Tuesday - Lucky 13 Home Brew Club, 7:30pm on our 2nd floor. Homebrewers of all experience levels are welcome to join us. If you have some homebrew to share that's cool. If you don't that's cool too.
Wednesday - As usual, it's Quizzo. This week's Quizmaster is Quizmaster Chris3. 8pm on our 2nd floor
Friday - This Friday it's a double dip. First up is 120 on 2/10. When we tapped a sixtel of Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA on Friday, January 20th (120 on 1/20), it kicked by 9:30pm. We tapped at 10am so that's probably why it kicked so early. Some folks came late and missed out. This time around is for them. We will tap the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA at 4pm, so it should be still around until way past 9:30pm. Second up is Czech Your Beer!.. with Staropramen. Tom or maybe Fran from Staropramen will have glassware and other goodies. Buy a pint, keep the glass! While supplies last. 6pm to 8pm.
This week’s Beer Season beer of the week is a Baltic Porter, Victory Baltic Thunder. Here's the story on Baltic porters. England would export stout to the Russian Emperor aka Czar. To survive the voyage they made the Russian Imperial Stout extra high octane. Some of it was traded en route to Russia. The locals eventually started brewing their own version, but instead of using English ale yeast, they used local lager yeast, thus creating the Baltic porter style. Victory's Baltic Thunder has a story all it's own, but I don't feel like going into it since it's not really all that interesting. Google it if you want. What is important is that we have a great locally made Baltic porter for you try this week.

Draft Beer Update
Manayunk Monk from the Yunk replaced Dock Street Abbey Single. Monk from the Yunk is an abbey style triple. Abbey triple's are very strong golden ales fermented with fruity Belgian yeast. Monk from the Yunk clocks in at 9.1% ABV and uses yeast from the really awesome La Chouffe brewery in Belgium.
