Modern Monks Schwarzbier

The polka was playing, and the Schwarzbier was flowing.... The Modern Monks new Schwarzbier was tapped last Saturday at the Huber Haus. I decided to dive in head first, and get myself a liter right off the bat. Wise decision on my part...it was tasty, easy drinking, and well worth the $7.50 price. Most of the people I asked also had similar comments. Enjoy these pictures I took. Tonight I may have the Brothers’ Cup if it has been tapped. Keep up the good work, Monks.

Pyramid and Magic Hat

I just saw this and yes I am slow but check it out.

Pyramid and Magic Hat to merge.

I find this rather shocking news especially with the locations and the relative anti establishment nature of Magic Hat. It just strikes me as strange bedfellows.

What are your thoughts?
