Hello Greylodge.com Update. Goodbye Blogger. <b>It's 2015</b> (but you've probably noticed that)<br />
It's 2015 and nobody really uses RSS feeds, which is why we started using Blogger way back when. Google Reader and RSS was the hot thing, which never really caught on. Google pulled the plug on Reader a few years ago and now RSS is really a small niche of Internet usage.<br />
<br />
<b>Website Redo</b><br />
It has taken me many, many hours over many weeks. Most of that was spent learning new tricks. Our <a href="http://greylodge.com/">Website</a> is now updated for 2015.<br />
<br />
Some of the major goals of the update were a new look, easier navigation, mobile friendliness, and to reduce some of redundant stuff that Chris and I have to do.I think we have succeeded on all of those. Please let me know what you think at <a href="mailto:scoats@greylodge.com">scoats@greylodge.com</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Bye Bye Blogger</b><br />
One of the redundancies we are losing is Blogger. News will now be on our Facebook page, which embeds sort of nicely into our <a href="http://news.greylodge.com/">News Page</a> which you can go to if you don't want to go out to Facebook. <i>We respect anyone who doesn't want to be assimilated into the Facebook borg. </i><br />
<br />
Tacos specials will be listed on our new <a href="http://tacos.greylodge.com/">Tacos Page</a>.<br />
<br />
Weekly chalkboard specials now have a prominent spot on our new <a href="http://food.greylodge.com/">Food Page</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://beer.greylodge.com/">Beer</a> updates get posted automatically to Facebook now, which feeds the News Page.<br />
<br />
See you all on the News Page and/or on Facebook.<br />
<br />
Please email me (<a href="mailto:scoats@greylodge.com">scoats@greylodge</a>) with any thoughts, comments, or suggestions.<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for reading and thank you for your support.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/stone-india-pale-ale/422/" target="_blank">Stone IPA</a> replaced Free Will Kragel IPA. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it. Another IPA we haven't had in for a very long time.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/innis-gunn-scottish-porter/230961/" target="_blank">Innis & Gunn Scottish Porter</a> replaced Do Good Milk Street Stout. As well as using flavour-packed chocolate and crystal malt, they also added treacle (molasses) which gives the beer its rich, bittersweet character. 100 years ago in Scotland, treacle was used by brewers to create depth and sweetness and to give beers a richer mouthfeel and more rounded finish.<br />
<br />

It was a blast! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now we begin our 20th year as The Grey Lodge Pub. We don't have the luxury of resting on our laurels, which is just as well since that's boring. We will keep doing what works, and trying to keep doing that better, while also trying to learn some new tricks too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The craft beer world has really matured and is at a bit of a crossroads. How does a bar be (or stay) a great beer bar in today's world where craft beer is everywhere and there are multiple beer events on a daily basis? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is more really more?</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> We will attempt to figure that out in our 3rd decade. We look forward to figuring it out together. As always, feedback is welcome. If you have any thoughts, please let me know, either in person or by email (scoats@greylodge.com),</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And mark your calendar for Saturday, 13 August 2016. Our 20th Anniversary will be epic! And we have almost a whole year to figure out what epic will involve. </span><br />
<br />

"Belgian-style Amber that packs a hearty dose of tropical mango and papaya fruit-like flavors, with hallmark spice characteristics from classic Belgian yeast.

<br />
<a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/yards-cape-of-good-hope-ipa/108833/" target="_blank">Yards Cape of Good Hope IPA</a> replaced Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA. A West Coast style double IPA.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/forgotten-boardwalk-directory-for-gentlemen/292676/" target="_blank">Forgotten Boardwalk Directory For Gentlemen</a> replaced Flying Fish Farmhouse. A Chai Saison.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dogoodbrewing.com/?page_id=332" target="_blank">Do Good Milk Street Stout</a> replaced Lancaster Milk Stout. The Do Good Milk Street Stout is of course named after the street Benjamin Franklin grew up on. This is a milk stout with vanilla bean and chocolate added. In order to give this beer a smooth chocolate milk gulping sensation, they lowered the carbonation. This gives a true tasty sensation of drinking a ice cold glass of alchoholic chocolate milk.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rivertowne-hala-kahiki-pineapple-beer/191316/" target="_blank">Rivertowne Hala Kahiki</a> replaced Ithaca Cayuga Cruiser. A nice and refreshing beer made with pineapple.<br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;">Over our 19 year history, The Grey Lodge has developed several iconic menu items such as our Lodge Steak, fresh cut fries, Lucky 13 Burger, and Cajun Fish Sandwich. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">To create more awareness of these, we want to create an iconic graphic for each iconic food item. Something like a beer label. A really, really cool beer label. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">We could do it in house, but we thought it would be more fun to have a contest. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">First up is... you know it, you love it.. the Lodge Steak! The Lodge Steak has been on our menu from when we first opened our full kitchen in February 2005. The Lodge Steak is freshly sliced steak, our house cheese sauce, salami, and roasted pepper mayo.<br /><br />More iconic food logo contests to come!<br /><br /><img align="center" height="669" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhcCvzmqqU8dQ1_HWhy_ILZ20PRCBBCSQ5TJkOkZPsS60YFiv8_AkLrEii_rOyGJxPnUXAfb5RnebI5J3afzGYUtL9ZQJf1f8Tmp9C2tDcFhokbWgjuKSSUNaRVjWwZg8SuxMRd9hkV681tchsZlicQQ5pnt4_jun98UOsL2LuaR4QZX6H_d2YF_SwUqd7-vyIgv3tA5-alueJOD5seldkXR-0G_S_MOg=s0-d-e1-ft" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; min-height: 669px; outline: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /></span><br /><br /><br /><strong style="font-size: 18px;">Rules:</strong><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">- Let your creativity go wild; while the graphic can use unlimited colors, there must also be a version that is reproducible in three colors or less (with one of those three colors being white). </span><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">- Everyone is eligible and no one will get special consideration.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">- Winner and runners-up will be determined by Chris and myself.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brooklyn has decided to take extreme beers to the EXTREME with Poison Sumac Wit! Other breweries claim to merely ruin your taste buds. Bah, that's not extreme anymore. But a beer that gives you a crusty, oozing rash, now that's extreme! What? Oh it's RED Sumac. WTF is Red Sumac? It's stuff that can be used to make a lemonade type beverage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac Sounds perfect with a wit beer actually. Anyhoo <a href="http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2015/05/brooklyn-brewmasters-reserve-red-sumac.html" target="_blank">Brooklyn Red Sumac Wit</a> replaced Allagash White.</span><br />

You know the craft beer world has reached a tipping point when we have both a berliner weisse and a gose on tap at the same time. Both were really obscure German beer styles just a few years ago. Gose is a salty, sour, sort of lower octane wheat beer that was available from a couple of breweries. Victory has added cherries to theirs and it was a bit of a sleeper hit for them. </span><br />
