The cask Winter Warmer should be available now. I'll be along one day this week to give it a try.

Also, Magnolia has two firkins of George Gale's Christmas Ale from England. This brewery has just been bought by Fuller's, so there's much uncertainty about its future. I'm hoping the Gale's will be on handpump this week too.

And finally, to celebrate Benjamin Franklin's 300th Birthday a whole slew of American brewers are making Poor Richard's Ale to the same recipe. Magnolia's goes on tap on January 9 in time for the January 17th anniversary.
