Please note that this week’s cask will be tapped tomorrow: we’re switching to Fridays for that from now on.

The beer we will have

Available tomorrow:

• A cask of Frank with Chinook hops
• and, hopefully: Saison #2!

What else we’ve been up to

• The art of delivering beer, part two, which caused my wife to ask why a picture of handcuffs was in our Photo Stream
• Ethan co-wrote a book about Buffalo Beer, appropriately named Buffalo Beer, which you can find at your local book purveyor, or us directly!
• Did you forget about our fifth book club? I hope not! I had forgotten what an amazing book it is, especially when paired with a good IPA
• Dungeons & Dragons & Beer, Part 3: Plop Turd, a whirlwind of a gaming session
• Hmm, whatever could those grains up by the beer list be?

Other nifty beer things

• A recent history of Buffalo’s brewing scene from Buffalo Business First
• This week’s Sunday Read: A Modest Proposal for the Removal of the Word “Craft” From Beer, which may be one of our more controversial reads
• Know Your Local Beer Names, a quiz from WNY Craft Beer Magazine devoted to local breweries’ offerings (hint the answer to #1 is in this very post)

And finally

• I admit that I have thought about how to make myself seem like a wizard if I get transported back to the past on at least a semi-frequent basis.
• The Ghostbusters casting announcement:
