Cocktail menu roll out tonight!!!

Hello my lovelies!
We are rolling out a new cocktail menu tonight, with specialty concocted drinks made with our Duck customers in mind (as you always are). There will be beer drinks and cider drink and mead drinks galore! Come down tonight and meet two of the owners of Hazelwood (who gave us their knowledge and aid in planning the drink menu!) They will be guest bartending with me! And the drinks will be cheap and plentiful! Sunday Funday, indeed!

Ommegange Game of Thrones Beer: Fire and Blood Red Ale

Ommegang is continuing it's brewing partnership with HBO and releasing the next beer in it's Game of Thrones (GoT) series:

Fire and Blood Red Ale


No... It's not named after this...

"It's a nice day for a Red Wedding"

It's named after the motto of House Targaryen, Fire and Blood, and is inspired by Daenerys Targaryen:



 and her three dragons:

Drogon

Rhaegal

Viserion

This Belgian-Style Red ale has been brewed with a rich malt character in the front and rounded out with a small amount of spice notes from Ancho Chilies and a lasting bitterness due to assertive hopping.  The color is a beautiful rusty orange and looks great in our Game of Thrones specialty glasswear.  But to be fair, I think all GoT beer should be served in earthen mugs.

Huzzah!

Cask this weekend!

Hello all!

We will be running our cask engine this weekend with an awesome selection from Machine House...

English-style IPA freshly dry-hopped with Australian Galaxy hops.  This hop variety is known for having a big tropical fruit note (passionfruit and citrus) and has a big presence on the nose.  Galaxy is perfect for dry-hopping and we are pleased to have this one on just for us!  Thanks Machine House!  

Come down and check it out this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!  Pair it with one of our awesome baskets of fish and chips (one of my favorite menu items) and save a buck off the price!   See you then!

And speaking of magic... some of our lovely neighborhood regulars from the awesome Greenlake Games (on Aurora) staked out on the reclaimed bus bench.  No need to hitch a ride, Dan, unless it's to New Jer-seeeey!
