Draft Beer Update
Manayunk Burton Ale replaced Manayunk Festivus. To brew a Burton (UK) Ale in the USA, you need to treat your water to get a similar mineral content. I had one of these last night. It was so tasty, I was able to forget about the Eagles a little bit.

Founders Pale Ale replaced Ithaca Flower Power IPA. I was at friend's house a couple of summers ago and he had a sixtel of Founders Pale. Now Founders makes some really amazing beers, but Pale Ale.. how boring! Why would be buy that when they have so many amazing beers. So I hadn't tried it before then. What a mistake. This is a super tasty nice little beer. I now use Pale Ale as the "show me" beer for any microbrewery. If they can put out a tasty Pale Ale, they really know their stuff.

Philadelphia Rowhouse Red replaced Sixpoint Bengali Tiger IPA. Rowhouse is a beer that often gets forgotten about. I had one at Philly's Xmas Party and was glad to remake its acquaintance.

The last barrel of Troegs Mad Elf for 2010 replaced itself.
