Von Ebert + Grand Fir Brewing host BBQ for the release of ‘Sacred Stone’ experimental lager
Von Ebert Brewing, Grand Fir Brewing teamed up on an American Lager and celebrate with a collaboration BBQ together on May 30.
Grand Fir Brewing and Von Ebert Brewing have collaborated on an American Lager, but this isn’t your normal light crackery lawnmower beer because ‘Sacred Stone’ weaves in elements from New Zealand and Japan. Your first chance to try it and pick up cans of Sacred Stone is Thursday, May 28th, but on Saturday, May 30th, Von Ebert Brewing is hosting Grand Fir and The Bitter Root Club owner/chef Doug Adams for a cookout Collab with BBQ truck HarBQ for the official release party.
“This isn’t our first collaboration with Grand Fir Brewing, but it’s definitely our most exciting! Coming off a couple of big American Light Lager medal wins, we wanted to find a partner this year to push the boundaries on what that style can be,” said Sam Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “Grand Fir is known for wielding a hammer and a feather interchangeably, so Whitney Burnside and her crew came to mind right away. Whitney and I both had beers recently with a New Zealand hop that screamed, ‘put me in something light and delicate,’ and thought Kohatu would be the perfect complement to some jasmine rice, our little evolution of the American Lager style we all know and love.”
Sacred Stone American Lager is 4% ABV with notes of pineapple, lime and water cracker malt. This collaboration lager will be available at all Von Ebert Brewing locations in draft and 16 oz cans, as well as in some Northwest retailers, restaurants and bars while it lasts.
Von Ebert N. Mississippi location critically acclaimed weekend food truck, HarBQ has teamed up with Chef Doug Adams of Bitterroot and Grand Fir Brewing on Saturday, May 30, with a special menu of barbeque and grilled items in the parking lot and adjacent beer garden.
