Jake's Friday Tapping Parties: Lincoln- Weyerbacher Seventeen / Omaha‏‏- Vicaris Tripel-Gueze

Friday (8/3) tapping parties for the Lincoln & Omaha Jake's





LINCOLN JAKE'S: This Friday will be an awesome tapping party for what has become a great yearly tradition for us in Nebraska from Weyerbacher Brewing Company out of Easton, Pennsylvania.  Each year in celebration of their anniversary they put out a delicious style-bending strong ale, and this year is no different with the release of 'Seventeen' Saison.

Brewery description: "Seventeen is a Saison Ale brewed with pink peppercorns, orange zest, lemon zest, and grapefruit zest.  Brewed to the classic “Weyerbacher anniversary requirement” of a strength of 10% abv or more, Seventeen weighs in at a style-obliterating 10.5% abv.  Seventeen releases subtle notes of fruit, berry and pepper upon pouring. You’ll notice a balanced sweetness with a touch of citrus and spice with a dry and peppery finish."


5:00 pm Jake's Lincoln (14th & P St.)



OMAHA JAKE'S: It's not often we get cool collaborations, or blends rather in this case, from Belgium on draft, but we will be spoiled rotten this Friday.  Vicaris Tripel Gueuze is a blend of Vicaris Tripel and Girardin lambic.  Oh Yeah!

Vanberg & DeWulf description: "The origin of the celebrated Vicaris Tripel & Girardin Gueuze is delightfully serendipitous. At the Zythos Craft Beer Festival in Sint Niklaas, the Dilewyn’s booth happened to be right next to that of the Girardin Brewery, which makes some of the finest Lambics in Belgium. While tasting each other’s wares, they accidentally ended up with a mélange of Vicaris Tripel and Girardin Gueuze in a glass. This combination proved to be so delicious that Vincent Dilewyns decided he had to make it an official beer. You have not tasted anything like this before! One plus one equals 1000!"
