\"wineification\"<\/a>So I got invited to this special event last night hosted by a third generation CEO of a hundred year old company that was put on by the USC Marshalls Family Business Program<\/a> to guide folks on the trials and tribulations of running a family business.\u00a0 My girls are just about to turn seven so I may be jumping the gun a bit here, but I figured there could be some good stuff for me to think about and indeed there was.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what I want to write about today.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m heading out to a pretty amazing home overlooking Cameo Cove in Laguna Beach thinking I should bring the hosts a bottle of wine or something.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never met either of them.\u00a0 Have no idea if they like wine or if they drink at all, but then I get to thinking, everybody brings wine and I\u2019ve got a lot of really good beers to share so why not bring something cool from a local brewery thinking they more than likely will never have heard of them, but if they like it, they can get more.\u00a0 Well I\u2019m lucky enough that The Bruery is one of our local breweries so I grabbed a bottle of 7 Swans a Swimming, a big ass Belgian Quad that would do well with some age on it.\u00a0 When I met one of the hosts and shared the beer with him, he proceeded to tell me that he was good buddies with Patrick, the owner of The Bruery, that Patrick had just been over the other week hosting a beer tasting, and that he had nothing but beers from The Bruery over at the bar for the event!\u00a0 How cool is that?\u00a0 And best of all, he didn\u2019t have 7 Swans in his cellar so I turned him on to that one.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, as I was laboring over the selection and which beer to try first, I\u2019m introduced to what had to be the biggest beer geek at the event who not only knew about The Rare Beer Club, the owner of the company he worked for was a member! \u00a0It wasn\u2019t long before he offered up a glass of The Bruery\u2019s Wineification<\/a>, a 15.7% glorious beer made by taking Black Tuesday, their landmark Imperial Stout, and fermenting it with late harvest Syrah grapes before aging it in French Oak.\u00a0 Man, it was nothing short of a religious experience.\u00a0 I sent a note off to my guy at The Bruery this morning seeing if there was any way to score a few cases of a future run for an RBC special offer.<\/p>\n

Prost!
