May 2009

Hi All,
Our meeting for May takes place on Saturday, May 2, at the Wyatts' about 3 miles north of Poulsbo. I'm assuming they'll let us set up for brewing as early as 9AM since the international Big Toast takes place at 10AM. We'll let you know if otherwise in our reminder mailing next week.

Don will be firing up the grill(s) so bring whatever you'd like to grill, snacks, and easy to serve potluck dishes.

This is also Big Brew 2009, see details below. If you're interested in checking out fellow brewers' systems, techniques, and ingredients, or if you just want to hang with fellow brewers, or if you just can't get enough of the smell of boiling hops and malt, don't miss this event.

Since our meeting is so early in May we're considering arranging a Seattle and/or Tacoma area pub crawl(s) later in May, perhaps in association with some Seattle Beer Week events. Come to Big Brew and express your interests.

2009 Big Brew Recipes
This year's Big Brew recipes are the tale of two AHA members whose homebrew recipes have gone on to be brewed by craft breweries.

Dave Levonian's award-winning Saison recipes have been brewed by Ballast Point Brewery for the 2008 Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am Competition, and by the Lost Abbey Brewery as one of the commemorative beers for the 2009 National Homebrewers Conference this June in Oakland, CA.

Jim Denier is an award-winning homebrewer who brought his Dark Mild recipe with him when he started brewing at Dry Dock Brewing Co. in Aurora, CO. The SS Minnow Mild Ale is a favorite at the brewery, and was a favorite with the 2008 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) judges too; it was the silver medal beer in the Session Beer category!

We hope you enjoy brewing this year’s Big Brew recipes! If you have any left, bring it with you to the National Homebrewers Conference in Oakland, CA this June to share!

NOTE: These are FULL-SIZE kegs!
Can't make it Tuesday? You should be able to come later in the week as well as still get the goods.

Sooooo, just how good is The Dissident?

Well one way to tell would be to try it right next to a couple other sour masterpieces of the 10% ilk. That's why we will also be tapping these:

RUSSIAN RIVER CONSECRATION
CASCADE BREWERY'S VLAD THE IMPALER

Care for a little beer-cheese pairing to go with that?

Thanks to our good friend "Franky Cheese", we will be offering a selection of complimentary Über-gourmet cheeses from all over the world, expertly picked & paired with the beers by the Cheese Monger himself. Cured Italian salami & crackers complete the package.

Maybe the best part? PRICES! (all in effect until they are gone!)

See you under the bar,

A Night of Rarities with Cascade Brewery

amoum2300@yahoo.com
UBER TAVERN - KEGS TO GO
After our monstrous kick-off the night before, we gotta come big to follow that up, right? Well then:

ON WEDNESDAY MAY 13 AT ÜBER TAVERN, PLEASE JOIN US FOR:

AN EVENING WITH BREW MASTER RON GANSBERG AND CASCADE BREWERY

To say this will be a night of rarities is an understatement. This will be Ron's first-ever visit to Über, and he's pulling out all the stops.

If you've ever visited him at the Raccoon Lodge in Portland, you know what we're talking about. Arguably one of America's foremost brewers & blenders of barrel-aged sour ales, almost everything you taste at his brewery is incredibly rare and amazingly good. Whatever it is, you've probably never had it before and you'll be lucky to have it again one day.

The reason we bring this up is because some of the beers we will be featuring on this night will be the first time they've been outside the brewery, so we can only tell you so much about them. Plus we hear he carries a "bag of tricks" so who knows what he will open up to taste? And we hear he travels with a band of psychos.

But here's what we DO know:
ON TAP:
CASCADE SANG ROYAL:
A big blend of single and "double reds" aged in wet Port barrels, blended with a barrel containing 110 lbs of Bing Cherries for six months. So rare, we believe the only people who have tasted it are Jesus, Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa. There is 1 rating for it on ratebeer.com but we're pretty sure it's a hoax.

CASCADE SANG NOIR:
A single very small batch of beer made exclusively for the Holiday Ale Festival in Portland, this is a 9.5% sour "Double Red", portions of which were aged in both Pinot Noir & Whiskey barrels, with fresh Bing Blood Cherries added later to yet another portion, then refermented for 3 months before final blending. This one-time beer was blended by "Drie Zwarte Pieten", the 3 Black Peters: Ron Gansberg, assistant head brewer Curtis Bain, and "Mr. Holiday Ale Fest", Preston Weesner. This beer is damn near flawless.

CASCADE VLAD THE IMPALER
A 9.5% wild-yeast blended beer, consisting of Ron's Belgian Strong Blonde and a beer he calls P-Quad (for Pale Quadruppel). Together they make Vlad, a beer that we would have on tap at our bar until the doors close for good one day...if we could only get it. This is simply a masterpiece and a great introduction to full-bodied, sophisticated traditional sour ales.

CASCADE MOUTON ROUGE
This is Ron's classic (and authentic) 7.5% Flanders Red. It is a blend of barrels with up to 16 months of oak barrel lactic fermentation and oak barrel aging. Dark fruit, sour, oak and funk flavors sweep over your taste buds like an incoming tide.

Then there's the ubiquitous bag of tricks we might roll out, one bottle at a time.

Chances are good we will STILL have both Russian River Consecration & Deschutes The Dissident on tap also, if you'd like to try them all side-by-side.

And you better believe we'll have another complimentary cheese & salami pairing to go with these beers. How could you not?

Doors open at 4pm, all beers on tap when we open.

We don't have prices yet but we will be featuring all of our Cascade beers on special for this night only. Details to come on our website.

As for Ron? He comes when he comes and he goes when he goes. 6pm is a good guess though.

