Pouring at the Flying Saucer

I know you are all probably heading to the Draught House tonight for Firkin Friday (see last post). But it's a longish (for some of us lucky souls) weekend so there is time to check out more than just one bar. The Saucer has some taps on in which you might be interested:

Wiesen Edel-Weisse
Harpoon Hefe
Magic Hat #9
SA Spring Bock
Rasputin
Real Ale Sisyphus 2008
Southern Star Blonde
La Folie
Maharaja
Hop Rod Rye
DFH 120 Minute IPA

It is a good time to be drinking beer in Austin. I would suggest you skip the Harpoon Hefeweizen and Magic Hat #9. You know what, forget that, try them, if you like them great, but I almost guarantee you won't.
