Birdsong Brewing is hard at work on their new facility, but that won’t stop them from throwing one last anniversary celebration at the current brewery this weekend. They will celebrate their three-year anniversary with three days filled with special beers.

It all starts this Friday, when they tap Puppies on Penguins at 4:30 p.m. You might remember from last year that Puppies on Penguins is the brewery’s Belgian abbey ale, The Pride, that has been aged with cherries in red wine barrels. That one has some age on it, and a fresh batch of The Pride will be on as well. Then at 7:30 p.m., they will tap Nighthawk Postcards, which is a sour-mash stout brewed with raspberries.

On Saturday at noon, they will tap a bourbon barrel-aged version of their St. Tuber Abbey Ale. I had this one last year, and it was fantastic. It’s as fitting an “end to fall” beer as you’ll find. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, they will tap a red wine barrel-aged MexiCali Stout.

And then on Sunday, they’ll tap 2012 and 2013 versions of The Pride, so that you can compare them with this year’s batch. Not only that, but in addition to their Pride, they’re also tapping Joy –a beer brewed with the second runnings of The Pride, and then fermented with muscadines and Brettanomyces.

The Birdsong crew shared some of these details and talked about the new building on the latest episode of Cheers Charlotte.
