2nd Annual MSD Brew Ha-Ha – Drink beer at school!

2nd Annual MSD Brew Ha-HaRemember when you were in grade school and the teacher would get all mad at you for cracking open a delicious IPA in the middle of class? And you’re all like “You don’t understand. This was only bottled 5 days ago!”. I can’t be the only one, can I? Well now is your chance to get back at your teacher and support the Montessori School of Dayton at the same time. The 2nd Annual MSD Brew Ha-Ha is happening on January 26, and this year is going to be great. Take that, Mrs. Virginia!

All joking aside, this is not an event that you’ll want to miss. There will be some beers available that are tough to find anywhere else – trust me when I say that. There will also be a bunch of your favorite beers from all of those Midwest breweries that make people on the coasts jealous.

Get your tickets today!

 

Join the Montessori School of Dayton for our 2nd annual Brew Ha-Ha craft beer event. It will be a great time to make a few new friends, enjoy a few laughs, taste a few amazing craft beers (and a few great soft drinks as well!) and enjoy some tasty food.

The Brew Ha-Ha (adults only) takes place January 26th from 6-10 pm. Tickets are $30 per person in advance and $35 the night of the event. Attendees receive 10 drink tickets along with a commemorative tasting pint glass. Additional tickets can be purchased at the door for $1 each. Also be sure to purchase raffle tickets to win prizes the night of the event. Proceeds benefit the MSD Capital Improvement fund for the purchase of a new gymnasium floor.

Like our first year, we will concentrate on Midwest craft breweries and offer an opportunity to learn about craft brewing and the wide variety of beer types and brewing styles. Come sample some of the midwest’s finest craft breweries — Brew Kettle, Rivertown, Hoppin’ Frog, Bell’s, New Holland, Troegs, Dark Horse, Founders, Two Brothers, Jolly Pumpkin and more!

We will also be offering on-site beer sales after the event on any opened cases. This will be a fun way to build your ideal six pack of craft beers from the evening.

Please feel free to invite your friends and families to join. Space is limited so get your tickets early!

Dark Lord Day 2012 Recap

Saturday, April 28 was the annual Dark Lord Day over at Three Floyds Brewing in Munster, Indiana. For those of you who don’t you, the event is a festival based around the release of their imperial stout called Dark Lord. The event was a blast! I had planned on writing a big long post about everything that we did, but photos and video will have to suffice (for now, at least).

Snobby Beer Blog – Beer Tasting at Trolley Stop

Yesterday I went over to the Trolley Stop in the lovely Oregon District in Dayton, Ohio to attend the monthly beer tasting. The beer tasting is hosted by none other than Mike Schwartz from Belmont Party Supply (my favorite place to buy beer in Dayton). They had some really great beers, and everyone voted for their favorite – the winner gets served on tap the following month at The Trolly Stop! There were 9 beers total. Here’s some photos from the night! Click Read More to see all the photos!

 

 

Here's some of the beers from the night! Missing beers are Left Hand's Stranger (I rated it a 3/5) and Castelain Blond Biere De Garde by Brasserie Castelain à Bénifontaine (I rated it a 2/5)
