WILK Friday BeerBuzz–Brian Boak- Boaks Beer Monster Mash & Two Blind Monks (4 Feb 2011)

2/04/2011 09:35:00 AM ,
WILKFridayBeerbuzz4Today we welcomed our special guest Brian Boak, brew-master and founder of Boaks Beer in Pompton Lakes, NJ on to the Friday BeerBuzz.  Brian was in town to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of Boaks Beer and he was nice enough to bring along some of his special brews for the Friday BeerBuzz team to help him sample.

imageI’ve been a really big fan of Boaks beers for a few years now, and I still remember when we first received Brian’s Monster Mash Russian Imperial Stout as part of a beer-club event.  This is a rich, dark and Chocolaty Imperial Stout with just the right touch of coffee-like backbone….and while the 10% ABV may sneak up on you, there’s no mistaking the 100 IBU.

As an added bonus, Brian Boak will be holding a Meet-The-Brewer night tonight (Feb 4th) from 5-7PM @ Krugel’s Georgetown Deli & Beer on Rt 309 in Wilkes-Barre Twp by the big cow.  I’ll be on hand to help Brian hand out samples so be sure to stop by and say hi and sample some of Brian’s beers.

AND even more Friday BeerBuzz extra content…be sure to tune into the video of today’s show as Karel filmed the exclusive sampling of Iced Monster Mash (eis), and Wooden Beanie barrel-aged dubbel with Madagascar vanilla) special brews from Brian!

Thanks
to  Brian, John, Nancy, & Bosco for yet another fun Friday. 
The Friday Beerbuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.

    I was expecting some lame super-bowl beer show. Instead you bring in a great brewer (actually in the studio) and feature several great beers. Boaks is one of my favorites so it was amazing to hear Brian on the air. Thank you WILK!

    I'm a regular of the show. I tune in because I love beer and local craft beer. Just about every week now you surprise ME! and I'm a seasoned beer lover. Brian Boak is a great brewer and as amazing as the Friday Beer buzz has been, even I'm amazed at this great guest choice.

    The Friday beer buzz show is by far the best. I tune into anything beer locally, radio, web, FaceBook, anything I can get. Your radio show has no competition, and even including huge national sites, mybeerbuzz.com is the best! Thank you all. I know you all do it for free and we do really appreciate what you do.
