Draft Beer Update
It continues to look a lot like Christmas...

Evil Genius Naughty or Nice replaced the ever popular Sly Fox Christmas Ale. Fear not, we have 4 more Sly Fox Christmas Ales to go on next week, which just so happens to be Christmas week. In the meantime, enjoy this new brewery's take on a spiced Christmas beer. I had a sample of it a few weeks ago. I liked it so much, we bought two kegs of it.

Sixpoint Diesel replaced Dogfish Head Chicory Stout. Diesel is a very hoppy stout.

Yards Thomas Jefferson Tavern Ale replaced the sixtel of Dogfish Head Burton Baton. We haven't had a Thomas Jefferson on tap in a while, so Tommy was due. This higher octane red ale is always very popular here, which is good because we have more Christmas beers to tap once it kicks.

Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean there isn't room at the inn for a hopbomb. Ballast Point Sculpin replaced Ithaca Cascazilla. The hopbomb will blow away any manger.

Victory Prima Pils replaced Kira Wit. Christmas beers are great, but sometimes you need a break from all that jollyness. What better break than one the best pilsners out there?

This week's Beer Season beer of the week, Duck Rabbit Milk Stout, replaced itself. It's one of the best milk stouts. And if you don't believe me, just ask Craig Colter or Dianne Peoples.

5:20 update: Jodi just arrived with a firkin cask-conditioned, gravity pour Stoudts Feliz Navidad ESB. This is their ESB with cocoa, cinamon and brown sugar. I had a short pour and it's super tasty.

2011 Troegs Mad Elf

replaced the sixtel of Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine. This 11% holiday maker of jolly is always a huge hit here. We have another barrel that we will tap on Thursday for the Lew Bryson Book Singing/Christmas Carol Sing-along, which will be a super jolly time. Don't miss it!
