Michael Roper

Michael Roper Tonight ( December 22 ) we tapped the latest offering from Brooklyn Brewery's Brewmaster's Reserve Series. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver went to the rural English village of Great Ryburgh where Crisp Maltings, one of the last traditional malters in the UK is located. He malted 19 tons of heirloom Maris Otter Barley the ol...d fashioned way, raking and plowing on the 150 year old stone floor by hand. After roasting in the kiln, he shipped it and some Fuggles hops to Brooklyn and brewed up "Backbreaker" a truly old school English Bitter. A bit stronger than most at 7% and a wee bit pricey at $8.50 a pint, it is a time machine beer. Pricey, because it's not cheap to ship 19 tons of malt! It has a subtle malt flavor balanced gently with the Fuggles. Very limited.

It's probably good that I don't live down the street from the Hopleaf now that there's Facebook. If I did, this sort of update would have me regularly running out the door!

Hopleaf 7 course dinner by Chef Ben Sheagren. $75 per person. Seating is limited; must reserve by emailing louise@hopleaf.com

Tomme Arthur's unique approach and creativity, along with his enthusiasm, helped produce a thriving beer scene in San Diego. Tomme brought a love for Belgian beer to the Port family of brew pubs and crea...ted their first Belgian style ale, Overhead Abbey Dubbel in 1997. That one Belgian style brew has since become an entire family of beers called The Lost Abbey. Tomme Arthur is certainly one of the most cutting edge brewers in the United States, and he continues to play a major role in the growth, education, and creativity of the American Craft Brewing scene. Outside of his multiple medals at World Beer Cup, Chicago Real Ale Festival, and the Great American Beer Festival, Tomme has brought a new passion to the rustic, old world traditions of Belgian brewing by creating new beers with a fresh new vision of what beer can be. The canvas for his artwork is imbued with oak, fruit, spices, wild yeast strains, and time.
