Draft Beer Update

Kicked: Arcadia Jaw-Jacker Pumpkin Ale, Half Acre Daisy Cutter Pale Ale, Roy Pitz Best Blonde, Furthermore Fallen Apple.

Tapped:

Another one of three Oskar Blues beers to be tapped for tonight's Oskar (Blues) the Grouch have been tapped. Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale is the original great beer in a can. They call it a pale ale, but it's more of an IPA>

Duck Rabbit Hoppy Bunny ABA is back. It's malty; it's hoppy; it's brown; it's awesome. I love, love, love this beer. I think you will too.

We saved a keg of Dogfish Head Punkin Ale for Thanksgiving Night. The Jawjacker kicked at last call on Wednesday making room for the Punkin - a Thanksgiving miracle! The keg of Punkin (a half not a sissy sixtel) that we put on for Thanksgiving Eve kicked in just 3 hours!

Susquehanna Centennial Fresh Hop Lager - Susquehanna Centennial Fresh Hop Lager is a wet hopped or harvest lager from one of PA's newest breweries. Wet hopped beers can only be once a year when the hops are harvested wet off the vine and used immediately. Wet hopped beers are usually ales, so a lager is an interesting novelty. Adding to the novelty, this one only uses Centennial hops.

Cask-conditioned Troegs Hopback Amber is back on the beer engine. This is a great beer, the cask-conditioned version, which undergoes a secondary fermentation in the keg (active yeast making more carbonation  makes for an added treat.

6pm Update:

Oskar Blues Ten FIDY replaced Brewer's Art La Petroleuse, which will return. A nice, big imperial stout weighing in at 10.5%, hence the name Ten FIDY.
