NEW Black Adder IBA, NEW Hours and Valentines Day Gift Bag

Wooo-hooooo! We have a brand new beer coming out this Friday (Feb 4)! The Black Adder IBA (India Black Ale)! This black IPA is fully black in color, with a nutty, roasty malt character and a moderate body, with a full, bright hop bitterness and aroma. De-husked black malt provides color and roastiness without astringent sharpness, and dark Caramel and Special Roast also deepen the color while imparting mild sweetness with lots of toasty complexity and depth. Newport, Palisade, Glacier and Ahtanum hops create multiple layers of crisp, American character with no harsh edges. It is 7.3% ABV and has 85 IBUs. Please come down to the brewery and enjoy $2 pints of any of our beers THIS Friday, February 4th. We also plan to can a limited amount of this IBA for sale only at Buckbean, and it will be available mid to late February. Finally, fill up growlers for half off on Feb 5 for the Super Bowl.

We have NEW hours for our bar that should be more convenient for those getting off work, and unable to make it to Buckbean by 6 PM. The new hours are:
Tuesday from 3 PM to 6 PM
Wednesday to Friday from 3 PM to 8 PM
Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM
Also, during our extended hours 6 PM to 8 PM (Wed through Fri), you can get $3 pints, and if you need a snack, we have mini pizzas, potato chips and popcorn.

Lastly, Beer and Chocolate - a great combination! This Friday, February 4th through Valentines Day, you can get a Valentines Gift Bag for the one you love. Get six truffles, made here in Reno by Sweets Handmade Candies, three beers and a pint glass for only $20. Each beer is paired with two truffles that make a wonderful combination. Heck, you may just want to buy one of these for yourself.

Cheers, The Buckbean Brew Crew
