Tapped Corporal Punishment Brown Bitter Ale and Sgt. Majors IPA on Friday March 31st at 9:30pm.

I have put a twitter feed on the website www.arrowandloon.com that I can actually tweet on the fly a little quicker of news and updates.

No idea if anyone affiliated with this place is still paying attention (to anything, not just this forum), but a comedy of errors on my visit tonight.

They have a crayon-drawn add-on to their standard beer list with maybe 6-8 additions. Of those, they had two errors:

"Hoptical City" which of course was FM Hoptical Illusion
"McCauslan Hawaiian" which I was shocked to see. I'm sure the guys at Spearhead would be as well.

The cask listed as "Kichesippi", but apparently it was too complicated to add "Blonde" next to it so I had to ask which of theirs was on.

Of course the FUSS police would blow a gasket, as none of the add-ons had abv, price or quantity regardless of whether the beer was right or wrong.

I really want to like the place, and in the end my food was good and my Hawaiian by any name was solid, but still. Hard to cater to the geek crowd and offer up these kinds of mistakes.

That's a good one. How could they have possibly made that mistake?

Maybe they're just blending beers! :D

Barking Squirrel w/ Hoptical Illusion

McAuslan Apricot Wheat w/ Spearhead

I think the next one will actually be Smash-Tom.

Angry Tom is apparently a casked Mad Tom- Dry hopped maybe? The nose seemed hoppier.

Also on cask was Beau's IPeh dry-hopped with Summit and Cascade, which was very good.

I've been asking around but without much success... can you give us an idea of drink prices at the Cask Festival on the 12th?
