Saturnalia MMVI: On tap today (12/29/06) at NABC.
Saturnalia MMVI started two weeks ago, and stocks are rapidly depleting. Here's a snapshot as we enter the last two business days before New Year's Eve -- and take note, NABC will not be open on Sunday, December 31, or on Monday, January 1, and furthermore, there'll be no Indiana carry-out sales on either of these days thanks to indefensible and outmoded "blue laws."
As of Friday, December 29 at 1:00 p.m., Stone's Oaked Arrogant Bastard is on tap. We weren't supposed to get it, but did. Enjoy. Also, NABC's cask-conditioned Strathpeffer is pouring on the handp pump. Run, don't walk, to get a taste of Jesse's and Jared's honey and heather "gruit ale," which is absolutely delicious, and won't last long.
Finally, there is a keg of Rogue Chocolate Stout in house, and it will go on tap when the next American microbrew keg blows. Could be tonight. Could be tomorrow. Bring a sleeping bag.
