WILK Friday BeerBuzz–13 May 2011 (Weyerbacher Sixteen)

Today our graphic is big because our show was big AND to remind you all about the big party TONIGHT!  Today we welcomed a very special guest into the studio to help us celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters Award Winning WILK Friday BeerBuzz..  In the studio today was our pal and Head Brewer for Weyerbacher Brewing, Chris Wilson.  Chris joined us last fall to sample Imperial Pumpkin Ale and the premier of Brewers Select Mike…so he was a perfect guest for our 1-Year Anniversary show.

Today we sampled the world premier of Weyerbacher’s new Sixteen anniversary brew.  We broke the news of Sixteen back in early April and it was a great anniversary gift to be the first people outside the brewery to sample this brew.  Sixteen is a dark braggot ale…an interesting mix of a honey-based mead and a darker malt so be sure to check this 10.5% ABV ale when you can.

It was also fun talking to Chris about something I’m very excited about…Project IPA.  Weyerbacher is brewing several different IPA’s in an attempt to find a beer worthy of replacing their long-time Hops Infusion.  Stay tuned as Weyerbacher makes each batch available for tasting and voting, ultimately ending in the choice of one favorite…and of course we’ll sample it on the Friday BeerBuzz.

Remember to come out tonight (May 13th) from 5-7PM @ Krugel’s Georgetown Deli, next to the Big Cow on Rt 309 in Wilkes-Barre Twp. to celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of the Friday BeerBuzz on WILK.  We’ll have Weyerbacher on hand with a sampling of their great brews and the entire WILK Friday BeerBuzz crew will be there to talk beer.  This event is open to all (must be 21 or older to sample beer) so be sure to bring a friend and stop by!

Facebook Event details can be found HERE and HERE!
