Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 18:10 Tue 7/31/2012 Gave the Brugge guys some crap on twitter since they showed up late last year.. They mentioned they’d be bringing one of their newest sours (they usually bring some of their more popular fruit ones too) called Peony. Peter has a "rave" review of it from this last weekend’s Belgian Fest in STL.. I asked for Kings of Heaven but seem to have been ignored.

Word is that Madison’s Goose Island event (6-8 PM on Friday - Free) will be different from last year. Just one keg of BCS (That BCS Vanilla lasted forever last year!) and either a Juliet or Lolita keg.. So, they’ve gotten wise to how to throw a free event it sounds like..
Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 13:06 Wed 8/1/2012 Dark Horse at Alchemy is intriguing.

Does that mean no more getting $60 worth of beer and food on the house? That’s it! I am going to never buy another Goose Island beer in protest. Between Brassiere V (Destihls), Maduro (Bells), dinner at the Great Dane, and Brickhouse BBQ I think I will survive not drinking my weight in BCS.

The numbers don’t make sense to me.. 4x4 = 16.. there are 20 kegs..
