Bailey’s Taproom To Host BrettFest, Orval Day & Claim 52 Brewing Can Launch

Portland, Oregon – Continuing our 10 Year Anniversary celebration, Bailey’s Taproom presents BrettFest! Join us Saturday, March 18th from Noon to Midnight as we sample through our collection of beverages featuring a spectrum of “Brett” characteristics.

It’s no secret, we love Brettanomyces! The versatility of this yeast strain ranges from kicking off flavors of pineapple juice to barnyard funk. Brett has a voracious appetite and loves sugars, which can dry out a beer during it’s slow fermentation. It can also be added at conditioning to extend a beer’s shelf life. Brett is living on the skins of your favorite fruit and can even be found on the human body!

Some beverages will contain 100% Brett, others will feature Brett in secondary fermentation, and some may be mixed culture to examine how Brett interacts with fun bacteria like Lactobacillus & Pediococcus. Follow our event page and stay tuned for a full list of BrettFest beers! http://baileystaproom.com/brettfest
