Why I'm going to the US next month

Another of my dreams is coming true. An historic Lager festival.

It's being held at Urban Chestnut in St. Louis on Sunday 22nd April at the Grove Brewery & Bierhall from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

I'm not 100% sure of the lineup yet, but it should include US, British and continental Lagers. I suspect that many will be surprised at the variety. There's much more to Lager than Pils.

If you're intrigued and want to learn more, many of the recipes are in my most recent book, Let's Brew!

Historic Lager Festival update

March 3rd at the Urban Chestnut in St. Louis. That's the basic information.

The full lineup of brewers and beers hasn't been finalised yet, but there are some very impressive names already committed. I can barely contain my excitement. Especially now I know there will be Kulmbacher, a beer I've wanted to try since I first learnt about it.

It's going to be the beer festival of the year. For me, at least. I'm pretty sure nothing like it has ever been staged before. Another dream that's coming true.

More details to come, as I get them.
