Paris of the Plains Cocktail Festival starts today (http://www.popfestkc.com/news/)! You might be wondering why that's important to beer drinkers. There is a reason! If you're not headed to the Great Nebraska Beer Festival this weekend, join Boulevard Beer for a seminar called Beer Tails! on Saturday at 4:30 at Crown Center. Certified Cicerone Andy Jenkins will be joined by Ryan Maybee of Manifesto (best cocktails in KC) and Ryan Conklin from Denver, discussing the role of beer in cocktail culture. I am sure the tickets will be well worth the price!
On Friday, Schnucks Richmond Center will host Schlafly's Dan Kopman between 4 and 6 pm. Chat with Dan and get some damn good beer! I suggest a bourbon barrel Schlafly Imperial Stout or start the fall with a Schlafly Pumpkin (the best pumpkin beer to be had).
I might be late to the party, but a new Gallup poll found that beer is America's favorite alcoholic beverage, edging out wine. http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-beer-wine-20120820,0,5974156.story
As mentioned above, Saturday is the Great Nebraska Beer Fest! http://greatnebraskabeerfest.com/ Looks like some darn good breweries and beers will be there. Check out the beer list and if you can, go and check out the beer. Lots of local craft breweries from the Midwest will be there along with some solid national players. I have half a mind to go just for some Coconut Porter from Maui Brewing.
Looks like a fire has taken out Jerry's Bait Shop in Lenexa. Not really a happening beer joint, but sad none-the-less. http://www.kctv5.com/story/19328648/lenexa-bar-could-be-shut-down-after-fire
@WaldoPizza and Stone IPA are joining forces for good--and not just good pizza and beer. Stone donated a keg of IPA to Waldo Pizza with the proceeds going to a good cause, Gillis Home. http://gillis.org/ Buy a beer and help a kid!
Rumor has it that @Schlafly is visiting is visiting @RoyalLiquorBeer at 103rd and State Line in KCMO ON 8/22 for an impromptu tasting from 5 to 7 with Gary Briggs.
