Yesterday’s keg toll

Posted by Patrick under Beer Travel

In spite of looming weather issues (and neurotic reloading of weather.com’s "map in motion" feature), we managed to pull off our little BBQ party.

We had a great turnout, and at one point it looked a lot like a day care center(!), but we managed to keep everyone busy. For the adults, we had four beers on tap — pale ale and coriander ale (pictured here), a brown ale, and a Hefeweizen that Sean brewed as our Nuptial Brau. I had two in the kegerator, and two in satellite buckets of ice, and managed to avoid too many serving issues.

I’d say our little posse — a mix of aging hipsters, neighbors and parents of a gaggle of young kids — managed to represent well. We managed to finish off these two kegs, and put significant dents in the other two. And, no five-year-olds doing kegstands. So we have that going for us.

I think it’s time for a pint of Nuptial weiss.
