Do you know if the $15 is the cover charge or does it get you a few beers as well?

Well Scott, it was last week. So you'll have to wait until next year.

$15 was the donation to Charity. Then you had to order beer as you wanted it. It was a good time(crowd) with an excellent assortment of IPAs ranging from 7-13%ABV. And the special menu was all hot(spicy) items. I don't think the Publick house is typically open between 12 - 4 on Saturdays. This place has great brews and food. Definitely a place to check out if you like high end pub fare.

In my opinion having all those beers was kind of a waste with this format. They probaly had 20 IPAs and at that Alcohol level no one's having more than 4 or maybe 5 without passing out. It would be nice if they offered samplers and you could try them all.

Oops. Don't think I could've made it this Saturday anyway. There must've been a lot of people passing out way before their beds times with those kinds of potent brews. Next year.

Agreed, that many high alcohol beers is hard to taste too many. I managed to try half of them, but only because the wife came with me to help out and share a few. The Mojo Risin Double IPA was my favorite I think. It made for a long day at Bradford Mtn on Sunday...
