Was there at 4pm yesterday. There are still over a dozen kegs outside for $5 pint or $2.50 half pint. And I agree that the Peach and Pepper is Wow! It smells great, tastes amazing, and ends with the pepper gripping your throat with a hot feeling that lightly lingers just long enough until your next ...

Ah, you can pick it up at Whitehouse Meats in St. Lawrence Markey. A friend got a whole bunch in for a barbecue. Its kinda cool, but pretty expensive. Just visited Whitehouse Meats today and they do not have any Camel burgers and they denied ever selling any. Is this one of those situations where i...

For some reason, the link above doesn't work. Try this one:

I was not able to attend this event, however I visited them last night and to my pleasant surprise, they had the Koningshoeven Trappist Bock on tap. Adam explained that his supplier ended up providing him with two kegs of the Bock, so he is serving it now. Get some while you can!

I forgot to mention my only gripe of the night... and this is more of a note/suggestion to the organizers for next year. Though the music was fun and a good variety, it was a little too loud. Don't get me wrong, I go to metal concerts all the time and love the music loud, but then that's what I'm th...

I was there last night with my wife and some friends of ours. The event went very well considering it's a first annual. When we got there, we were asked to go upstairs as the main floor wasn't ready yet. They were serving certain craft brews in bottles such as Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry Stout...
