Old Ale or Barleyine? Who cares!
The Flying Saucer's Barleywine Week started last night and looks to be the star of this week's draft events. It seems like the weather should be more harsh during Barleywine Week, but hey, I can drink a hefty beer on a rainy 62 degree day. I can power through it.

Also of note, Six Row Brewing is getting things rolling with a Meet the Brewers event at All Star Pizza on Friday. Can't wait to start getting more St. Louis craft beer here in KC. Finally, I was hoping to to a post about the upcoming inaugural Kansas Craft Brewers Expo, but it is already sold out. Did anyone get tickets in time? Let us know how it is.
