Draft Beer Update
Kicked: Brooklynner Weisse, Lost Abbey Serpent Stout, Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron (sixtel), and Dogfish Head Theobroma (sixtel).

Tapped:

• Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball - This seasonal is always highly anticipated. Attention Brendan Meehan and Nick Dominski, Eyeball is tapped, come and get it.
• Manayunk Smokehouse Porter - a smoked porter. Alaska Smoked Porter is the standard for this style (thanks to whoever was getting me those bottles a few years ago). Alaska's is solid porter with a hint of something that makes it awesome. That something would be the smoke. I'm anxious to see how Manayunk's compares with my memory of Alaska Smoked Porter. Manayunk doesn't eff around, so my expectations are high.
• Weyerbacher Oscar - the latest in Weyerbacher's Brewer's Select Reserve Series is a super hopped up hefeweizen. Another one I can't wait to try.
  

You may have noticed that four beers kicked but only 3 were tapped. Line 10 is being held for the secret beer. Some folks blabbed the secret on the Web, so despite our efforts, it might end up being a sh&tshow tomorrow night. If the Plunger kicks too soon, we have another very special sixtel lined up to make it worth the trip anyway.
