An old fashioned hard liver beer fest for scallywags, scoundrels and old tavern rats, in other words all the best people. An ode to the legendary publican and Horse Brass Pub's late founder Don Younger, aka the Old Tavern Rat. As Don would famously say “It’s not about the beer — it’s about the beer!” today you might say "barleywine is life." The inaugural Old Tavern Rat Barleywine Festival was founded in the spirit of the publicans from San Francisco, Seattle, and Oregon, that helped build the craft beer industry.Old Tavern Rat Barleywine Festival will feature 20 young, and barrel-aged, barleywines on draft at Horse Brass' new event room and in the sheltered breezeway next to the pub. In addition to draft barleywines, a bottle pour bar of vintage cellared pours will be available while supplies last.
Expect beers from Anchorage Brewing, Firestone Walker, Reuben's Brews, Fort George, Fremont Brewing, pFriem Family Brewers, Alesong Brewing & Blending, Hair of the Dog, Obelisk Beer, and many more tba.
