Several are making their debut. The line-up: 1. Redemption- Single blonde ale 2. Perdition- Belgian-style pale ale 3. Damnation- Strong golden ale 4. Salvation- Strong dark ale 5. Sanctification- Fermented with 100% brettanomyces 6. Desperation- Blend of Temptation and Pizza Port’s “Mother of All Beers” 7. Rejection- Belgian-style black ale brewed specially for Valentine’s Day 8. Temptation- Belgian-style golden ale aged in oak wine barrels with brettanomyces 9. Supplication- My favorite, so you better get there early! 10. Depuration- Temptation with Muscat Canelli grapes added to the barrel I can vouch for about half of these as evidence that Vinnie (brewer) can very nearly do no wrong. Febrewery could almost become my favorite month... Wed Feb 09 10:43:53 -0800 2005 0 Pius Avocado III
