Aside from great food (and even better beer), American Brewing Company’s Head Brew Master (and hockey goalie) Skip Madsen will suit up for a lively game of “Score the Skipper.” His confidence in his hockey skills has lead to his claims that no one can score against him. For a small fee, challengers can take three shots to try to prove him wrong.
In other Beer Week news, American Brewing Company’s ales have been chosen by Tom Douglas’ newest alehouse, Brave Horse Tavern, for part of the “Keggs and Eggs” brunch that was held Sunday, May 21.
“This week also is our three-month milestone of being open for business,” Anderson said. “We've started to gain a loyal fan base of customers who've been instrumental in spreading the word about us and our beer. We've just been approved to open a beer garden behind our tasting room as well--just in time for the good weather!”
