Belgian Saison Showdown #1

September 9, 2010

Back in July John and JK went out to California for Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp. They brewed a Belgian Saison. Sierra Nevada also brewed a Belgian Saison using a different strain of yeast. The 2 beers were named Vice and Versa. Both have received rave reviews and now you can decide for yourself! We only have 4 kegs of each beer, so we will spread them out at special keg events over the next few months. The first 2 kegs will be tapped on Thursday, September 9th at 5 PM. The next 2 kegs will be tapped on Tuesday, September 21st at 5 PM. We will be giving away 2 sets of Red Sox tickets at each of the previous events for those who have not given up hope! On Tuesday Oct 19th at 5 PM we will tap the third set of kegs at a special Sierra Nevada night with Marty from Sierra and a few of their specialty beers they have brewed this year. The forth and final set of kegs will be tapped at our December Holiday Beer Tasting with Dan Shelton. The date for this event will be posted later. These beers will probably not be brewed ever again, so if you are into beer (you must be if you have read this whole message)...come down to ABC and try these wonderful Saison style brews!

Zayne Couch Explosion

September 18, 2010
ABC is proud to have ZCX (Zayne Couch Explosion) as another in a series of amazing Guitarists. The current incarnation of The Zayne Couch Explosion, came about when old friends, The Jeff and The Greg, were doing a Hendrix tribute show in Oct 09. It went off without a hitch with the 15 year old prodigy, The Zayne on guitar and vocals!. The trio teamed up a few weeks later to play a much more diverse and longer set for a food drive, again a great show for the three. After some more jamming the trio thought the band was a great fit and decided to come up with a name and start booking some gigs all over the area! Thus the Zayne Couch Explosion was born. With Zaynes unbelievable playing(a must see/hear) feel and energy and Jeff and Gregs over 20 years of road experience with many great bands the ZCX is a must see blues act!!!!!
