We love celebrating our anniversary with all of you and releasing this year’s Imperial Chupacabra. We will have two nights to celebrate both of these glorious occasions.

Starting at 6:30pm, we will host an annual Vertical Tasting of 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 Imperial Chupacabra. 35 lucky people will hear all about these beers, taste each one and get a commemorative glass to keep. There will be appetizers, a reception E15 beer of their choice plus time with the brewers to complete a great evening. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased starting Wednesday, June 8th by emailing david@engine15.com (no calls or walk-ups).

Saturday, July 2nd – CHUPACABRA BOTTLE RELEASE
Starting at 11am, we will release bottles of the 2016 Imperial Chupacabra. The first 50 people will be able to purchase up to 4 bottles and get a commemorative glass – if you are one of the first 25 people you can also purchase one bottle of the limited 2015 vintage. The next 50 people can purchase up to 2 bottles. Get your spot early – we were sold out by 1pm last year!

In the same newsletter, Engine 15 gives a small update on the progress of their downtown location:

The Downtown location re-zoning is moving along. This Thursday, June 9th our application goes before the Planning Commission. The Planning commission will review the application and determine if the proposed use is consistent with the city’s 2030 Comprehensive plan. We believe it is and hopefully the Commission will agree and recommend for approval.

Later this month on June 21st our application is scheduled to be reviewed by Land Use and Zoning. Once both of these are reviewed and depending on their particular recommendations and comments, we will have more information on the progress. So wish us well and we will update everyone with more information later in the month.

Lagerhaus Brewery to celebrate 6th anniversary

Palm Harbor- Lagerhaus Brewing Company began as the brainchild of Mr. Franz Rothschadl and Mr. Josef Fischer. After winning numerous awards for beers of various types and service while working for other restaurants, the two men decided to form their own brewpub in the Eastlake area of Oldsmar/ Palm Harbor.

Thus Lagerhaus was born in December, six years ago. The brewery began making European-themed beers, they branched out and have brewed many American twists into their beers, like adding pear to their hefeweizen, which Rothschadl admits would get him “tarred and feathered in Germany.” Lagerhaus pours at many local festivals- everything from their light and refreshing beers to their big boozy behemoth dubbed “44 magnum.”

This weekend the brewery and restaurant will celebrate six years in business at their Palm Harbor Brewery. The party will last from noon to midnight at 3438 South EasT Lake Business Center in Palm Harbor.

From the brewery:

I can’t believe it! Our Lagerhaus is going to be 6 years old and It has been quite a ride! Join me for our birthday bash this Saturday and every Lagerhauser will get a free beer or wine of choice on us. Larry is going to roast a whole “pig with a twist” in the Biergarten!
