Draft Beer Update:

Weyerbacher Papa replaced Philadelphia Fleur de Lehigh. There is not much out there in the web about Weyerbacher Papa, but we have gathered enough information to conclude that it is a Scottish Ale.

Samuel Adams East-West Kolsch replaced Penn Weizen. Samuel Adams East-West Kolsch is Their version of the traditional German Kolsch. The Alsation hop they chose imparts a subtle citrus note. Jasmine Sambac, a night blooming Southeast Asian flower, adds a delicate floral aroma and flavor to this layered and refreshing brew.

Ommegang BPA replaced Lagunitas Undercover Shut Down Ale. Ommegang BPA is a Belgian Pale Ale that is made with Ommegang's own Belgian yeast strain and still has a nice hoppy character.

Prism Flying Magical Zebras replaced Firestone Walker Walkers Reserve Porter. Prism Flying Magical Zebras is a combination of their Death March Hopless Porter and T.E.A. Party Pale Ale to create, in their words, "the ultimate Black and Tan".

Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere replaced Manayunk Hop Phanatic. Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere is released only one time a year because that is the only time you can get fresh hops for this harvest beer. The hops are from New Zealand and they are blended with Sierra's own hops to make a great IPA.
