Draft Beer Changes
Stone Levitation replaced Troegs Keller Sunshine Pils. I didn't get to have any Levitation on Saturday. I hope to rectify that tonight. Levitation shows at 4.4% ABV beers can be ballsy and interesting.

Boulder Hazed and Infused replaced the sixtel of Sixpoint Apollo. Hazed and Infused shows at 4.9% ABV beers can be ballsy and interesting.

Stone Cali-Belgique replaced Flying Fish Exit 11. Cali-Belgique is a Belgian/west coast IPA mash-up. Not much of this one made it east. Cali-Belgique shows that 7% beers can be ballsy and interesting, but that is pretty much already agreed upon. This is another one I didn't get to try on Saturday, and another wrong I hope to rectify this evening.


New in the Bottle Box
Sometimes life at the Grey Lodge is like the Jokers Wild and you "want to go off the board". A bunch of spots opened up in the bottle box. Filling them in for the time being are
  • 21st Amendment Come Hell or High Watermelon Wheat (can)
  • Great Lakes Edmond Fitzgerald Porter
  • Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
And added last week were:
  • Flying Fish Exit 11 (25oz)
  • Port Midnight Sessions (22oz)
  • Stone 13 (22oz)
All the bottles are passing through and last as long as they last.


Food Specials
We have about 7 food specials on the black board. Here are three of them: creamy duck sausage soup, chicken mole, and Sixpoint Brownstone rice pudding. Karina really likes the soup. I'll be having chicken mole for dinner tomorrow if it is still up on the board.


Other
The hardware store near my house is on one of their monthly vacations. Seriously it's like they go on vacation every single month. Maybe I should be running a hardware store rather than a pub. Looks like I won't wind up getting a masonry nail before next Wednesday... Kevin Romer, aka the Big Beer Guy, has a story up about our 13th Anniversary last Saturday... Charlie Gracie is at Disston Rec tonight. He should go on around 7:30. The first act goes on at 6:30pm. The price is free, but if you want to sit, you should bring your own chair.
