Beer Me!

Beerfests, special tappings, networking, swap meets.  Here’s where you can say, “Beer me!” this week.

Thursday, October 23

• Martin City Brewing Company is having a Fundraising Event for Parker Adams tonight from 6pm until 8pm.  Parker Adams was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (stage four Neuroblastoma) so help support the Parker family and raise awareness for childhood cancer.  Join them at the brewery for pizza and beer.  They will be collecting donations at the door for dinner and drink tickets.

Friday, October 24

• Royals play at 7:07pm.  Several bars, breweries, and restaurants will have specials to celebrate the Royals.

Saturday, October 25

• Grain to Glass is holding a Homebrewing for Beginners class.  Beginning at 3pm attendees will learn the critical part of boiling, adding hops, chilling, sanitizing, and pitching yeast.  You will also learn how to bottle a 5 gallon batch of beer.  Each participant takes home beers for bottle conditioning at home.  $50 for 3 hour class, supplies, and a $10 discount on equipment purchase at the end of class.
• Rock & Run has their inaugural Rot and Ruin Dark Ale and Spirits Festival from 3pm until 10pm.  Some great breweries, meaderies, and distilleries will be serving their products until 8pm.  Screenland Armour will be bringing out their inflatable screen to show the Royals World Series Game 4.  $55 for VIP tickets, $40 for regular tickets, and $5 food vouchers.
• Big Rip Brewing Company hosts their second annual Ripper Halloween Party.  Tickets have been sold out for a few weeks and for good reason – it’s the best Halloween Party in Kansas City!  What better place to celebrate Halloween than in a place that celebrates it all year?  There will be an open bar including liquor, wine, and their brews.  They will be releasing their first ever Amber Ale that night.  Cafe Italia will be catering with a Macaroni and Cheese bar with bacon, pulled chicken, sauteed onions, and other goodies.  It’s a laid back atmosphere with games like Flip Cup, Beer Pong, and a Foosball table.  They will also have the Royals Game 4 playing on the TVs in their taproom.

Saturday seems to be the party day.  Luckily, each party will be showing Game 4 of the Royals.
