SUMMARY:Copperworks American Single Malt\, Single Cask No. 442 Release
DESCRIPTION:From September 22-29\, 2023\, Copperworks Distilling is celebrating Craft Malt Week! To commemorate the occasion\, they have a new special release: Copperworks American Single Malt Whiskey\, Single Cask No. 442 \nThis single cask was crafted from the Genie barley varietal grown in Reardan\, Washington\, by Coulee Hite Enterprises\, and malted less than an hour away in Spokane Valley\, Washington by LINC Malt\, a Craft Maltsters Guild member malthouse. The rest of the process (brewing\, fermentation\, distillation\, and maturation) took place in Seattle. This new American Oak cask matured for just over three years before being bottled at cask strength. 60.3% ABV. \nTasting notes: Tangerine\, damp pine forest\, custard and a familiar chewy lingonberry candy on the nose. Sweet orange\, matcha\, vanilla\, oak\, butter mints\, and bubblegum are harmonious on the palate. The finish is long and sweet with the butter mints fading into wintergreen and rounding out with a touch of grass and red berry jam on toast.

SUMMARY:Near Beer\, A Celebration of Place
DESCRIPTION:The Farm to Table movement is alive and well in the beverage industry as breweries with hyper-local ethos are popping up around the country. This event is a celebration of some of those breweries who are inspired by place. \nCome taste those places at Near Beer at Harding House Brewing Company in The Nations neighborhood of West Nashville during the Craft Brewers Conference on Tuesday\, May 9 from 5 to 10 PM Central Time. The breweries pouring include Scratch Brewing Company from Ava\, Illinois\, Fonta Flora Brewing from Nebo\, North Carolina\, Fullsteam Brewery from Durham\, North Carolina\, and Free Range Brewing from Charlotte\, North Carolina. Most of the breweries participating are Craft Malt Certified™\, some of them grow their own ingredients\, and all of them engage with nearby farms to source their recipes. \n“Our unofficial industry tagline is buy local\, but craft breweries don’t always do that themselves\,” says the Co-Founder of Harding House Nate Underwood\, who spearheaded Near Beer. “We wanted to celebrate and hang out with those breweries who walk the walk. Purchasing local agricultural ingredients isn’t always easy or inexpensive\, so we’ve got to stick together. Using local malt\, hops\, and ingredients is what makes craft beer fun\, flavorful\, and diverse.” \nNear Beer is open to the public\, and CBC ticket holders will receive beer discounts. \nMedia interested in credentials for this event can contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com.

SUMMARY:Southern Lager Invitational
DESCRIPTION:Bootleg Biology\, Harding House Brewing Co.\, and Riverbend Malt House have engaged the South’s leading tastemakers to craft their expressions of ‘Modern Southern Lager’ to kickoff the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) on Sunday\, May 7 at Harding House Brewing Company in The Nations neighborhood of West Nashville. \nSo what is a Modern Southern Lager? Open to interpretation\, this unofficial beer style tends to be a dry-finishing\, lower-ABV beer with a big frothy head and a hint of corn sweetness that is counterbalanced by relatively assertive hop bitterness. It pairs well with sweltering heat. \nHarding House\, a Craft Malt Certified™ brewery\, and several other craft breweries in the South are currently fermenting lagers made with Riverbend malt and unique yeast strains from Bootleg Biology— including ARL: The Southern Lager Yeast— to serve at this innovative beer showcase. \nThe Southern Lager Invitational will take place on Sunday\, May 7 at Harding House Brewing Co. from 7 to 10 pm Central Time. All CBC participants get free entry with proof of conference participation. This inaugural event is made possible by sponsors Boelter\, who are providing custom glassware for all participants\, and Dynamark. Bad Luck Burger Club will be slinging their famous smash burgers. Frothy Monkey Bakery will bring breads to taste made from spent Southern Lager grain.
