Upcoming Craft Beer Events

Main Tap Tavern is bringing you another food / beer pairing! We teamed up with AleSmith Brewery for the event. We are going to be serving a three course meal for the event with five different beers brewed by AleSmith to go along with it. The menu is as follows:

For starters will be serving their Anvil, which is an English Style Bitter, with a Venissimo Cheese & bread freshly baked by Sadie Rose Baking Company. As well, we will be serving a salad served with fresh greens topped with fresh cone Columbus Hopped vinaigrette paired with the India Pale Ale!

For the Main course we’ll be serving Brisket Braised in Nut Brown w/ Nut Brown Mushroom Gravy, accompanied with Garlic Stir-Fried Brussels sprouts cooked in AleSmith X. You will enjoy both of these brews while enjoying the main course.

For the final long awaited dish, the final course of the meal….dessert! Decadence 2011 on Cask will be served with a Crème Brew-Lay!

Tickets for the event are very limited and are $32 each. Buy your ticket online at Ticketderby.com or at maintaptavern.com! Come in and buy it from one of our bartenders for only $30.

Resinous hop characteristics emerge from an enormous hopping with Columbus, Nugget and Amarillo overtaking the rich caramel malt base. To add luscious hop flavors and enticingly floral hop aromas, they dry-hop the brew with bucket loads of Amarillo hops. Welcome to the world of Red IPA. Cask conditioned release of Green Flash Hop Head Red on May 30th at 3pm!

"Tap That cASSk" featuring Stone Brewing Co.'s
Cask Conditioned PALE ALE with Sorachi Ace
ABV 5.4%

"Our flagship ale, Stone Pale Ale is our Southern California interpretation of the classic British pale ale style. Deep amber in color, Stone Pale Ale is robust and full flavored. A delicate hop aroma is complemented by a rich maltiness. This is an ale for those who have learned to appreciate distinctive flavor. Stone Pale Ale is great by itself, or with food that requires a beer of character. "

Beneath the tides off Mission Beach rests Wreck Alley – a dark and mysterious seascape of forgotten ships. Amidst the rusted wreckage is a marine ecosystem, an artificial reef teeming with life. Karl Strauss Wreck Alley is as dark as the depths of its namesake, an Imperial Stout of uncharted complexity. Brewed with darkly kilned malts, cocoa nibs, and Ethiopian coffee beans, Wreck Alley boasts rich layers of dark chocolate, toffee, and espresso-like roast. Enjoy a cask conditioned version of Karl Strauss Wreck Alley at the Main Tap Tavern on Thursday, June 7th at 5pm for our Blackout Thursday $3.50 release special!

"Tap That cASSk" featuring Mission Brewing Company's
Cask Conditioned Amber Ale
ABV 5.0%

" A covenant of light and dark, of refreshing and full-flavored, making for one majestic session beer. With a crisp lager-like spirit and a toasty character, the bitterness is bolstered yet balanced. The lingering sweet caramel taste is buttressed by the generous use of Munich, Vienna and Pilsner malts.”
