(WA) Winter Beer Series Continues with Elysian 01/25

Seattle, WA - As a friendly reminder to those who might be vowing abstinence from beer after this weekend Belgianfest, you might want to put that on hold.
If you are a regular visitor to the site then you heard about the Winter Beer Series, a celebration of dark beers from some highly recognized brewers. Back in December Bob Brenlin and Bill Jenkins kicked their three pub house beer, with Dark Days. With the Dark Days Black India Pale Ale, Bill Jenkins changed our perceptions of a Black IPA. Monday, Dick Cantwell hopes to improve your impressions on porter.

Cthulhu, as the beer was called by co-Owner and head brewer Dick Cantwell, is a dark hoppy monster. Compared to a "hoppy porter", this beer weighs in with seven different malts, and two hop varieties.

To make things even more interesting, this beer was brewed at Tangletown, or as some call it's Dick's Brewery. Based on the information that we received this beer is going to be a real hell raiser, when it's finally kegged and tapped.
