I somehow allowed both of my taps to go dry at the same time. I kicked the Victory Hop Wallop about a week ago and then the Dock Street Saison DuPotts kicked yesterday before I could replace the Hop Wallop. So tonight after work I was on an adventure. After running a few quick errands I went to Exton Beverage and picked up a sixtel of Red's Rye PA from Founder's Brewing Company. I have had this on tap at home before and it never disappoints. Then I went down the road to Downingtown and the Victory Brewing Company. I returned my keg ready to pick up another one and I noticed they had a sixtel of something called Gassy Jacks Bitter. Since I was unfamiliar with this beer I strolled out of the retail shop and into the bar to order a pint. The chalkboard signaled a 4.7% abv for this beer. Quite low for Victory I thought. Despite the low alcohol content I ordered one and to my surprise I really liked this beer. They call it an American Bitter. It poured copper with a white head. I was satisfied enough that I went back to the retail shop and got that sixtel to take home with me. It is a refreshing change to the usually extreme Victory beers.
Once home I thoroughly cleaned my system and replaced the beer lines. By the time I was done it was 10:30pm. I tapped both kegs and of course had to pour one of each. When I carried them upstairs my wife had already fallen asleep. Now here I sit with a Gassy Jack and a Red's Rye all to myself. Life is good.
