Beer lovers, raise a glass in celebration of Beerhead Bar & Eatery‘s inaugural Big Bad Beer Eve and Big Bad Beer Night events. The craft beer bar franchise, which includes Beerhead Bar & Eatery and The Beer Market locations, will be tapping highly-coveted barrel and rare beers from premier American craft beer breweries for a limited time.
These special events kick off with Big Bad Beer Eve, a private food and Big Bad Beer tasting. These events will feature a flight of three select barrel-aged beers, handpicked by the location in-house Beer Pro, and three small-plates: Avocado Caprese Bruschetta, Bourbon Street Meatballs, and Hardwood Smoked BLT. A Sugar & Cinnamon Ice Cream Shooter dessert will be served to finish. The selection will be presented the evening before Big Bad Beer Night and tickets will be sold in advance at $29 per person.
The main event – Big Bad Beer Night – will feature up to 16 barrel and rare beers on tap. Each location will be hosting a different barrel-aged beer list curated by local in-house Beer Pros and focused on local-area breweries. Individual locations will post specific Big Bad Beer lineups for its bar, including: Goose Island Proprietor Bourbon County Stout 2017, Revolution VSOD, Hoppin’ Frog Barrel Aged T.O.R.I.S., Against the Grain Bo & Luke and many more. No tickets are required for the tapping events and the beers will be served all day until they are gone.

“Last year we tried this kind of rare beer tapping at one location and it was wildly successful,” said Beerhead Partner Steve Burton. “The food pairings during Big Bad Beer Eve will elevate the experience at many of our locations. We’ve spent months creating each location’s Big Bad Beer list and can’t wait to present them to our guests.”
