Motorworks Brewing to pour barrel-aged brews on Black Friday

Black Friday has become the day when crazy deals bring even modest shoppers out into the retail wilderness. Local craft breweries have caught on to this madness and, in recent years, have done their best to be a port in the storm for weary Christmas shoppers. This year, Motorworks Brewing will stop teasing photos and hints of their barrel-aged beers and pour them on Black Friday.

From Motorworks Newsletter:

Don’t fight the holiday crowds this year! Instead come treat yourself to some very Limited Edition Special Releases, including our Barrel Aged Barleywine, Barrel Aged Tamarind Brown Ale, and Russian Imperial Stout, available both on draft and for the first time ever, in the bottle also! Mark you calendars for “Big Beer Black Friday” now! November 28th, 2014!

Motorworks Brewing is located at 1014 Ninth Street West in Bradenton.

Proof Brewing to tap Barrel Aged Warpath Imperial IPA

A few weeks ago Proof Brewing Company announced that they had made an Imperial IPA in celebration of the FSU Seminoles’ BCS National Championship. This bruising, take-no-prisoners imperial IPA is so strong and demand is so high that Proof had to presell pours and impose a limit to ensure that all fans got to try it.

This week, Proof is announcing the tapping of the Barrel Aged version of Warpath. This Friday, March 7th, Proof will tap a limited amount of this beer at 5pm.

Proof Brewing is located at 1717 West Tennessee Street in Tallahassee.

Proof’s Warpath IPA becomes a special release

Due to overwhelming demand, Proof Brewing Company is changing the release of their Warpath IPA from a regular “it’s available at the bar” tap release to a “pre-sale” release.

Proof recently announced in their newsletter that:

We will begin pre-sales at
7PM ON THE BACK PATIO.

You will be purchasing the glass with a FILL CERTIFICATE that will allow you ONE PROOF WARPATH starting at 8PM. (Warpath will only be available with fill certificate and not for individual purchase due to limited quantities)

All fill certificates will need to be used by Midnight.
PLUS enjoy a $1 off any 50 Taps both before AND after the event with your glass!
LIMIT ONE PER PERSON.

Proof is releasing Warpath IPA to commemorate the Florida State Seminoles’ National Championship run. The release is tonight, February 12th beginning with 7pm pre-sales.

Proof is located at 1717 West Tennessee Street in Tallahassee.
