It's time for a wassail bowl (or mug) of Elf Ale. For you new-timers, Elf's brews are magical. You can drink all you want and feel happy, with never a headache nor a hangover. You can even pass a highway patrolman's sobriety test! My brews have a distinct flavor of their own (different for every brew,) but have the magical property of tasting however you might prefer it. If you hate beer and love brandy, for example, then it will taste like the finest cognac. If you can't stand alcoholic beverages, then voila! It magically is stripped of its alcoholic content.

This year's keg is dry-hopped with my beloved Cascade hops, with a hint of noble Czech hops for balance. The malt is made from two-row barley, and has a hint of chocolate malt flavor, but the ale is still predominantly grainy in character.

Bones, you may be wondering why there is only one keg sent to the Tavern this year, instead of the usual two (or six or ten.) That's because of an innovation this year. I've been practicing Elfin magic, and have finally mastered the spell that creates a never-empty keg.
