The Success of Session ales

Today we finished up the Pike Kilt Lifter a Scotch Ruby ale




 that was very well received by everyone at the pub. It was one of those beers that fit in the middle of the brewing spectrum Great color some malty notes in the mid palate and a clean finish that adds a level of pour me another drinkability. I think we had it in house for only 1 week, good pour through on 2 kegs.


Now on Tap
Delerium Tremens a Belgian Tripel at 8.5% ABV this is a sneak up and bite you in the posterior kind of ale it goes down smooth with layers and layers of flavor and an almost cherry finish but the alcohol will catch up to you quickly.
The Wikipedia write up on this beer talks about how Delerium Tremens is the state of withdrawal from alcohol poisoning or the DT's  hence the pink elephants on the label I can imagine that 5 or 6 of these could get you to that place.
Even in our little town there is a growing appetite to try something new and these beers certainly deliver on that, they offer the chance to expand your beer knowledge, experience a ritual pour in a proprietary glass and have something to talk about when the conversation turns to what have you tried lately.
