Draft Beer Update
Southern Tier 2xIPA kicked. We'll be putting a pumpkin beer on tap on that line late tomorrow night? Why because on Friday, WE'LL BE PUMPKIN CRAZY! Four pumpkin beers on tap (Dogfish Head Punkin, Southern Tier Pump King, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin, and Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin) and pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie.

Our long parade of wet-hopped beers continues with Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere, which replaces Philadelphia Harvest from the Hood, which was also a wet hopped beer. What does wet-hopped mean? It means they use super fresh hops fresh off the vine, that are still wet. They can only do this once a year when hops are harvested. Unless you are Sierra Nevada and you do it twice a year by also flying hops in from the southern hemisphere when they are harvested in what is our spring. Northern Hemisphere is a new name for Sierra Nevada Harvest.

Roy Pitz Gobbler Lager replaced Thomas Hooker Octoberfest. Gobbler is a hearty lager brewed for the fall.
