beernesday

Tonight is Rail Ale Tuesday at The Railway Club. They will be tapping a cask of Bumbleberry East Side Bitter, from R & B Brewung.

Tapped @ 5pm and facebook suggests i have a beer at 5:00 for jack layton sounds like a plan is born   i had the r&b pale ale cask at the whip on sunday afternoon dry-hopped with czech hops it tasted kinda like iced tea which on a hot and muggy afternoon was a very good thing! just had the one pint though

newsflash from red truck brewery: "The Blueberry is here!!! Check for it at the Alibi Room, The Village Taphouse, The Sunset Grill, The Flying Tiger and St.Augustines, Central Bistro and Mis Trucos this week...!!!!!!" wondering where in my week i can fit in a quick trip to any of the above...  justin, amanda, bridget - any of you free on wednesday evening???
