Cheer's to Five Years - Bakfish Homebrew Competition Beer

We didn’t end up in the top two… who knows where we actually finished, but this is one of the best beers we’ve ever brewed. Unfortunately, we had carbonation issues with this beer, but we had a blast making this one.

This beer celebrates, not only the best show of the 1980’s (Cheers), but also Bakfish brewing, Kris Szecsy, and the wonderful beer they’ve cranked out over the past five years.
