Smokehouse Brewing Company will host their 12th annual Mini Real Ale Festival on May 16 at their Grandview area brewpub.
The beer festival exclusively features cask ale, or “real” ale, which is unfiltered and unpasteurised beer served directly from the cask it is conditioned in, without added CO2.
Some of the breweries participating in this year’s event include Actual Brewing, Barley’s Brewing, Columbus Brewing, Elevator Brewery, Fat Head’s Brewing, Four String Brewing, Land Grant Brewing, North High Brewing, Seventh Son Brewing, Weasel Boy Brewing, Wolf’s Ridge Brewing and Zaftig Brewing. And Smokehouse, of course.
Part of the tradition of the event includes a whole smoked hog, from which patrons can purchase pulled pork sliders – about as freshly “pulled” as is possible.
Tickets to the event, which includes 12 tastings, a souvenir glass and souvenir program, are $35 and can be purchased online at http://smokehousebrewing.com or at Smokehouse’s brewpub, which is located at 1130 Dublin Road.
The Mini Real Ale Fest will take place Saturday, May 16 from 12-3pm.
