Steeped in traditional music from both sides of the color line, Scott Ainslie is a renowned acoustic blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He learned southern old-time ballads, banjo and fiddle from senior musicians in North Carolina and West Virginia and blues from his black elders in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi: his roots are deep.

“the kind of musician they don’t make any more, in the mold of the late Pete Seeger – unpretentious, dead serious about his craft, dedicated to preserving traditional American music and instruments, unabashedly faithful to left-liberal values, and so versatile he can make you weep one moment over the story of a dying steel town (“All these houses for sale, and ain’t none of them sold…”) and snicker appreciatively the next at a driving Mississippi blues song full of earthy innuendo.”

-Pamela Constable, The Washington Post

Leif Larson, Son of Lar out of Narnia, was raised to fight the good fight against iHop for The Love of Waffle House. He and his elven warrior princess, Brittany, fight to make sure all Waffle Houses always have coffee and a proper deck of cards at all times of day. To Relax, they make their rounds to The Glass Jug Beer Lab and Beer Study – Durham.

One day, Leif drank too much Event Horizon at Beer Study, then went to The Glass Jug to see Chris, where he accidentally fell into the boil kettle. Thus, a barleywine, Baby Leif, was born.

On January 16th, The Glass Jug and Beer Study Durham will feature Baby Leif on tap. However, only a small amount of Baby Leif will be available, as the rest of Leif is still maturing in bourbon, rum, and apple brandy barrels. Once ready, the barrel-aged version will be released as #BarleywineIsLeif.

—

Baby Leif is a 9.7% ABV barleywine that is bold and complex with flavors of caramel, toast, and dark fruit that blend perfectly into a very drinkable barleywine that packs a punch. Available on draft at both locations. A limited run of crowlers will be available at The Glass Jug while supplies last.

The first 50 people to purchase a glass of Baby Leif at either location will receive a collectible Leif trading card. These things are going to be hotter than Beanie Babies in the year 1996.

The event consists of a reading by the feature poet followed by an open microphone, for which readers may sign up and recite one or two short pieces. During the open portion of the event, we encourage new voices and accomplished poets alike to share what they have been working on in a space where writers have the opportunity to try out new works in front of an audience on a monthly basis. Please join us for consistent, fine poetry in a setting that is equally fine.

Please support our feature writers by purchasing books from them. The bar will remain open after the reading has concluded in order to give poets a chance to mingle and peruse the merchandise.
