Russian River Sighting?
I was informed via the Alström Bros’ twitter account that they were enjoying a Russian River Consecration on tap at Deep Ellum. Consecration is a 10% Wild ale that has a very deep, dark fruit malt characteristic. It’s rare that Russian River products make their way over to MA, and would recommend any serious beer geeks attempt to jump over and give it a try. I know I certainly will want to give it a shot.
UPDATE: I confirmed via phone that they did, in fact, have some on draft, but it’s been kicked.
Also, with Cantillon in town this weekend, the classic Belgian lambics/wild ales are flowing freely from most of Brookline/Allston’s beer bars. Publick house has St. Lamvinus on tap currently (unless it’s been cashed in the past 24 hours, which is possible) and has a wide selection available from their cellar. Deep Ellum also hosted a Cantillon event recently and is likely to have some rare offerings. Anyone interested should call or check the websites for updates.
