Draft Beer News
Nothing kicks for a day, then whammo the dam breaks.

Victory Kolsch replaced Spaten Optimator. Kolsch is light German style ale.

Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel replaced Lagunitas WTF. I got to have a couple of WTFs last night, and man it wasn't a WTF moment. Anywho, Slam Dunkel, a very limited spring seasonal from Weyerbacher is here. Dunkelwiezens are pretty much hefewiezens (wheat beers with yeast) but brewed with darker malts.

For whatever reason dunkelwiezen is a very hard to find beer style, but as luck would have it we have two on tap at once. Ramstein Dunkelweizen replaced Great Lakes Blackout Stout. I look forward to trying them side by side.

Heavy Seas Siren Noire replaced Heavy Seas Below Decks. Siren Noire is an imperial chocolate stout, which is a siren call for me.

Dogfish Head Aprihop replaced Stoudts Pils. Our 1st barrel of Aprihop for this year we had to pull off due to defective cooperage. This one is pouring perfectly. I predict Aprihop will only last about 48 hours.

On our cider line, Woodchuck Granny Smith Cider replaced Woodchuck Dark and Dry.
