From Flying Dog:
On Friday, December 21, we’re leaving together at Max’s Taphouse, but it’s still farewell. And, after 56 of our beers on draft, maybe we’ll come back to earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame, except the Mayans; we’re leaving ground. Will things ever be the same after the largest tap takeover in the history of the world?
It’s the Final Countdown. [Cue guitar riff.]
Starting tomorrow with tap #17, we’re counting down all 56 beers we’ll have on draft at Max’s for the End of the World. Why 17? Since our days are numbered, we’ve lumped our year-round and seasonal releases into one, only leaving room for the rare before the rapture:
If we learned anything from Dick Clark, it’s that adult diapers are a must for camping out in Times Square for New Year’s Eve.
He also taught us that every good countdown needs a few recaps. So, here’s a look at beers 1-28 that will be on tap at Max’s Taphouse for the End of the World.
Announced today are ALL SIX of our Single Hop Imperial IPAs released in 2012:
In preparation for the end of the world, we’ve been scrunchie shopping with Steven Segal and plotting the death of Nicolas Cage. We’ve also been counting down all 56 beers we’ll have on tap Friday at Max’s Taphouse for the largest tap takeover in the history of the world for the end of the world.
