It’s been far too long. But Drake’s Brewing in San Leandro is having a tasting of a special beer Thursday, (June 18, 2008), beginning at 6 p.m. at the Toronado in San Francisco. The brew, known as Biere Speciale, is is a blend of two beers:
- Brettamber, which has been aged two years in a merlot oak barrel with Brettanomyces (wild yeast).
- Batch 2000, Drake’s 2000th brew. It’s a Belgian-style tripel, aged two years using a Trappist ale yeast.
Haven’t reached Drake’s head brewer Josh Minor yet to talk about the beer, but Toronado proprietor David Keene says he’ll have a number of other Drake’s beers on tap as well. There’s no admission charge, pay for your beer.
