Beer Quest Winner Tapping Party @ Jake's Lincoln & Omaha

Friday Tapping Parties for Jake's Lincoln & Omaha



This Friday (7/6) at both Lincoln & Omaha Jake's locations will be a very special tapping party for the most recent Empyrean Beer Quest winning beer, a 100% Cascade hopped American IPA,  brewed by Empyrean Brewing Company and winning homebrewer Casey Diekmann.

For those who have never heard of Beer Quest, it is an Empyrean Brewing Company 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.

Brewery description: "Our Beer Quest One Hop winner is Lincoln home brewer Casey Diekmann – this is Casey’s first time winning Beer Quest. This American IPA recipe uses nothing but Cascade hops which is quite unique as most beers utilize two or more hop varieties. Cascades are one of the quintessential American hop varieties and as used in this beer create a classic example of American IPA."

LINCOLN ONLY!: Winning brewer Casey Diekmann will be hanging out, so come down and congratulate him over a pint of his delicious IPA!
