The inevitable Gravity Head errata: Right J. W. Lees, wrong package.

Something unexpected happens every year in the Gravity Head run-up.

For 2013, having passed beer lists back and forth for fact-checking numerous times, we somehow managed to miss that the scheduled ...

... is NOT packaged in the gravity-dispensed, counter-top, wooden pin as in the past. Rather, it's a regular keg, tapped the regular way. I missed it because I'm no longer on hand to log in shipments, and Eric missed my assumption that we were back to the old way of drinking J. W. Lees.

The keg still will be tapped as planned on Saturday, February 23, along with Big Dawg's Claymore.

“The Annual Patty & Larry Buckeye Contingent Visitation”

In a resumption of past tradition, the afternoon arrival of these hardy and perennial Buckeyes means tapping a special wooden pin of cask-conditioned, barrel-aged JW Lees Vintage Harvest Ale. In 2013, we’ll add Big Dawg Brewery’s 180-Shilling Claymore in honor of Lees-drinker-turned-pro-brewer Richard Shroyer. Look for all-day barroom duty.
