Jeez Louise do we have some good stuff for you tonight!

First of all it's our annual Mad Elf/Happy You Night. Nine Troegs beers on tap!.. including 3 elves (more details below), plus Jolly Ol' St. Nick Johnson will have Mad Elf gear for sale. Word is the long suffering Meg plus fetus will be joining him.

If that ain't enough, it's also a Jodi's Firkin Night. More details below.

Draft Beer Update
Tapped:

cask-conditioned, gravity pour Stoudts Honey American Pale Ale. This is the Jodi's Firkin mentioned up above. Every month Jodi makes us a special firkin. This month she took Stoudts APA and used fresh Lancaster County honey for the secondary fermentation. Jodi will be hanging out to help us drink it. Be sure to say hi to her.

2011 Troegs Mad Elf and 2010 Troegs Mad Elf we have two years of Troegs's famous Christmas beer. This monster clocks in at 11% ABV. Aging for a year tends to mellow it. Try them side by side and see the difference time makes.

Troegs Naked Elf (sixtel) - we also have Naked Elf, which is Mad Elf without the cherries and honey. The result is a lower octane beer, but still high octane at 9.3%. Without the honey and cherry, the Belgian yeast really shines through.

Troegs The Flying Mouflan (sixtel) - this another big one from Troegs. Almost 10%, it's their Nugget Nectar on 'roids. If that aint' enough, they add choco nibs.

Troegs Dream Weaver Wheat - Troegs's perfect Bavarian style wheat beer is also on tap. Try it mixed with Mad Elf for Mad Dreams, or with Naked Elf for Naked Dreams.

We also have 4 beers from Troegs' experimental Scratch series. Each name pretty explains what you are going to get.





Kicked: Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Bear Republic Mach 10, Prism Shady Blonde, and Boulder Fresh Track.

Untapped but coming back: Manayunk Hop Phanatic, Great Divide Hibernation Ale, Flying Fish Grand Cru, Stoudts Gold, and Yards ESA.
