Gravity Head starters named; vote now for the 16th and final keg (not firkin) starter.

Once again for the upcoming 11th edition of Gravity Head’s “Liver Olympics,” we’re allowing the fans to vote on the beer that will occupy the 16th tap.

Note: The starting lineup can be found here.

When making your choice, please remember that the beers listed below are the only ones eligible for selection. The list here has been edited to remove the beers already selected to start, firkins (we can pour only one at a time on hand pull), ones already designated to appear on specific dates, and those that remain in transit.

Vote for just one, and submit to your choice to me at this e-mail address - istanbul85(at)yahoo.com - before Noon on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.

The beers are American unless noted, and * signifies that it’s never been on tap at the Public House.

Have fun!
