Draft Beer Updates
We managed to score a second one. Sly Fox Vienna Lager replaced Sly Fox Seamus Irish Red.

Saranac Pale Ale replaced Roy Pitz Best Blonde. I guess Best Blonde was a good one. I didn't manage to get any.

Steamworks Steam Engine Lager replaced Twin Lakes Winterthur Spring Wheat. Another one I didn't get to try. I guess I shouldn't leave town. Steamworks is a new brewery for us at the Grey Lodge. They are out of Durango Colorado. Durango is not far from Four Corners. I drove through Durango en route to The Grand Canyon. Next time, I'll have a reason to stop in Durango. Steam Engine Lager has won all sorts of awards. It seems like it is pretty much the definitive US lager. I can't wait to try it tomorrow night.
