So after much rave from the beeradvocate members, I head down to the A&A to check things out. What got me here was yesterday they had tapped Firestone Abacus Barleywine and that is pretty rare, and apparently that was the only barrel left in the US. \n\nI missed it- All gone...blah. Oh well, so they had a printed out draft list and nearly everything is crossed out and stuff written on the sides as replacements. Glad to see they had good stuff but I was also hella irritated that everything I wanted to try was gone (DogfishHead Fort, Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Stone Old Guardian 07, Firestone Union Jack IPA) and none of the replacements were things I couldnt get or didnt have in the fridge..bummer, it wasnt replaced with another unusual beer this time around. Settled on a Firestone DBA as I havent seen that around. \n\nIt's a real basic bar but the brews are serious here and I could respect that. It's very typical tavern with not really an ambiance and the ventilation isn't that good ...it was very smoky even though there wasn't much smoking happening when we went.\n\n I wish they update their site more often of what brews are going on....\n\nI live far away and will come if something worth it is on the tap, a special event or beer geeks decide to unite for a night. Definitely good beer tap, but it'll be a special trip only.
