They must have brought a lot of kegs though. Around 5pm the "tapped out" signs started appearing, but the Helles Belles line was still raging.<br /><br />Decided to skip it and just wander into the brewery sometime this weekend for a pint.<br /><br /Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493321326831765055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-28250705609182553402011-07-30T07:16:51.780-07:002011-07-30T07:16:51.780-07:00The Thursday secret is out clearly.

Brunch was also not on par with last year's... it was typical McMenamins though, so I guess that is to be expected. <br /><br />I am hearing the BUZZ TENT is done. Maybe they'll restock but that was a hit or miss find usually as stuff went, again, quickly for a Thursday. <br /><brDann Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788286445033083370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-39269894841776186172011-07-29T23:01:09.589-07:002011-07-29T23:01:09.589-07:00You got "sweat" from Idiot Sauvin too?

I think it's the lager yeast that makes it what it is...a complex, tasty beer. Kind of an interesting shift for Ninkasi, perhaps showing they can do any beer well.<br /><br />The Dogfish Head beer is just completely over the top. It's like someone put toothpaste in the tank during secondary fermentation.
