Cypress Street Beer Geek Tuesday 9/7
It’s Beer Geek Tuesday at Cypress Street. In addition to new beers for the occasion, a spiffy new logo is paired with them. Now that Labor Day has come and gone, people are starting to take fall seriously. What are the first beers I think of ? Oktoberfests/Marzens. Cypress Street agrees.
Today begins an oktoberfest celebration on Tuesdays. A new oktoberfest beer (or 2) will hit tap handles each Tuesday during September. I’m sure there will be some surprises along the way. In addition to these fall lagers and ales, the chefs at Cypress Street will be pairing traditional German food. Just another way to beer geek out. The beers today:
Terrapin Pumpkinfest – Pumpkin Ale, 6.1% ABV. Brewed like an oktoberfest with pureed pumpkin added in the finish. It’s malty and pumpkin-y at the same time.
Left Hand — Oktoberfest. 6% ABV. Toffee, sweet malt. Hints of coffee and roasted malt. Longmont, CO
Also – the latest in Left Hand/Terrapin’s Midnight Collaboration – Oxymoron will be sold by the glass. Read about Oxymoron HERE!

Cypress Street Celebrates Belgian Independence Day!
Hopefully you the fellow readers are familiar with American Independence Day – July4, 1776. (If you’re not, read a book.) Tomorrow – July 21st is Belgian Independence Day! How do you celebrate? Drink Belgian beer of course! Tonight’s Beer Geek Tuesday at Cypress Street features beers and food to highlight the Belgian Independence.
Following the Congress of Vienna in 1814, the small country of Belgium was joined with the Dutch state of Holland to form what would be called the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This forced integration, imposed by mainly Austrian and English powers, would last a scant 15 years before Belgium revolted and proclaimed independence for itself. July 21st, 1831 Belgium finally gained independence from the Dutch, with Leopold I becoming King of Belgium. It was declared a neutral country, which lasted until World War I.
Celebrating the independence of one of the worlds greatest beer drinking countries Cypress offers this beer lineup –
Rodenbach – Flanders Red Ale, 6% ABV. Easily one of the most well known flander’s red ales in the US. Sour cherry, with a complex malt profile.
Rodenbach 2007 Vintage – By the glass offering of this 3 year aged Grand Cru. The version is unblended straight from the wood vat.
Palm – Belgian Pale Ale, 5.4%. Flagship offering by this Belgian brewer. It’s a deep amber pale. Light and crisp. Glass giveways with this beer.
Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor – Belgian IPA, 8% ABV. Prime example of a Belgian IPA from Belgium. It’s hoppy, with a nice Belgian yeast funk.
Also – other Belgians from the usual Cypress lineup – St Bernardus Abt. 12, Chimay White, Chimay Blue, & Wittekerke.
Belgian Food Pairings will be offered by house Chef Travis Carroll. It all starts today at 7 pm!

RARE BEER ALERT: Founder’s Black Biscuit!
Tapping tonight at Cypress Street for Beer Geek Tuesday is a RARE keg of Founder’s Black Biscuit. Black Biscuit is an barrel aged dark/black ale. Sound good yet? You’d be hard pressed to find someone that has had it that didn’t love this beer.
Description – So I called Founder’s to get more info on Black Biscuit. Lots of Biscuit malt was used in this brew. It is aged in regular bourbon barrels, with molasses added. Black Biscuit has been described as a cross between a black ale and a baltic porter.
Taste Expectations – Oak, Chocolate, coffee, vanilla and alcohol. Molasses and chocolate in the finish. Lots of flavors to sort out. Complex, and fascinating.
Taps @ 6pm

Cypress Street Beer Geek Tuesday 7/6
Tapping tonight at Cypress Street’s Beer Geek Tuesday the very recent Terrapin/De Proef collaboration “Monstre Rouge” will be tapped. This beer hit shelves late last week and is already hard to find.
Just to recap – “Monstre Rouge” is dubbed an Imperial Flanders Red Ale. It’s based off of Terrapin’s Big Hoppy Monster, a red ale, with rye malt added. A brettanomyces yeast was added for souring, then it sat on toasted American oak. Rouge is a ONE TIME collaboration with famed Belgian brewer Dirk Naudts of De Proef Brewing in Lochristi, Belgium.
Grab this beer while you can, it’s a one time offer!
