One tap is Blacklight Lager in the spring & summer and Ol' 23 Stout in fall & winter. Our current seasonal is Wit's Up, but it should be gone by the end of the week. The Hefeweisen will replace it."

Now on to the less relevant news!
Beer Goggles not as effective as BeerGoogle when looking for potential mates - This just in from the Sydney Morning Herald - beer goggles aren't a myth.
