Last night was one of those magical nights at the Lodge where everything is perfect. Lots of great, cool people hanging out together having fun. It was a really great time last night. Not surprisingly a lot of beers turned over.
Draft Beer Update
On our session beer line, Philadelphia Kenzinger replaced Victory Dark Lager. Kenzinger is a beer that everyone whether beer geek or beer novice can enjoy. I know that's true since it always flies out of here.
On our wheat beer line, Philadelphia Walt Wit replaced Stoudts Heifer-in Wheat. This is another popular beer, and also one that we will be pouring at tomorrow's Mayfair Farmers Market Preview. Please click the link. The Farmers Market will be a really cool addition to Mayfair. We will be doing a pop-up beer garden as part of the Farmers Market. More info is in the 2nd post at http://mayfairbiz.blogspot.com/.
On our IPA line, Manayunk St. Alpha Belgian IPA replaced Stone 16th Anniversary. Mixing Belgian yeast with a traditional American IPA almost always results in a tasty beer. This is not an exception to that rule.
What is currently one of two festbier lines, Sprecher Oktoberfest replaced Great Lakes Oktoberfest. Sprecher, like Great Lakes, is a good size mid west brewery specializing in German style beers. Great Lakes is in Cleveland; Sprecher is in Milwaukee. Their takes on festbier are surprisingly similar. In this case, similar is good. Both are very tasty Oktoberfest beers.
On what is currently our pumpkin line, Samuel Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin replaced River Horse Hippo'Lantern. Fat Jack is a crowd pleaser. This is will make Bob Savino Jr. and Joe (last name unknown) very happy. It will make other people happy too, but those two specificially asked about it.
On line 10, our big beer line, a sixtel of Weyerbacher Insanity replaced a 1/4 barrel of Ayinger Oktoberfest. Weyerbacher wood ages several of their big beers. The names are clever, more extreme versions of the original names. Insanity is the oak aged version of their Blithering Idiot barley wine. At 11% ABV, this is a big'un so small pours only.
I'm sure Chris will have some more updates for you later tonight.
