Flying Saucer's Second Annual Fall Beer Festival October 24, 2009

Flying Saucer Draught Emporium will host its second annual Fall Beer Festival on Saturday, Oct. 24 from noon to 10 p.m. at the City of Austin’s Triangle Park at 4700 North Lamar at the intersection of Guadalupe and Lamar.

Flying Saucer’s Fall Beer Festival will feature five beer tasting tents plus a full-pint tent, each with at least four brews chosen by Flying Saucer’s own resident beer guru, Keith Schlabs and Austin Flying Saucer general manager Ted Rowell. Featured beers will include rare special releases and cask-conditioned ales, including Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale and cask-conditioned North Coast Red Seal Ale in the West Coast tent and Avery Dugana IPA, cask-conditioned Breckenridge 471 IPA and Boulevard Smokestack Tank 7 in the UR Not Worthy tent.

The Captain’s Picks tent is scheduled to feature, among others, a brew made by Captain Keith at Sierra Nevada’s recent beer camp. The brew, called Sierra Nevada Edge of Darkness, will be offered in a very limited supply.
