Photos from Cypress Street's 2nd Annual Beer Geek Carnival

On Tuesday, May 28th, Cypress Street Pint and Plate welcomed guests to a very special edition of Beer Geek Tuesday. The 2nd Annual Beer Geek Carnival kicked off at 7pm and once again featured ice cold Clown Shoes Beer on draught, carnival themed fare and performances by the Imperial OPA circus troop.

Aerialists, jugglers and stilt walkers wowed the packed patio and as evening fell, fire dancers and jugglers added another round of excitement. In true Beer Geek Tuesday fashion, Cypress Street’s resident beer guru, Rob Merrick, was on hand to help the beer-curious pair the featured Clown Shoes brews with Cypress' classic carnival food specials.

Guests, among which were beer blogger extraordinaire Ale Sharpton and Beer Street Journal’s Reid Ramsey, enjoyed made to order funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and mini corn-dogs while a patio-side dunk tank gave Cypress’ staff and guests the opportunity to prove their accuracy and dunk Cypress Street co-owner and managing partner Billy Streck, General Manager Ryan Crocker, and Executive Chef Richard Silvey. Cypress Street’s inspired regular dinner menu and expansive beer list were also available throughout the evening.
