Fa La La La La!
The big dogs at Double Mountain never skimp on killer beer. Hell, even their Dapper Dan brown ale is dope. Tonight you can join DM brewmaster Matt Swihart at the best bar on Division Street, Victory. Here, owner and barkeep Yoni and the crew have been pining for a release party, so here it is. Deck the halls, jingle all the way (is it even Thanksgiving yet?), and have a cup of cheer aka Double Mountain’s seasonal hoppy beast known as “Fa La La La La.”
Says DM’s Charlie Devereux in a recent press release “Fa La La La La is our winter ale offering, packed with enough rich malt and Centennial hops to fill Santa’s toy bag.” Though Swihart’s beer and presence are the real presents, t-shirts will be raffled off (“Don we now our gay apparel”). Devereax warns “This one should be packed, so make it over early if you can.”
Deck the halls with kegs on dollies,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
DM’s is dope and others sterile,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the Blazers hoop before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Many rich beers are here to pour us.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow Matt in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
He will unveil a hoppy treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Wassail brews, leave some on asses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
We’ll even quaff those made with heather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
There’s even gruit sours with holly,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
Thank the lord for Matt and Charlie,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
Fill the mead-cup, drain the barrel,
Fa la la la, fa la la la.
Troll the ancient Christmas story,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
See the flowing bowl before us,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
Yoni pours the best beers for us.
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
Follow him in merry measure,
Fa la la la, fa la la la.
While I sing of bottled treasures,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
Raise a brew, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, fa la la la.
