Not this kind…

This kind!

This Saturday, May 22nd between 1:00 and 5:00 pm we’ll be putting every Abbey style beer we’ve ever served in Maple Shade on tap!  That’s 8 styles in all including some rare barrel-aged and Brett variations.  If you want to try all of them we’ll be offering a sampler with four ounces each of seven of the styles.  One of the styles is a very limited release  and will only be available briefly.  At 3:00 pm we’ll be tapping a single pin of our Bourbon-aged Quadfather.  Below is a complete list with descriptions.  See you Saturday!
