Cutter) mustard and Moutardier cheese, all week and through Saturday.

Half Acre will also be naming next week's celebrity sausage, and that's where you come in.  You guys are the power that keeps this train moving, so enough about us......what about you?  All you have to do is tell us why you should be the Celebrity Sausage and you just might be the celebrity sausage.  Top notch at amazing feats?  Awkward in every way possible? Superhuman at the totally mundane?  Tell us, you're a star.....go ahead.  

Winner, chosen by us, gets to either name the sausage after themselves or use the power for another.  

Submit by Saturday morning by either commenting on this post or emailing us at info@halfacrebeer.com

You're going to be famous.

Kegs

We sell both 15.5 gallon & 5 gallon kegs at our brewery store. You guys can come right to us and pick up keg beers from our regular lineup, and also get kegs of special release beers that may only be available at the brewery. Everybody loves parties and no better way to spend time with friends than drinking fresh, draft beer at your home. A kegerator is a quality addition to any household.  Believe This.

(We recommend calling to reserve a keg first in order to guarantee the specific beer you're trying to get your hands on)

**We will be starting a program for special release beers that will allow people to pre order 5 gal. kegs. Give a call if interested.

Baume'

We've brewed Baume' again this year.  Maybe you got the chance to try it last year, it was the first beer we brewed in our brewery.  So, each year we'll brew it again to commemorate that brew and thank a lot of people that help to make Half Acre a bitchin' thing to be part of.

Like last year, Baume' is a chocolate rye stout with a generous hop allotment.  This year will be a little bigger and a little hoppier.  Either way, you can bank on some big chocolate in this beer and a solid, dry finish.

Our goal is to release it at the brewery next Friday 1/22.  Growler pours will be first followed by a 22oz release.  Baume' will also be available out in the world, as well.  So be sure to keep an eye out. We hope you get the chance to try this beer.

Cheers,
