Blackbeard's Kiss at the Zoo

The Friends of the National Zoo, known as FONZ, threw a party Thursday to benefit the Zoo. And it featured only beers (mostly local) and food from local restaurants. I was there a representative for Clipper City Brewing Company of Baltimore, Md. We were the only brewery to bring a cask —a firkin of Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale. On draft we were pouring Peg Leg Imperial Stout and Oxford Raspberry Wheat, which, in addition to pouring separately, we mixed together as a Blackbeard's Kiss.
