Draft Beer News
Kicked: Great Divide Hibernation Ale, 21st Amendment Fireside Chat, Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, Heavy Seas Winter, Storm, and Sly Fox Pikeland Pils. A sixtel Sixpoint Gorilla Warfare was tapped after I left yesteray. It kicked already. Guess it was good.

Tapped:
Dock Street Justin's Moustache - This is a new one from Dock Street, named for assistant brewer Justin and his eponymous moustache. This is my first time getting to use the word "eponymous". Justin's Moustache is a helles that uses 20% smoked malt. I can't wait to have one when I'm on the better side of the bar later tonight.

Red Hook Winterhook - The recipe changes slightly every winter because nobody likes getting the exact same Holiday present year after year. Redhook’s 27th brew of Winterhook has roasted chocolate notes that smooth out the quick, spicy hop finish. Mmm I shall have to have one tonight.

Otter Creek Alpine Black IPA - this is a great example of the style.

Manayunk Philadelphia Porter - Philadelphia used to be known for porter. Manayunk is keeping that tradition alive.

Sly Fox Pikeland Pils - this is our current Beer Season beer, representing a great example of the pislner style. For each week of Beer Season, we will highlight a different style of beer. Drink all 13, one per week, to receive a free limited edition Beer Season T-shirt. There is still time to sign up for this our longest running promotion.
