CHAPMAN'S TAP ROOM OPENS

Chapman's Tap Room

to Open!

December 13th, 3-10pm at the Brewery

After nearly 3 months of planning and work, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our tap room at the Brewery.

With the best view in the area, seating for 30+, live music and entertainment, we hope you will join us for a great evening. We will have excellent food for sale, live music, and door prizes all evening.

The tap room will have regular hours of operation and will have food delivery service from several local restaurants.

We will also tap Roulette #3 - A fantastic Baltic Porter - Rich malty sweetness containing caramel, toffee, nutty to deep toast, and licorice notes. Complex alcohol and ester profile of moderate strength, and reminiscent of plums, prunes, raisins, cherries and currants. A darker malt character that is deep chocolate, coffee or molasses and very smooth.

Join us December 13th!

CHAPMAN'S LAUNCHES IMPERIAL STOUT

Chapman's Brewing Co. launches their latest new brew "Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout". I have sampled this. It's a very rich, deep black, with intense flavors of malt. This is a huge beer brewed with roasted barley, chocolate malt and polished off with East Kent Golding hops. To highlight the uniqueness of this beer we used oatmeal and flaked barley. This beer is best enjoyed in snifter at 45 degrees. It's smooth and full flavored, with a warming body and rich aroma of caramel, brandy, and cream. ABV: 9.2% -- IBU: 52

I have seen the prototype can, very cool sleeve, and will post pictures here when I have one.

Sun King/ New Menu/ New Cans

 Most bar menus boast a reliable burger, plate of wings, and, if they're claiming to be "a pub", fish and chips. But not Sun King. When the Indiana brewery was forced to add food options to their taproom menu, they went with strictly microwave-to-table fare, including my favorite, "Hot Pockets. Sun King had previously only offered growler fills and tastings in its taproom, which meant it could skirt Indiana's state law that says "premises where alcoholic beverages are consumed by the 'drink' are required to have food service available". As of Monday, though, they're selling beer flights and pints. The staff decided to have a little fun with their required food service, adding just four options: Hot Pockets @ $15.00, Soup-flavored Soup, Coffee, and Rehydrated Condensed Milk. Discerning diners have a choice of ham & cheese or pepperoni pizza Hot Pockets, but the soup options are a little more mysterious -- Sun King merely describes the flavors as "the essence of moisture along with some other stuff". If you're unwilling to take your chances on soup-soup, you can still grab snacks from the food trucks Sun King will have on Wednesdays and Thursdays, or order something from a nearby restaurant (Sun King has a stock of menus on hand). Indiana might want to reconsider its law, though -- at this rate, it's only a matter of time before some bar offers $15 SpaghettiOs. Unheated.
