Midnight Wit is a Belgian-style white ale with a medium body and spicy, citrus overtones. The texture is silky, creamy, and refreshingly delightful.

Our Brewmaster learned the art of brewing tantalizing and award-winning white beers during his time in Belgium and this beer shows it.

Saturday was a good day for those of us who like to try new stuff on tap. The Sixpoint Sweet Action cream Ale and the Captain Lawrence Reserve Imperial IPA were both kicked, and have been replaced.
The new line up, as of this morning, is as follows....

Six Point Apollo Wheat
Six Point Bengali Tiger IPA
Brooklyn Brewmaster Reserve Dopplebock
SlyFox O'Reillys stout

The Brooklyn is about finished, and will be replaced by one of our favorites, Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter!

again, i will add ...
Two things to add about the growlers.
The SlyFox Stout comes with a FREE Slyfox growler, saving you a couple of bucks!
If you are not yet aware, we have 750ml bottles for filling now.

I'm sorry for not getting this info to you earlier, but Chris from Left Hand Brewing had his flight changed, and will not be able to do the tasting we had scheduled. He hopes to be able to make it up to us sometime in the near future.
  The next tasting will be Legacy Brewing, on Saturday May 10th.
Look for upcoming tastings from Blue Point, Dogfish Head, Butternuts, Sixpoint, Hebrew, amongst others.

the SlyFox Ichor has been kicked!
This changes this weeks line up to the following....

Sixpoint Sweet Action cream Ale
Captain Lawrence Reserve Imperial IPA
Brooklyn Brewmaster Reserve Dopplebock
SlyFox O'Reillys stout

Two things to add about the growlers.
The SlyFox Stout comes with a FREE Slyfox growler, saving you a couple of bucks!
If you are not yet aware, we have 750ml bottles for filling now.

This will probably change before the week is out because the Ichor is more than half done.

Sixpoint Sweet Action cream Ale is back!
Captain Lawrence Reserve Imperial IPA is back!
SlyFox Ichor
SlyFox O'Reillys stout

Thank you all for making the Growler system a success! It is because of the quick turnover that I can offer so many great choices, so often! Also, hats off to those of you who have not had even a slight hesitation at buying some of the higher priced, super limited stuff. Because of you, I will keep taking chances on some of the more crazy suggestions!

So far this weekend we have kicked 3 kegs!
Three Sixpoint kegs that were tapped last Saturday are finished!
Groundskeeper Spilly Scotch Ale, Gorilla Warfare Coffee Porter, and The Tripel have been devoured.
One of the new ones from Slyfox, the Ichor, is well on it's way.
See the next entry for the new rotation of taps!

Yesterday was the SlyFox tasting. It went very well, with no technical difficulties!
The representative, Ryan, was very impressive. He did a great job of explaining the beers, as well as fielding general questions from the thirsty crowd. As always, the crowd came in waves. Just a few people for a while, then 10-20 people hanging out sampling & asking questions. Ryan did an excellent job handling both the lulls & the rushes.
The line up of beers was as follows...........
In cans..
Pikeland Pils
Phoenix Pale Ale
Royal Weisse
These are all great choices for the boating crowd! Especially the Royal Weisse, excellent!

In bottles..
Rt.113 IPA
Saison Vos - Champagne like flavor & feel
Gang Aft Agley - Excellent Scotch Ale
Odyssey Imperial IPA
Ichor - Delicious Quad!
Black Raspberry Reserve - Surprisingly delicious!
Christmas Ale - 2007

On Tap..
O'Riellys Stout - Great dessert stout
Ichor - Even better on tap!

These beers will be in regular stock from here on.

Thanks to all who came & had fun with us!

This Saturday April 26th from 1-5, we will have a Rep from SlyFox brewing http://www.slyfoxbeer.com/home.asp on hand to dole out samples, and talk about the many beers in the Slyfox portfolio.
