Detroit Beer Week/Detroit Beer Fest

It's an exciting time for beer drinkers - it's Detroit Beer Week. From October 13-23, breweries in the area will have special events and dinners. One of tonight's events is the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Beer Dinner at Slows BBQ. Beginning at 7pm, in Slows new private dining room, diners will have access to a special menu paired with Dogfish Head beers. Tickets are $50 per person, reservations must be made in advance. For more information or to access other Beer Week events, visit: http://www.detbeerweek.com/.

Saturday, October 22 is the Detroit Beer Festival at Eastern Market from 1-6pm. Tickets are $35 in advance, and are already sold out online. Traditionally this festival completely sells out, so don't wait until the day of and hope to purchase them at the gate. Some breweries may still have tickets, I recommend contacting them before you make the trip out. I anticipate the Michigan Brewers Guild will update the list of available beers throughout the week, the current list (as well the list of breweries with tickets) can be found on their blog, The Mash: http://www.mbgmash.org/. Be sure to pay attention to the special and limited beer releases, even though some are available at certain times typically when they run out you're SOL.

I hope to see everyone out this week, or at Eastern Market on Saturday!
