Tap It Tuesday

Monday, January 10th, 2011

The 2nd Tuesday of every month the Dillon Dam Brewery hosts Tap It Tuesday. The Dam features a special beer from the brewmaster’s unique stash. We tap a 5 gallon keg at 5 p.m. and the beers are $5 per half pint until its gone.  The January 10 beer will be:  Imperial Black Weiss that’s been aged on Malbec and Cabernet soaked blackcherry woodchips.  The spice of the Weihenstephan yeast should play nicely with the zip of the Malbec while the cherry and chocolate flavors marry the berries and oak of the Cab.
