Big Sky @ Flying Saucer

Big Sky Stone Thrower Scotch Ale & Big Sky Cowboy Coffee Porter

The Scotch Ale was good, drinkable but nothing outstanding for me (although I love their beer in general). With that said I was blown away by the coffee porter, beautiful pour with sexy lacing trimmed with a darker hugh above the tan dance around the glass. A dark coffee smell with malt backbone followed by a smooth creamy porter taste. I loved this beer and can't wait for another opportunity to drink this fine brew. Perhaps during Freestate's official glass night at FS will be the prime time (if any is left in the 6th keg).

WHAT A SHAME

It's a sad day when one of these hit's the trash, and to twist the knife a little deaper, I had left it at work while I was at the Saucer during Saturday evening.

Delirium Tremens Glass Night!

2009.09.09
It was a comfortable summer evening at the saucer when Gina, an old highschool friend, came in to town to celebrate here 30th Birthday and introduced me to Delirium Tremens while at the Saucer. It was during the start of my beer snobbery and I loved (as I do often now) new beer to explore. I loved the beer, and my wife took special notice to the glass. As a fan of elephants she loved the glass and wanted one right away. When we inquired to the availability, there were none to spare. It was recommended that we come to glass night to get our hands on one (or three in our case, sorry Show-Me-Beer I would have ordered you one if I had known).

Belgian Strong Pale Ale _ 8.5%
A: A nice clear golden color with soft white foamy head that laces nicely as you drink it.
S: Smells of sour dough bread, tart green apples, and a hint of mild spice.
T: There is a bit of bite from the carbonation in the front with a nice tranforming flavor. It would travel to the middle of your tongue with the tart apple fruitiness and then finish by reaching the back corners of your tongue with a cherry lace.
B: Light in body, but that changed with the temperature. As it warmed it grew bigger and more enjoyable.
D: You can have a few of these but I would recommend taking your time as Belgian Beers are meant to be sipped; this wasn't tapped from the rockies.

Welcome to the UFO Club!

Welcome to the Club

Congratulations and Thank You for joining the Club! I'm Captain Keith, the FS Beer Guru, and I'd like to explain some things about our UFO Club…

Here is how it works!

1. The goal is for you to try 200 unique brews and find some favorites along the way that you would not normally try on your own. Have an open mind as you try new styles and remember, if it wasn't GOOD, we would not be carrying it!
2. By now, your card has been activated and will work in ANY of the Flying Saucer Locations. Simply log onto the Kiosk computer by swiping your card.
3. While at the Saucer, you can access the kiosk, search for beers and print the ones you would like to try. We will only credit THREE beers per day to your account. In fact the software limits each member to 3 beers in a 24 hour period. This is for your safety. Please hand the chits (print outs) to your server upon ordering. Always turn in the beer you actually drank.
4. I encourage you to read the beer descriptions at the kiosk as time allows. You can also view and print them from the website. If you wish to print your chits at home and bring them in, you can do that as well. It speeds things up!
5. When accessing the website, your initial password is beerknurd - you can change it to something else whenever you want. You may also update your e-mail address if it should ever change. You can verify your beer credits on-line - just allow 24 hours for them to post.
6. Along your journey, we will send you e-mail notices of upcoming events, specials, beer tastings, free birthday beers and special Flying Saucer brewery night glasses that are coming up! You will have the opportunity to take a Captain Keith Quiz with each specialty brewery night video e-mail. If you pass, you will be able to print a coupon for some free stuff at the Flying Saucer.
7. If you are having trouble with the kiosk, ask for a manager and let us walk you through the system. Generally, we can fix your problems immediately.
8. We will reward your efforts along the way:

§ 50 beers, you will receive a FREE PINT - print the chit and hand it to your server

§ 100 beers, you will receive a FREE BIGGIE beer

§ 150 beers, you will receive a Flying Saucer Hat

§ 200 beers is the Ultimate Goal: we will hang a Brass Plate in the Ring of Honor with your name on it AND host a $100 party for you and your friends to come and see the unveiling of your plate.

9. You must notify your server and the manager when you reach the 200^th beer. At that time, we will give you a form to be filled out with the information you would like written on your plate and we will set up a date and time for your plate party.

10. Note: as a member, you never have to pay a cover charge - just show your U.F.O.
