The Guinness keg finally kicked last night. I say finally because it has been pouring very slowly for the past few days. I had just returned from Quiznos with warm food in hand, and went to pour my dinner Guinness when all the came out was spattered liquid and lots of gas.
I’m going to return the empty keg on Monday or Tuesday, and in the meantime I have put the raspberry wheat (that I picked up from Iron Hill Brewery back in May) back on tap. That should last another week or two, who knows!
Are there any requests for the next beer? I want something that’s a bit of a crowd pleaser (because I sure as heck can’t drink that much by myself!), something that has a bit of novelty (microbrews and higher class commercial beers fit this bill), and something that can be pushed with CO2 (at least until I get the leak in the nitrogen tank fixed). I was thinking about sampling some beers out at Old Dominion, drinks I’ve had there have always been good. I could always put their Old Dominion Root Beer on tap!

Gotta be a local brew. I’ve heard mention that Capitol City Brewing Company is good, don’t know if they do kegs?
But it’s gotta be a man beer. Either a brown or a red ale. And preferably something high in % alcohol.
Then I can be proud of you.

Cap City is great! The only problem is that their regular beers are what I drink when I go there, and I don’t want to wear them out because I drink their stuff at home. And since they only brew small quantities of their seasonal beers they rarely distribute those in kegs. There are a few larger breweries in the area, my goal this week is to order sampler platters from each of these places to try out lots of different beers!
Also I agree with the high ABV, Guinness was pretty good in that department! Does that count as a man beer?
