Hey Now! Greetings from a relatively warm February evening. We got some nice suds for you this week. Can you say Ommegang Abbey Ale! This upstate gem is a sure thing for those Belgian beer lovers. Also just added to the list is the brand new Harpoon Spring Celtic ale on tap. A perfect example of a red ale, this is a smooth easy sipper that goes well with any of our spicy food offerings. To save the best for last, my favorite winter beer this year coming out of Seattle, WA is Elysian Bi-frost. Not too sweet like many winter warmers, this beer is packed full of malty goodness balanced with a nice bouquet of hops. One taste and you will be looking forward to next years offering! Anyways, on to this weeks beer list....
