I timed my visit great, coinciding with the tapping of Escoffier, the first time available on draft at the brewery since this one-off was brewed as a collaboration with New Belgium during the previous year. I also tried the Bretta-Aged Contemplation and the Vivant’s new Bretta special release beer, the 1+ year aged La Flaneur, also available in 4-packs only at the brewery. I took advantage of the discount and brought some home with me! Friday also featured the tapping of a vintage 2011 Hubris Belgian Quadrupel. The celebration continued through Saturday and wound down on Sunday with a special performance from the Holiday Trombone Quintet (all Brewery Vivant Monk Club members).
Brewery Vivant’s 2014 Monk Club is also now open for enrollment. Benefits of Monk Club membership include a personalized Monk-style chalice, $1.00 off pours, and $2 off growler fills. Additionally, $2.00 off pours on Monk Club Tuesdays and additional $1.00 off growler fills on Wednesdays. Monk Club members also get first dibs on special tappings, seasonal release parties, and extra perks at ticketed events. Only a very limited number of openings are available and can be purchased for $60 a year at the brewery or online here:
