Empty growlers are back, the sweet swing-top type. Just $17.

Draft Beer Update
Kicked: Sierra Nevada Hoptimum (sixtel), Boulder Hazed and Infused, Harpoon Catamount Maple Wheat, Wild Onion Summer Wit, Cricket Hill Nocturne.

Tapped:
Flying Fish Farmhouse, if I recall correctly, this is our 2nd keg of Farmhouse for the season. It won't be the last. It likely won't last long either.

Sprecher Special Amber, a Vienna style lager from Milwaukee is back too.

Great Divide Colette Saison, I recall having this at the brewery in Denver last fall. Pretty sure I need a reminder of what this one tastes like. Sounds like a plan for tonight. Great Divide makes lots of different styles, all of them great, but none that I can recall are in saison vein. I'm intrigued.

Boaks Double BW, this is a Belgian style wheat beer brewed with lemongrass. This is a great beer for a day like today. And our sidewalk cafe is the perfect place to enjoy one. Save me a seat please. I should be ready for a beer by 8pm if all goes as planned.

Leinenkugels Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, we tapped another one of Leinenkugel's Big Eddy line of beers last winter, a Baltic porter. It was excellent, so wee tap this one with high expectations.

5:40pm Update: Stone La Citrueille Celeste de Citracado kicked. Replacing it is Sly Fox Incubus. Incubus is a high octane Belgian style tripel. Tripels tend to have a golden color, taste rather sweet from the high ABV, and have fruity notes from the Abbey yeast.
