Dan Del Grande called me the other day and was on his way through town with a prized keg of his Chocolate Stout. We are fortunate to have this dark colored bitter sweet beer from Bison Brewing Company on tap. The bitter chocolate and the hops make a perfect match and balance with the whole flavored malt. Nice Job Dan. For more information got to www.bisonbrew.com

I was at Moylan’s and was lucky enough to get a couple of kegs of this excellent example of a traditional Kolsch. Light Straw in color, great German malt, mild hops just righht for the patio on a summer day. Thanks Denise!!! For more information go to www.moylans.com
