Week of Dec 11th 2010 Beer Menu

Hey Now! Hola amigos and welcome to this week's beer menu for the newly launched Rockville Centre Press 195. So far so good and we are thrilled to be here. The reception has been great and we are happy to introduce some great new brews to our fans! New this week, and one of my favorites, is the malty and delicious Blue Point Winter Ale. A draft of this works well with a bowl of our famous veggie chili, helping to simmer the spice!! Bottle wise we welcome the seasonal Magic Hat Winter from our friends up North. As the Magic Hat brewery welcomes new owners, I definitely feel the quality has picked up again and one swig confirms my theory. Also new to the list is Innis and Gunn from Scotland. This classic ale is aged for 30 days in oak barrels and that just puts it over the edge for me. A must have in my book!
