Draft Beer News
21st Amendment Monks Blood kicked in just 3 days. I guess Geno, Ed, and I are not the only ones who dug it. Replacing it is Troegs Mystery Keg #1.
The caps fell off two Troegs kegs at the wholesaler. One is probably a Troegs Scratch beer (very rare); the other is probably a year round Troegs beer. Not being able ID what the kegs are sort makes selling them hard, unless they find a sucker. They know we at the Grey Lodge are suckers for great beer and for a little discount. We also love passing along any savings to our customers. We bought both kegs. Prices for both are $4/pint. If you are in a gambling mood, order a Troegs Mystery beer. The style might be a mystery, the quality won't be. I remember that once I had a Troegs beer that was merely very good. But that was many years ago, they have been great or above the last few years.
Cask-conditioned Bear Republic Racer 5, probably consistently the fastest moving beer that we run regularly our handpump, replaced cask-conditioned Yards ESA (which is always a winner too).
Russian River Damnation replaced Flying Fish Grand Cru. Damnation is a Duvel-y sort of beer, which can be both very good (tasty, tasty), and sometimes very bad (easy to have too many).

Monk's Blood has been one of my favorites of the past several months. Sorry to have missed it this time around. Do you have any idea if there's much draft in the region or did you have only one of a handful or so of kegs?
Sadly that was the only one we could get. The cans are done too. At least at the wholesale level.
We still a case of cans left here, but I suspect, they won't last long.
Something to anticipate for next year.
any idea what the kegs are yet?
We think Hopback is mystery keg number one. Which means no. 2 could be a Scratch beer.
