This month we're featuring Magic Hat's Heart of Darkness, a roasty stout that weighs in at 5.7% ABV.Magic Hat's description:"Filled with the howling of black dogs that haunt the long forgotten shadows of the human soul Our inky-black stout had a smooth, round palate with a dreamlike undercurrent of bittersweet chocolate. This dense liquid-silk summoned hope from hibernation and balanced winter’s endless white snows with a rich swirl of creamy black rapture."See you there!JeffSee More

Get ready for a fun meeting.  Karaoke, Rock Bottom's Madame Berry Blonde...and more karaoke. It's rare to see a Rock Bottom brew here in Erie, so take the time and join us.  Here's a description of this beer: "This local favorite is brewed with copious quantities of strawberry to provide a delightful berry aroma and a subtle fruit sweetness perfectly balanced against the slight tartness of the base beer."  Sounds good to me!May the beer be with you. Jeff!See More

Join us for some Hofbrau Maibock!  We've not featured this style of beer yet so we figured it's time (Heller Bock, that is).Hofbrau's Maibock is primarily a malty beer from the German brewing tradition with little hop character - neither bitter nor aromatic - though the style typically has a little more hops than the standard Bock. The color is golden to light brown or amber.Bring on the German beer!JeffSee More
