Orlando area breweries pour forth to celebrate the Bach Festival

February 3, 2016

Press Release: The highly anticipated Branderburger Bock, a limited edition beer from Cask & Larder in collaboration with the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park, will be released at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, kicking off a festive, music-filled event featuring releases from a chorus of local breweries. Paying homage to famed 18th-century composer Johann Sebastian Bach, a noted beer lover, the second annual release party will treat attendees to live performances by members of the acclaimed Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra and a special German-themed food menu, along with other Bach-inspired beers from Redlight Redlight, ten10, Central 28, Crooked Can and Red Cypress.

To sample beers from the guest breweries, attendees may purchase a wristband ($15) and receive a cup which can be filled with six-ounce tasting pours from each brewer. Samples from the guest breweries, available beginning at noon, will be in limited supply, so organizers recommend arriving early at the event, which will run until 4 p.m..

All Cask & Larder beers, including the Branderburger Bock will be available for $6 each. The limited edition beer will be available on tap until it runs out and also will be sold in 32-ounce to-go crowlers for $8 per can at Swine & Sons. Cask & Larder will donate $1 from each Brandenburger Bock pint sold to the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park.

“The Brandenburger Bock is a traditional strong German lager, brewed to mimic the style of beer Bach enjoyed in the 18th century,” said Larry Foor, Cask & Larder’s Head Brewer. “It’s been really fun brewing this year’s batch and I can’t wait to see what the other breweries and the Bach Festival Society have in store for the release party.”
The Bach Festival Society of Winter Park will present music from noon to 3:00p.m..

“We’re excited to bring our music into the community, and celebrate the 81st Winter Park Bach Festival with Cask and Larder, building on last year’s amazing event,” said Bach Festival Society Artistic Director and Conductor John V. Sinclair. “The Society has a rich history in the community going back to 1935, and this is a wonderful new way to introduce the music of Bach and his contemporaries to more visitors and residents of Central Florida.”

Weather permitting, beer samples from guest breweries will occur in the Cask & Larder parking lot. A grill station will also be available outdoors with bratwurst for purchase (cash only). Inside the restaurant and at the Cask & Larder bar a special German-themed menu will be available featuring:

Farmhouse Crudite with avocado-boiled peanut hummus
Curry Fries
Brats on a bun with mustard
Country Ham Pretzels with beer mustard (ham wrapped in pretzel)
Chicken Schnitzel Sliders with red cabbage
Pork Belly & Sauerkraut

The harmonious collaboration between Cask & Larder and The Bach Festival Society began in 2015 after Betsy Gwinn and Alex Tiedtke, of the Bach Festival Society, came across a 300-year old letter Johann Sebastian Bach wrote to a friend proclaiming his love for a barrel of beer he had received as a gift. Gwinn and Tiedtke approached Cask & Larder head brewer Larry Foor about brewing a beer in a style similar to the one Bach wrote about to celebrate the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park’s 80th anniversary. Now approaching its 81st Annual Winter Park Bach Festival, from Feb. 12-28, 2016, the Winter Park ensemble is the third oldest Bach Festival Society in the United States.

Cask & Larder announces second collaboration with Bach Festival Society

January 7, 2016

Press Release: For the second consecutive year, Cask & Larder and the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park will collaborate on a limited edition beer release to commemorate famed 18th century German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, a noted beer lover. The 2016 Branderburger Bock will debut during a special beer release party at Cask & Larder on Feb. 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will also feature a live performance by members of the acclaimed Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra, who will serenade the audience with selections from Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos.

The 2016 Branderburger Bock, brewed by Cask & Larder head brewer Larry Foor, will be produced in a style that mimics the methods of brewing in Germany during the 18th century to ensure the beer is similar to the ones with which Bach was so smitten. In addition to unveiling his newest beer, Foor has invited several other local breweries, including Redlight Redlight, ten10, Central 28, Crooked Can and Red Cypress to also pay homage to Bach. Each brewery will showcase its own German-style beer during the event.

“It’s great to partner with the Bach Festival Society again to release a new edition of the Branderburger Bock,” said Foor. “The turnout last year was unbelievable and it’s amazing to see this grow into an annual affair and have the opportunity to include other local breweries.”

The harmonious collaboration between Cask & Larder and The Bach Festival Society came to be after Betsy Gwinn and Alex Tiedtke, of the Bach Festival Society, discovered a 300-year old letter Johann Sebastian Bach wrote to a friend proclaiming his love for a barrel of beer he had received as a gift. Gwinn and Tiedtke approached Cask & Larder head brewer Larry Foor about brewing a beer in a style similar to the one Bach wrote about to celebrate the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park’s 80th anniversary. Now approaching its 81st Annual Winter Park Bach Festival, from Feb. 12-28, 2016, the Winter Park ensemble is the third oldest Bach Festival Society in the United States.

“We’re thrilled to kick off the 81st Winter Park Bach Festival with this fun event. J.S. Bach was a frequent visitor to coffeehouses and loved his beer and wine so I am sure he wouldn’t mind having his secular works performed outside the concert hall in a far more casual setting. After all he did.” said Dr. John Sinclair, Artistic Director and Conductor of the Bach Festival Society.

The Brandenburger Bock release party will also feature a special German food menu to pair with the beer. The limited edition beer will be available on tap until it runs out and also will be sold in 32-ounce to-go crowlers for $7 per can at both Cask & Larder and Swine & Sons. Cask & Larder will donate $1 from each Brandenburger Bock sold to the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park.

Orlando’s Redlight Redlight to celebrate a decade in craft beer

May 21, 2015

When owner Brent Hernandez opened Redlight Redlight as a craft beer bar in the Winter Park area of Orlando, craft beer was much younger, and Florida craft beer was in its infancy. Now, when the Winter Park craft beer landmark celebrates ten years in the business, the celebration requires more than an afternoon, more than a day, and more than a week. Redlight Redlight’s decade-a-versary will take ten days to properly celebrate–one for each year.

The festivities will not end with celebration at the bar. Since the traditional tenth anniversary gift is tin, Redlight Redlight would like to can a beer for the occasion. Hernandez says that Cigar City Brewing is on board and likely Ten10 Brewing will be, too. With their forces combined, the beers will be a part of the celebration.

Redlight’s house brewery has been working to expand for the occasion as well. Hernandez says, “We’ve been slowly reducing our bottle selection over the last few months and will be removing one of the shelves to install 4 tanks.” These will be for lagering, serving, and brite tanks, and should help with the anniversary merriment.

More information on Redlight Redlight’s anniversary can be found on their facebook page.

Redlight Redlight is located at 2810 Corrine Drive in the Winter Park area of Orlando.