See you under the bar,

Your Friends at Über Tavern

PS: 2 down, 1 to go

Last year on 4/20 was one of the greatest nights at Über:
"Smoke em if ya got em: An Evening With Lagunitas"

When Lagunitas Brewery owner Tony Magee showed up at our tavern last spring, little did we know he was a baddass bluegrass musician. But he played. Man did he play. So when we heard he'll be back in town this May, how could we resist?

Sure we're off a by a few weeks this year, but please join us on Thursday May 14th for:

LAGUNITAS NIGHT AT ÜBER TAVERN, FEATURING THE MUSIC OF TONY MAGEE

ON TAP:
All pints just $3, KEEP THE GLASS, all night

Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Lagunitas Pils
Lagunitas Vintage 2008 Olde Gnarly Wine

You read that right, $3 pints of vintage Olde Gnarly Wine & Hop Stoopid. It's not that we want you to get drunk. We're just saying here's some proof that really good beers & really good times don't have to be expensive. So kick back, have a couple, relax, and save some dough while you live like a king, listening to Tony play. Maybe have a nice crisp Pils while you're at it.

BOTTLES:
$6 for any 22oz Lagunitas bottles, all night

Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale
Hop Stoopid
Maximus

And maybe we'll find a couple of other gems to pull out too.
Doors open at 4pm, all beers on tap when we open. Tony starts playing at 6pm.

Oh, and free snacks are also a good bet. Come loosen up & have some fun.

See you under the bar,

Your Friends at Über Tavern

PS:
If you make it through these 3 consecutive nights at our bar, please consider rehab over the weekend.

BEER POETRY
TOMMY by Rudyard Kipling

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!

Alan Jackson
Chattahoochee

Well way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a Friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute

Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love

Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy
I was willin' but she wasn't ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape Sno-Cone
Dropped her off early but I didn't go home

Down by the river on a Friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute

Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin' and a little bout love

Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love

02 Acoustic Brew - Bubbles
Acoustic Brew
Bubbles

Sometimes comes a moment when it all comes bubblin' out
bubbles from the future and bubbles from the past
bubbles full of happiness bubbles that are sad
bubbles full of things that we should not have done
bubbles full of sadness bubbles full of tears
bubbles full of memories for each and every year
but the bubbles that bring me happiness
are the bubbles
in my beer.

There sometimes comes a moment when it all comes bubblin' out
bubbles from the future and bubbles from the past
bubbles full of happiness bubbles that are sad
bubbles full of things that we should not have done
bubbles full of sadness bubbles full of tears
bubbles full of memories for each and every year
but the bubbles that bring me happiness
are the bubbles
in my beer.
Happiness is bubbles in my beer, in my beer.

03 Billie Holiday - Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer
Billie Holiday
Gimmie a Pigfoot (and a Bottle of Beer)
written by Wesley 'Sox' Wilson

Up in Harlem every Saturday night
Where the highbrows get together
It's just too right
They all congregate and all night hop
And what they do is ooh boppa dop
Ol' Hannah Brown from way across town
Gets full of corn and starts
Bringing them down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me a gate I don't care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm, yeah, when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cause I don't care

I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy move right in
I feel just like I wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the hucklebuckle to the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me, 'cause I'm in my sin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

04 Kinks - Sunny Afternoon
Kinks
Sunny Afternoon

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat momma tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Life this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Life this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime
In the summertime

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Life this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

05 The Marshall Tucker Band - Last Of The Singing Cowboys (Live)
The Marshall Tucker Band
Last Of The Singing Cowboys

In the corner of dark barroom
Sat an ole' cowboy singin' Western tunes
Singin' songs he learned as a child
All about the West back when it was wild

He said he came from down Texas way
The cowboys were tough
The women the same way
Said he was a star back in '31
and Hollywood had liked him for some
songs that he had done

He's the last of the singin' cowboys
Singin' songs of inspiration and joy
Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Yi Ay, Yippie Yi Ay

He took a break, just to chug down a beer
C'mon folks holler out the songs you'd like to hear
If you find some one, I know a million tunes
I'm not up here singin' for me
This is all done for you

And then he bragged on the Stetson hat that he wore
Said it was the finest made since the war
And he won the silver buckle ridin' on a cow
And as he laughed he said
I'll bet you're wonderin' how?

'Cause I'm the last of the singin' cowboys
Singin' songs of inspiration and joy
Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Yi Ay, Yippie Yi Ay

And after three hours or maybe more
A lady grabbed his arm
and showed him to the door
The bartender said, "He's blind, you see
Don't tell him the only audience he
had was you and me."

'Cause he's the last of the singin' cowboys
Singin songs of inspiration and joy
Yippie Yi Yo, Yippie Yi Ay, Yippie Yi Ay,
Yippie Yi Ay, Yippie Yi Ay, Yippie Yi Aaaaaay.

06 Alice Stuart - Seven Beers With the Wrong Woman
Alice Stuart
Seven Beers With the Wrong Woman

D G D Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman A We sat at a table for two The first thing I knew, she whispered D "Oh, boy, I could sure go for you." G D My heart beat a little bit quicker D7 G As I held her sweet little hand D I swelled up with pride, but oh, how she lied A D I sure was a foolish young man.

Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman
She made me get up and dance
Around and around we circled
'Til I missed the money from my pants
I asked her if she had seen it
She smiled up at me and said, "No!"
To this day to me, it's a big mystery
I wonder just where did it go.

Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman
Her husband walked in after that
Soon as he spied us together
He walked up and gimme a bat
He took me by the seat of my britches
Boy he sure jerked up the slack
And then I got tossed, out the door, by the boss
Who told me to never come back.

Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman
It's left me only regret
I guess she was only a-foolin'
When she called me her darling and pet
Oh! I wish that the Lord had made Adam
And never made anyone else
There's one thing I know, the next place I go
I'm gonna buy fourteen beers for myself.
