This Thursday (10/20) at both the Omaha & Lincoln Jake's locations will be a very special tapping party for Empyrean Brewing Company's Beer Quest winning beer.
Beer Quest is a quarterly event which starts with 21 homebrewers going head to head in a private competition judged by certified beer judges, with the top 10 beers moving on to the Beer Quest public event. Brewers in this final round serve their beer and speak with the public about what processes and techniques they used to make their beer unique. The publics job is to try each one of the beers and rank the brewers in order of favorite. The winner of the public tasting is crowned the winning brewer, and is awarded the opportunity to brew the winning recipe on Empyrean's big brewery system.
Jim Anciaux and Bryon Belding, the champs of the recent Beer Quest event, are no strangers to the winners circle, with a combined 5 wins over the years. With the theme of the latest event being "X-Periment-Ale Ales", Jim and Bryon created a Belgian-style Witbier brewed with rhubarb. The outcome has all the wonderful creamy and citrus character one would expect, but with a pleasant tartness that the rhubarb imparts. Crisp and refreshing, this one is a real treat.
**LINCOLN LOCATION ONLY** Come on down and meet the brewers Jim and Bryon! Share a pint with the guys, and learn more about brewing with this unique ingredient.
6:00 pm Jake's Omaha (62nd & Maple)
6:00 pm Jake's Lincoln (14th & P St.)
