(Updated Saturday, March 24 - note that the Schlafly event scheduled for Sat., March 24 is being postponed)
As of Monday morning, March 19, eight business days have been devoted to the Gravity Madness of Gravity Head 2007, and already 15 beers are gone. Counting multiple depletions of smaller sized kegs, that's roughly 19 units in all.
Here’s how the current lineup is looking after the first two weekends of Gravity Head 2007, but first, the errata and inevitable scratches as presently are known.
(1) New Holland Pilgrim's Dole apparently is a scratch -- quite an odd phenomenon owing to reasons that I won't cite ... just odd. But it happens. Coming as a substitute is another Michigan classic, Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree IPA.
(2) Stay tuned later this week as deliveries are made. The situation will be clearer on Thursday.
