On Tap:

Double Crooked Tree from Dark Horse Brewing Company is now on tap. This hopfilled chewy double i.p.a. is a very limited run and will be gone very soon.

We just tapped up Ken & Fritz from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. This is their 1^st in their 30^th Anniversary series and is a collaboration between Ken from Sierra Nevada and Fritz from Anchor Brewing Co. It’s a fantastically strong and complex strong dark/stout that packs all the punch in the beginning and releases with a very smooth finish. This is a one time release that we will not see again.

Eric’s Ale from New Belgium is a delightful 3 year old blond sour ale infused with peaches. The peach is mostly on the nose and rounds the tart off, but this is one of the best beers for any sunny afternoon you will come across.

On the Way:

Bell’s Expedition Stout (cask)

Abbott Ale (cask)

Burton Baton

Moylan’s Hopsickle IIPA

Cantillon Kriek 2007

Brewery De Molen’s Hel & Verdoemenis Bottles

And many more…

Many of you have been asking about the bus trip to the Great Taste of the Midwest that we do every year. As far as I know, Yes we will be doing it again this year. We never get our tickets before July, usually a week before the festival so every years it’s a fingers crossed. I can not currently put my right hand on any book of spiritual nature on this subject, but as soon as I can with no post mortem worries I will let you know.

Cheers and good day!

Magma!

Today from 1pm to 4pm we welcome the owner of The Musketeers Brewery in Belgium as we tap up their brand new Gold Medal Winning Belgian I.P.A. named Magma! We will be the first bar in the U.S. To sell this beer! Oh and they just won a Gold Medal in the World Beer Cup for Troubadour Blond which we will be featuring as well as their Troubadour Obscura Stout. Don't miss this chance!

It's starting...

On cask we just tapped Butty Bach from Wye Valley, finally an English Bitter from England! This little gem is a sessionable 4% a.b.v. with a nice earthy nose, lemon grass bitterness and a hint of pepper at the finish.

We just tapped Stone I.P.A., Stone Levitation, and Arrogant Bastard and will be tapping Stone Pale Ale and Stone Ruination I.P.A. sometime today to start the party rolling for the big event on Saturday!! I'd like to take a moment to thank our Windy City rep Travis for helping make this all happen and all his 18 hour work days this week putting Stone Brewing Co. beers into your hands. If you see the brother out, buy him a beer, he deserves it!

Cheers,

Dave
