It's A Mad Matt World! Update!

Mathew J. Guyer, proud proprietor of the Beer Yard and, a all around good guy, is making his long awaited
return to bar tending this Monday night, July 26th at CAH, to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity.
30% of all proceeds that day will go to this fine organization. Mr. Guyer will be slinging barbs, jokes and drinks, literally, from 6 pm to 9 pm. If you can't make it between those hours, do not worry my friends. You can still help out the cause by stopping in anytime that day and writing Habitat on your check.

Now for the most important of all the news, what the hell will be on tap for this occasion?
(Sorry kids, no Brotherly Suds, but Victory instead)
St. Feuillien Cuvee de Noel
Troegs Mad Elf
Victory Summer Of Love Golden Ale

There will also be a full moon that night which may lead to some howling. A whole lot more howling might be happening Tuesday morning, I reckon.
P.S. Rumour has it that the esteemed Jack Curtin may show up. May God take mercy on our souls.

Yawnnnn. I just took a two month nap under the tree at CAH and I woke up to some very strange news. Someone said that PBW was still going to be in June. Really? No, really? I see I am going to have to tell another children's story  a little later on this week, entitled "The Emperors New Clothes"

Do You Saison?

Today at Mr. Matt's "I Owe Dan A Beer" Capone beer emporium, is his Saison event. Looks like he is slacking a bit with only 15 of them today. What about those other 15 taps? I guess am I going to have get to the bottom of this glass, I mean this. Sunny days and Saisons. Is there anything better? So here be the total tap list for the day.

Beer And Cheese

Is there a better combo in the history of mankind? I think not! So on Wednesday night at Ye Olde Craft Ale And Lager House, located in Limer-ford, there shall be a right smart bit of cheesy shenanigans going on with New Hollands beer guru, Dr. Joel and Calkins Creamery. I hear that their cheese is so good even the lactose intolerant crave it. And for the good Doctor, he is bringing several rare cases of beer to pair with said cheese. I think Homer said it best, mmmmmmmmm, beer and cheese. Or maybe that was just me.

Updated! Here is the lineup for tonight!

Poet Oatmeal Stout with Noble Road (soft, ultra-creamy, bloomy rind, mushroomy flavor)

2. Imperial Mad Hatter with Lida Gold (Montasio: hard italian with late fruit notes, washed with olive & tomato)

3. Mad Hatter with Misty Morning (naturally aged Welsh Cheddar)

4. El Ole Mocho with Udderly Hot (Havarti with Pocono-grown chili peppers)

5. Golden Cap Saison with Skinners Falls (unpressed basket Tomme - dry and earthy)
