Night of the Imperials - Wednesday, 7 March

It's back! Blind Tiger's Night of the Imperials event. It was on hiatus for a year or so to give your livers a chance to recover but they decided that it was time to challenge you again.

When: Wednesday, 7 March, 3pm onwards
Where:  Blind Tiger Ale House, 281 Bleecker St.
What:  pay-as-you-go

You can find the full beer list here:  http://www.facebook.com/events/383671154994808/ but what we'd like you to know is that of the 3 imported beers, 2 of the imperials are from the Shelton Brother's kingdom. While we often espouse lower abv beers that don't knock you upside the head, or off your bar stool, that's not to say that we can't appreciate a big beer. The name of the game is Balance, my friends. Give us a complex brew with a range of supporting characters that evolve in the glass instead of a snifter of fusel alcohol or a pint of hop juice and we'll camp out on that bar stool.

Come on by the Blind Tiger and try the multi-country Mikkeller/Three Floyds collaboration, Boogoop, a buckwheat wine, conceived in the US and Denmark and brewed in Belgium, or Xbeeriment Black Force One, a Danish smoked imperial stout.
