14 Dec 10 Sour Growler Tuesday, BACCO Beer Dinner, Westbrook Launch & More!
Ever since we ran Petrus Aged Pale draft for growler fills, people have been begging for us to put it on again. The draft version of this beer was a one time, commemorative release and we wanted to save the last keg for a while. With the Christmas season in full swing, we thought this was the right time to put a smile on all the sour-heads faces so at 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday) we’ll be offering growlers of this most sour gem! The draft of this is markedly more sour than its original, bottled counter-part so if you are a fan of barrel aged sour/wild ales you do not want to miss this one! At 7.3% ABV and barrel aged for over 20 months, the flavor and aroma of this golden blonde ale are incomparable.BACCO Italian Beer Dinner (12/16)

Rare Beer Tuesday Double Feature (10/12)
Tuesdays at 5pm we always tap an extra special keg for growler fills but this week we’re doubling down with not one but two spectacular specialties:
First up will be the South Carolina debut of a brand new Double IPA from Southern Tier called 2XIPA! This mouth watering hop lovers delight weighs in at 8.2% ABV. It is “citrusy and clean with an incredible finish”.
Our other feature will be the next barrel aged beer from Rogue in the “John John” series. This time around Rogue has started with their Hazelnut Brown Nectar and then aged it in Rogue’s Hazelnut Spiced Rum barrels! John John Hazelnut Brown Nectar is 5.6% ABV.

Rare Bomber Thursday (10/14)
Thursday at 5pm we’ll be releasing the next beer in our weekly 22oz counter-pressure filled bomber style growlers and we’ve got something really extraordinary – a very unique, draft only brew from the New Belgium “Lips of Faith” line up! This one is called Fall Wild Ale. “Mahogany-hued autumn ale spiced with schisandra, opens with the floral, earthy notes of fall itself. Schisandra berries, known as “five flavor fruit,” possess a panoply of flavors . This malt-forward dubbel ale is fermented with a Trappist yeast and finishes dry and slightly sour.” 8.5% ABV.
Firkin Cask Saturday (10/16)
This Saturday at 2pm we’ll be gravity tapping our next one-off cask (firkin) for growler fills and this time we’ve got the big boy from Stone Brewing Co: Ruination IPA! This already monstrously hoppy, 7.7% ABV beast has had an addition of Chinook and Centennial hops to the cask for a little something extra! Remember, unlike our regular growlers, real cask ale is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly!
Ted’s Butcherblock Fifth Anniversary Block Party (10/16)
