Join Owl Farm’s 3rd Anniversary Party with Craft Beer All-Stars on Tap

by

In just three short years, the Owl Farm (297 9th Street, Brooklyn; 718-499-4988) has cemented its place in Park Slope as a formidable destination for craft beer and canines. This Saturday, they mark the anniversary with a 20-hour celebration of suds kicking off at 8 a.m. If you think that’s too early to be drinking beer, you’ve never tried Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Breakfast. They have a whole keg of the rare Danish import rearing to go. And the draft list gets even more exclusive from there, as the bar slowly unleashes selections they’ve been hoarding for months. Don’t sleep on this one.

The selections showcase venerated ales and lagers from across the globe, including special release bottles that will be available by the glass, throughout the day. Multiple offerings from Belgian lambic legends like Cantillon, and Tilquen, the final keg in existence of Other Half’s Greenbacks IPA, a small barrel of Schneider Aventinus that’s been aging for 12 years, not to mention the unique beer distillates. Four boilermakers have been paired specifically for the big day.

Come for the coffee stout, stay for the smoked ale aged in scotch barrels (Xbeeriment #44). Either way, if you’re a fan of craft beer, make it to Owl Farm tomorrow, and bring an insatiable thirst. Below is a list of everything announced thus far. Expect additional surprises—Brooklyn’s own Grimm Artisanal Ales just confirmed they will be unveiling the first keg of their unreleased Simcoe Double IPA. Imagine what Owl Farm’s tenth anniversary list will look like.
