It’s a very special Thursday Tap™ when brewer Filip Govaerts from Brouwerij Het Nest from Turnhout, Belgium, joins us for a new beer launch! The Het Nest brewery started as a group of friends with a beer tasting club. They then moved on to brewing classes and, eventually, to brewing their own beer. Join Filip Govaerts from the brewery for the debut of two of their beers in New York:
- Turnhoutse Patriot Saison (draft) is a 6.5% saison brewed with barley malt, spelt, American hops, and fermented with a French saison yeast strain. Brewed in honor of the city of Turnhout’s 800th anniversary. The city of Turnhout is known for the manufacturing of playing cards which is why their logo is a hand of cards and playing cards are featured on most of the labels.
- Ace of Spades (bottles) is a 6.5% amber ale hopped with Tomahawk and Simoe and fermented with brettanomyces during secondary fermentation.
And around 6 p.m., we’ll be bringing in Lawless Jerky for meaty samples of their artisan, small-batch jerky!
