Mikkeller Hop-topia tasting event / Monday 10th October
6.30pm until 9.30pm (doors at 6pm)
SOLD OUT
/ Event info
Mikkeller has brewed 19 different single hop IPA’s. Every beer is brewed with the same yeast and malt, the same brewing process and same amount of hops. The only difference is the 19 different hop sorts.
The result is 19 very different beers with theoretical IBU’s ranging from 38 to 114. All 19 beers are really fresh and have been bottled and barrelled at de Proef in Belgium. In addition, this single hop series is part of a scientific project, studying how hops evolve over time, how the choice of container affects the taste as well as other parameters. The event will encourage an open discussion within the small groups about the beers.
Monday 10th October we will give you the chance to taste the FULL range of beers at Port Street Beer House.
The hops used are : Bravo, Cascade, Centennial, Cluster, Columbus, Galena, Mt. Hood, Nugget, Super Galena, Tettnanger, Willamette, Citra, Palisade, Simcoe, Warrior, Challenger, Magnum, Amarillo, Sorachi Ace.
* tasting all 19 Mikkeller beers – limited to 25 places
* this will be dived into 5 groups of 5 people and take place in the saloon

– PSBH Scottish Beer Festival 2011
“O ye’ll tak’ the high road, and Ah’ll tak’ the low (road) And Ah’ll be in Scotlan’ afore ye”… Hang on a minute there’s absolutely no need for that, because starting this week Port Street Beer House will be saturated with beers made by our friends north of the border. Beginning 6th September and possibly the following week as well (yes that’s right we do get a little carried away picking beer for you guys when its this good!) we intend to showcase a selection of the finest beers from the best craft brewers in Scotland. There will be a range of cask, draft and bottled beers of various different styles to choose from, so no matter what your preference this should be a week to suit everyone’s taste. The breweries that will be involved are Black Isle, Brew Dog, Fyne, Harviestoun and Highland and just to give you an idea of why their beers are so good here is a bit of background information on each brewery.

– Dusseldorf / Altbier / Veltins – Port Street on tour.
Not wanting to rub it in but, we just had a little jaunt over to Dusseldorf courtesy of Veltins. Which combined a couple of nights out making the most of Dusseldorf’s famous Altbier brewpubs, a visit to Veltins’ brewery, some ace meals all topped off with some Killepitsch, the cities favourite digestif (think a nicer version of Jagermeister). Anyway if you ever get a chance I can heartily recommend a trip, it’s a really nice, clean, vibrant city with the Altbier pubs providing a unique touch to the whole experience. (more…)
