<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman"></font> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Big Horn Brewing will be releasing one of our favorite seasonal brews next week. The Märzen or Oktoberfestbier as it’s also known will be released on the 15th of September, 2009. The Oktoberfest festival originated as a wedding party for the Ludwig, the crown prince of Bavaria and his bride Therese of Saxony-Hildbrughausen, in 1810. The fest has since become a classic fall event in Bavaria and elsewhere around the world. The Biers brewed and consumed in Munich today are closer to a Helles-style (golden lager) then what we consider a Märzen here in north America. They are referred to as "Fest Märzen", "Oktoberfestbier" or just "Fest Bier" (being a bit stronger and richer than a normal Munich-style Helles), We here at Potts are fans of traditional Marzen style. Märzens are medium-full bodied amber lagers with rich toasted malt character, hints of bread, a suggestion of caramel and a touch of floral noble hop essence. They finish smooth and balanced with an alcohol content in the mid to high 5s. Our version was lovingly crafted by two Americans of Irish-Italian decent and features Malt from Cologne & Bamberg, Bavarian Hallertau Hops and a special yeast strain from a heralded Bavarian monastery south west of Munich. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">We will have a special tasting event for Mug Club members and their friends on Saturday the 19th. From 5:00 to 6:00 pm in the CB Potts', Ram Room (Upstairs, Fort Collins). The event is complementary for mug club members and $5.00 for FOMCM (friends of mug club members). We have an UFC fight that same night, thus the limited time slot. Please feel free to just drop buy for just a taste or to stay the whole hour, if you've never come to a sampling then I encourage you to give it a try, the more the merrier. If you want something to nibble on we will be featuring our wonderful beer infused menu items off of our Skinny menu (though, you are more than welcome to order any off of the regular menu as well). We will have complementaryAmber ale cheese dip, flat bread and chips to boot. </span></p>
