I'm enjoying this because A) It's delicious and B) It was only on draft at Schlafly's brew pub. No bottles, no kegs released to the public. Their brew pub sells kegs directly to the public, and I had tried to order one, but they told me they weren't selling that to the public. A week or so after that, I had a conversation with one of the brewer's during a private party at the Brew Pub, and I mentioned to him that I wished I could get a keg of the Hop Harvest for my kegerator. He told me I was talking to the right guy, and got me a keg of it. Liquid gold I tell ya.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver." ____________________________________________
We had a party about month ago and sampled 20 different beers to decide what Christmas keg to get. Rouge Dead Guy won. I picked it up last friday and it's been painfuly waiting in the kegerator for christmas. I have snuck a few

Merry Christmas!
