Friday lineupdate for Gravity Head: Artemis 2IPA, 2nite.

By the numbers: We're heading into the third weekend of Gravity Head, with Friday being the 13th business day since we started the 12th celebration of all beers strong and wonderful. 15 listed selections are on tap, 28 have fallen, and another 17 patiently await their turns.

Among them is the Three Floyds mystery keg, which for a few hours was thought to be Dreadnaught, but fell through. Now I'm told it will be Behemoth Blonde Barley Wine. Not exactly a letdown, is it? We'll know when the truck arrives on the 16th.

Ted and Shannon Miller, owners of Brugge Brasserie, are conveying a keg of their Artemis 2IPA (an American, not Belgian recipe with an addition of Tarragon) to the Pizzeria & Public House as I wrote, and we hope that it will be tapped to replace something below by early evening. Mike says that the likeliest candidate for imminent cashing is a very light Rogue Old Crusty.

To see what's in line to replace the current lineup, go to the NABC web site and scroll down. And: Download the 2010 Gravity Form if you haven't already.
