BREW REVUE: Bits of The Brett Pack blow into town

Lock up your daughters and prepare your liver, 'cause The Brett Pack is coming to town.
Hot on the heels of Port Brewing and Lost Abbey genius brewer Tomme Arthur visiting Memphis Taproom tonight , Dogfish Head owner/chief visionary Sam Calagione will be stopping by Earth Bread + Brewery on Thursday; you'll have to wait until March 11 to see Allagash Brewing founder Rob Tod when he does events at Jose Pistolas, Teresa's Next Door, Beer Yard and Craft Ale House.
Tonight at 6 p.m., Memphis Taproom (2231 E. Cumberland St.) will begin pouring Tomme Arthur's Mongo Double IPA, anniversary Hop 15, Wipeout IPA, frankincense-and-myhrr-infused Gift of the Magi '08 vintage, Carnivale and the super-boozy, seriously coveted Older Viscosity aged barleywine on draft, as well as "some super limited edition surprises". I would say arrive early to this one; the ubergeeks have no compunctions about setting a pick/and or boxing the neophytes out from getting the truly rare stuff. In addition, bald folks with glasses get an extra dollar off all drafts. I'm headed out to buy a swim-cap now.
Sam Calagione will be bringing 7 or 8 of his "wild concoctions" to Earth Bread + Brewery (7139 Germantown Ave.) on Thu., Feb. 25 at 6 p.m., and guests get to keep their curvy "off-centered" pint glass. Expect the juice-infused Red+White, Black+Blue and Fort, Raison d'Etre, 60 Minute IPA and Indian Brown Ale, plus limited seasonals like ApriHop.
Check back for details on Rob Tod's March 11 appearances closer to the event.
