Happy 2 days before Halloween folks. Just a quick update about a few exciting things going on at Prime 16.
#1 Wednesday 10/28, aka yesterday, we tapped a 30L of My Antonia. For those of you that aren't familiar with this beer...from the Dogfish Head website "Sam brewed My Antonia at Birra del Borgo (hope you can read Italian) outside Rome, Italy with owner/brewer Leonardo DiVencenzo in October of 2008.
My Antonia (named after the Willa Cather read), is a continually-hopped imperial pilsner. This beer was brewed and distributed by Birra del Borgo. A small quantity was sent over to the United States." The small quantity they speak of is 28 kegs. That's right, as far as we know, there are 28 kegs in the entire country and we have one of them so get your beer lovin' butts down and try some before it's gone.
#2 On the subject of Dogfish Head...as stated in the last post, we are planning something big with the Dogfish Sierra Nevada collaborations "Life and Limb" and "Limb and Life". As it is looking right now, we are shooting for sometime in early December. Keep your eyes and ears open...

Against my better judgement I've returned from the island of Oahu. I now understand why so many people never return. Sun=great, surf=great, Maui Coconut Porter=sweet but definitely good. But enough about me, lets talk about whats going on in the world of Prime 16...
Lets start with the "special" things. There are a few beers we've had or will be having that are definitely worth the trip. For those of you that missed the Dogfish Ancient Ales and the Sierra Nevada Estate...I'm sorry. We do have another Sah'Tea in da house but we'll be saving that for a rainy day. If we get any of the others you'll definitely hear about it. As for the much anticipated Dogfish and Sierra collaborations...the Limb and Life is scheduled for early to mid November and the Life and Limb should be a couple of weeks after. The plan for the two (as of now) is to have a special night of collaboration. Both beers on tap as well as a Sierra Seasonal and a Dogfish seasonal with representatives from both breweries in attendance. I'm thinkin there may be some cheese involved as well. Keep an eye out for this one.
Belgians your thing? There is now even more to choose from. Thanks to Lanny Hoff at Artisanal Imports and the fine folks at Drinx Unlimited we will now be throwing Kwak, Karmeleit Tripel and Urthel into the mix with even more to come in the future.
So if you're like Bob or myself, this is one of your favorite times of year because no one looks at you funny when you polish off an entire pumpkin pie like it's going out of style. While there won't be pumpkin pie available daily we will be featuring pumpkin ales until the end of November. Weyerbacher Imperial, Southern Tier, Smuttynose, Shipyard...just to name a few.
On a final note folks, just a few more up and comings to keep you eyes peeled for...
Brooklyn Manhattan Project
Sierra Nevada Wet Hop
Great Divide Fresh Hop
Sierra Nevada Stout
Smuttynose Big A Ipa
New England Brewing Co Double IPA
Old Engine Oil
