Wow, it's July already. That means I will be working the Log later today.

This Week at the Grey Lodge
Today the AC is blowing nicely and the 1st floor is very comfortable. Why not stop by and beat the heat.

Tuesday night, the 2nd floor will be closing at 6:30pm for a private party.

Wednesday is Independence Day. Our first floor will be open as usual, 10am to 2am. Our kitchen will be running from noon to 8pm. And our second floor will be closed. Quizzo will be taking the night off.

Friday is our annual Xmas in July. On tap will be barrels of Anchor Special Ale, Corsendonk Christmas, Sly Fox Christmas, and Troegs Mad Elf that we have been holding since last December. All beers will be on tap by 6pm. Order dinner and get a free Christmas desert.


Draft Beer Update

On our big beer line, a sixtel of Great Divide Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA replaced a sixtel of Harpoon Leviathon Barleywine. The name says it all. And it's from Great Divide so you know it will be great. Great but not divisive... I guess they only live up to half their name.

On one of our anything goes lines, Lagunitas Czech Pils replaced Victory Braumeister Pils-Tettnanger. Larry Kielt asked us to get in a Lagunitas for his 60th birthday. This was the only Lagunitas in stock last week, which works out well. While we tap a lot of Lagunitas beers, we seldom tap their Czech Pils.

On our wheat beer line, Victory Sunrise Weissbier replaced Summit Dunkel Weizen. Sunrise is a longtime summer seasonal for Victory. Sunrise, a traditional Bavarian hefewiezen, never lasts long, so be sure to score some while you can.

On our black beer line, Dark Horse Fore Smoked Stout replaced Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. As you might expect Fore is a stout made with smoked malt.

On our session beer line, Stone Levitation replaced Dogfish Head Festina Peche. Levitation is a hoppy session beer. Stone shows they can brew a smaller beer that is just as great as their big'ins.

On our beer engine line, cask-conditioned Victory Hop Devil replaced Sierra Nevada Torpedo. I look forward to retrying the cask version of this old favorite.
