EAST BOUND AND DOWN!

For immediate release 9-01-08

The GATE Presents:

The East Bound and Down Keg and Bottle Series!

Keg One:

FOUNDER’S CENTENNIAL IPA!
My buddy Curtis and I sampled this baby at Monk’s in Philly a few nights back. I
found it to be one of the most perfectly balanced IPA’s I have ever had the pleasure
of experiencing. This one’s gonna go real quick so git on down here and have a pint!

Centennial IPA
Selected as a benchmark for the Beer Judge Certification Program used in all American based beer judgings. Centennial IPA has quickly become the IPA of choice. Pour yourself a pint of this complex flavorful ale and bask in the frothy head’s floral bouquet. Relish the immense citrus accents, achieved by the abundance of dry hopping. This ale’s sweet, malty undertones balance the hop character with a finish that never turns too bitter. Specs: 7.2 % ABV46 IBU’s Color: Amber Unfiltered Cellar: 6 months Availability: Year round Serving temperature: 42 f Glassware: American pint

Also on draught now:

Jenlain Ambree
Green Flash! Summer Saison and Le Freak
Lagunitas Sirius and Lucky 13
Ramstein Double Platinum
Brooklyn Dopplebock, Grand Cru and Pumpkin Ale
Elysian Avatar Jasmine IPA
Ithaca Cascazilla
Heavy Seas Weizen Dopplebock
Cantillon Grand Cru vintage 2006

“East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Brooklyn and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.”
