The brains were in! We had Guy down from Urbanaut Brewery to talk us through the core range, the Shimokita India Pale Lager, The Kingsland Pilsner, Brixton Pale Ale, Williamsburg IPA, and the Gastown Red IPA. Not only those, but we tried a few extra special seasonal brews, the La Alameda Citrus Sour Lager, and the Espresso Scotch ale. What a treat! The beers formed the structure for the evening as we tasted our way through the range one at a time, each beer eschewing a round of questions. Some easy, some... yeah not so much. The evening was loose and light hearted, many laughs and much scratching of heads. Just enough competitive spirit, with just enough joviality.
There were four groups, in the end the night was won by some sly and knowledgeable newcomers, who walked away with Urbanaut swag- T-shirts- and a brewery tour to look forward to. Keep an eye out for upcoming beer events like this, as always the more the merrier, but also keep your other eye out for all the exciting beers emerging from Urbanaut in the near future.
