Channel Crossing

Last night, I attended the unveiling of the new collaboration between Oliver Breweries and Stillwater Artisanal Ales @ the Pratt St Alehouse.   Hopefully, this won’t be the last of the cross-pollination between these two breweries.
Open fermentation, Belgian yeast, interesting hop choices make for a very drinkable beer with fruity esters and firm bitterness.    The variations of this beer presented last evening included a plain old draft, a french oak firkin, and 3 dry-hopped pins (czech saaz, kent goldings & bramling cross).  
Personally, I preferred the draft version.

    Had the draft and Czech Saaz last night as well (wish I could have stayed to try all). The draft was utterly delicious. The Czech Saaz was good, but didnt wow me like the draft did.

    I tasted all the versions, and I agree the Draft was my favorite as well. The carbonation moved the beer and was more crisp and refreshing than the cask offerings.
