Belgian Beer Week

Did you know this week is Belgian Beer Week? Probably not since this is the 1st Annual event and we're pretty much the only ones in town celebrating.

Here's the lowdown. This week kicks off with the 7th annual North American Belgian Beer Fest (July 14-15) in Westland, MI and last year there were over 1,000 attendees, more than 220 Belgian beers from 80+ Belgian breweries, and this year’s event is expected to be even bigger.

So, that brings us to what we're doing. This year Artisanal Imports announced its sponsorship of the first annual National Belgian Beer Week (July 14-21), and we were excited to join in. We will be featuring flights of Belgian beers all week long and on Tuesday, 7/18 we will be giving away various Belgian glassware when we open at 5pm.

As of Monday our Belgian Flight looks like this, but it will most likely be changing once beers start kicking...

• St. Feuillion Grisette White
• Saison Dupont
• Monk's Cafe
• Petrus Aged Pale
• Petrus Sour Apricot
• St. Bernardus ABT 12

New English LAXIHAZICAL 10th Anniv IPA

LAXIHAZICAL IPA
New English 10th Anniv IPA
Collaboration with Automatic Brewing Co
Friday, 7/14, 6pm
Blind Lady Ale House was the first pub to get New English Beers when they began distributing. So when they asked Automatic Brewing to Collaborate on their 10yr Anniversary Beer, we were honored to be a part of it!
We got excited to brew a Hazy IPA, with lots of oats, and a ton of Nelson hops from New Zealand...and the result is delicious!
The haze is like a thick fog---it's opaque, without being a yeasty slurry. The Oats add a soft, creamy texture. The kettle hops give a clean, bracing bitterness, & the Dry-Hop addition brings a big tropical-fruit aroma and finish.
LAXIHAZICAL IPA debuted last Saturday at the New English Brewing tasting room for their 10yr Anniversary Party, and will be on tap this weekend at Blind Lady.
