Monk’s Revenge, once a side project, has now joined Terrapin’s Monster Beer Tour. Just a few weeks ago, Atlanta saw the first 4 packs of this Belgian IPA. Tonight at The Porter Beer Bar a cask of this beer will be featured.
Monk’s Revenge is brewed with a malt bill like a Belgian Tripel, but with the hop content of an IPA. The Belgian yeast comes from one of the 7 Trappist breweries. Monk’s Revenge also uses dextrose, an adjuct was used to force carbonate Monk’s , and is the first time brewer Spike Buckowski has ever used it.
Once a 22oz side project, now a seasonal release! Terrapin’s – Monk’s Revenge has landed. On the shelves, now in 12oz bottles.

Terrapin Georgia Theatre Sessions “Old Tankard” In Stores
Boxes of Terrapin’s beer to benefit the Georgia Theatre are quickly arriving in Atlanta stores. Each 22 oz bottle is individually boxed.
From Brewer Spike –
The Brew 1 — March — “The Iron Tankard” Old Stock Ale — The building started as a YMCA in 1889 and had a huge iron swimming pool in the basement.
From Spike: Iron Tankard “Old Stock Ale” is the first of four beers in Terrapin’s Georgia Theatre Sessions. It is brewed with a generous portion of crystal malts for a full body and is lightly hopped. This malt forward beer has flavors of dark dried fruit, mellow alcoholic warmth and is unfiltered for your listening pleasure.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Georgia Historic Trust for Historic Preservation Fund to rebuild the Georgia Theater. To make things even more interesting, there is one Golden Ticket hidden among each of the Georgia Theater Sessions brews. This means that four lucky winners will receive a lifetime pass to the new Theater.
I hope that you are the lucky winner!
Cheers! – Spike

Meet the Brewer/Beer Dinner – Terrapin & SOHO Atlanta!
I have to say I really love it when a restaurant takes an interest in beer. For the longest time, most restaurants you would step foot into would have the same 3 or 4 beers you’ve seen on tap a thousand times prior. Luckily, that situation is changing. Beer is evolving. Many restaurants these days are starting to see the complexity of craft beer, and that food pairing isn’t just for wine anymore.
I got to meet Frank Smith, General Manger of SOHO Restaurant in Vinings last week. Frank was on the quest for greater beer knowledge, because he wants to expand SOHO’s selection. In my “professional” opinion, that is a great idea! While speaking with Frank, he mentioned that SOHO is hosting a beer dinner this Tuesday, with brewer Spike Buckowski in attendance. If you haven’t met Spike or been to SOHO, I can think of no better time to do both. Here is the menu —
~ Reception ~
Shrimp Basil Rolls with a Thai Peanut Sauce
Skewered Jerk Chicken topped with a Mango Aioli
* Terrapin Rye Pale Ale *
~ 1st Course ~
Hot Smoked Sockeye Salmon, Salad of Grilled Romain,
Sound delicious? Thought so. The dinner is $42 plus tax/tip. Call 770.801.0069 for Reservations. Time isn’t on the info I received, I’ll post when I find out.
Recently I’ve gotten A LOT of questions about when this beer benefiting the rebuild of the Georgia Theatre is going to finally arrive. Official word from Terrapin? Not sure yet. Each of the boxes had to be individually hand numbered and boxed, so it’s been a little time consuming. A release party has already been held in Athens. (Thanks @jbyce) I’m pleased to announce that your first taste of this beer is coming soon. On April 6th, Manuel’s Tavern will have a cask of “The Iron Tankard.”
“The Iron Tankard” is the first release of 4 releases dedicated to the rebuild of The Georgia Theatre, taken by fire last year. The Iron Tankard refers to a huge iron swimming pool that used to reside in the basement of the building when it started as a YMCA in 1889. Tankard is an Old Ale, fitting for the age of the building itself. Old Ales are characterized by a strong malt character. Brewers used to transfer the ale to vats/oak casks to age for a long time. Thus, Old Ale.
