Tonight
Join us for Hook and Ladder Chutes and Ladders Night. There will be prizes for Chutes and Ladders winners. Tasty Hook and Ladder beer will be on tap and in bottles. It's like kindergarten but with beer. They are in a new budget year, so we expect there will be a good number of prizes. 6pm to 9pm

Draft Beer Changes
A lot of barrels were low when I left last night. I expect I'll be updating this section several times before today is over.

Update: I was right (hey it happens sometimes). We had 5, count 'em 5, barrels turn over today.

The very rare, Ommegang Obamagang, replaced the even more rare Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. Obamagang is a chocolaty porter with some kriek and bret going on. This will be my first beer of the night.

The always popular, Stoudts Smooth Hoperator, replaced Founders Harvest Ale.

Boulder Never Summer Ale replaced Dock Street Maple Porter. I remember from last year that Never Summer was really tasty and that we were only able to score one barrel of it. I don't know what the supply is like this year, but I am definitely going to enjoy one this evening.

The very pleasant Stegmaier Porter replaced Stegmaier Holiday Warmer.

Philadelphia Walt Wit replaced Ballast Point Wahoo Wheat.

Further Update: So for those keeping score at home or elsewhere, we are now up to six change overs for today. Long Trail Double Bag replaced Troegenator Double Bock. Double Bag is a sticke style beer.
