Also, we've decided to add a cask-conditioned firkin of NABC Malcolm's Old Setters Ale to the opening day Gravity Head 2008 lineup because there's space on the handpull.

So, it's now the case that the “fan selection,” to be chosen by you from the list provided below, will be the 18th starter.

Vote for just one, and submit to your choice to me at this e-mail address - istanbul85(at)yahoo.com - before Noon on Thursday, February 28.

Please vote just once per person. Be sure to take note of the status of each beer as reflected in the following lists. Some are starters, and others already are designated to appear on specific dates. Some are in-house and eligible for “fan selection” votes, while others remain in transit.
