P.O.S.T. #1 - Hello!
Welcome to the inaugural "Post from the Old Street Tavern"! A weekly (no more often than that) missive, in which you will find details of our beer line-up, up-coming gigs, and the all-important Rupert's Password (read on to get the skinny on this).
GUEST BEERS
CASK
As usual the house beers are locals HPA, a smooth real ale at 4%, and Butty Bach, a premium ale at 4.5% - both from Wye Valley Brewery. Joining them are:
Sarah Hughes's Surprise from Sarah Hughes Brewery in Sedgley. A classic Black Country beer , it was originally called Surprise because they had no idea what gravity it was going to be. It's now settled at 5%, and is sure to go faster than a fat man to a cake shop.
Pricky Back Otchan from Great Newsome Brewery in North Yorkshire. A robust, smooth golden ale at 4.2%, with citrus notes on the malt, and using British, German and American hops, it encourages us to drink to future hedgehogs!
KEG
Kennedy Lives is a hazy IPA from from New Bristol Brewery, and comes in at 5.7%. It has definite citrus notes, and a fluffy mouthfeel.
LIVE MUSIC
This week we are delighted to announce that, fresh from winning Best International Duo at the ISSAs, Debra Susan & Ritchie Dave Porter will be playing L.O.S.T. , bringing their original songs of Southern rock and blues.
You can check their stuff out at Ritchie's website, where they have several tracks up, and we're looking forward to welcoming them in and getting rocked!
RUPERTS SAVE DURING THE WEEK
Between opening on Sunday to 6pm on Thursday afternoon we offer a discount to Ruperts - those good sorts (or at least subscribers to this newsletter) who support us, as follows:
- Upsize a glass of wine
- Upsize a measure from a single to a double
- 50 pence of a pint of beer, or bottled alcoholic beverage
This week's word is "Sesquipedalian". You might be tested.
Until next time, take it easy!
Everyone at the Old Street Tavern
