Draft Beer Update

On our black beer line, Weyerbacher Auriga replaced Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin. Auriga is an American stout, which means it's hopped up. It clocks in at 6.5% ABV. From Wikipedia: Auriga is one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Located north of the celestial equator, its name is the Latin word for "charioteer", associating it with various mythological charioteers including Erichthonius and Myrtilus

Stupid ancient people. Maybe if you drink enough Auriga, that blob will looks like a charioteer.



Evil Genius Forsaken replaced Russian River Damnation is a dry-hopped amber ale. It also clocks in at 6.5% ABV. Sounds very drinkable and very pleasant.

On our IPA line, Half Acre Daisy Cutter Pale Ale replaced Free Will Techno IPA. Half Acre doesn't call this an IPA, but it should be hoppy enough for anyone. Either way, it is a really delicious beer.

On line 10, the big beer line, Heavy Seas Yule Tide (sixtel) replaced Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux (20 liter). Yule Tide is a 10% Belgian style triple. It's very spicy you may expect from a Christmas Ale, but all of the spice notes come from the Trappist ale yeast, not actual spices. Big beer in a small barrel, so small pours only.
