...

On Saturday, April 25th, The Sovereign joins the best beer bars and breweries from across the globe in hosting Cantillon's prestigious bi-annual event, Zwanze Day!

The Zwanze 2026 beers (yes, there are 2 this year!) will be served at 3 PM sharp, as we join the other Zwanze Day locations in a worldwide toast. Doors open at 10 AM, with sets of Zwanze 2026 pours available for pre-sale.
For this year’s Zwanze beers, Cantillon worked with a small producer called Vermouth Sullivan. Founded four years ago by Paul, Florian, and Vincent, they produce Vermouth using traditional techniques. The first Zwanze 2026 beer, Artémis La Blanche, is a blend of an elixir made from gentian, coriander, rhubarb root, juniper, sage, angelica, wormwood, and many other herbs blended with Lambic. The second, Artémis La Rouge, is a blend of an elixir made from verbena, marjoram, rose, apple, curry plant, wormwood, and many other herbs, blended with Kriek. Both beers have an alcohol content of 7%. The name Artémis was chosen because of its connection with absinthe, or Artemisia, a plant that is an essential ingredient in the herbal, plant, and root infusions used to make Vermouth. Artémis is the goddess of hunting and nature in Greek mythology.

We will also feature 9 additional Cantillon drafts in honor of Zwanze Day, along with a selection of Cantillon bottles pulled from our private collection, and a limited amount of curated lambic gift sets. Commemorative Zwanze Day shirts and glassware will also be available.

All Cantillon drafts will be available at 10 AM, except for the Zwanze beers, which will be served at 3 PM. There is no admission fee for this event. Zwanze pours and seating will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

GUIDED TRAPPIST ALE TASTINGS WITH GREG ENGERT!

Saturday, April 25th

Saturday, May 2nd & Sunday, May 3rd | 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM | $55
Tickets Available Here

...

On Saturday, May 2nd, and Sunday, May 3rd, The Sovereign will host two private guided tastings of Trappist Ales. Our very own Greg Engert, NRG Beverage Director, will lead you through 9 of his favorite Trappist Ales.

Trappist beer must be brewed by, or under the direct supervision of, monks belonging to the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (the Trappist order), within the walls of a Trappist monastery, and in accordance with strict standards set by the International Trappist Association (ITA). Over time, the number of Trappist breweries has fluctuated. There are currently 8 active Trappist breweries in the world.

Together, we will explore a range of Trappist ales, including a 3-year vertical tasting of Orval. Reserve your spot in either session of these intimate tastings on Eventbrite. Tickets are $55 per guest, excluding taxes and fees. The private tastings begin at 12:00 PM both days. Each guest will receive nine (9) taster pours of Trappist ale.

Chimay Premiere Red (Dubbel; Cans)
