• Flying Dog Raging Bitch—a Belgian-style IPA
• Coronado Idiot IPA— a super hopped up ale brewed with eight different hops
• Ale Smith Horny Devil— a Belgian ale made with malts, candi sugar, fresh hops and coriander seeds
• Stone Arrogant Bastard— which as the name suggests is an intense and aggressive ale
• DuClaw Bare Ass Blonde— light colored, medium bodied and easy
• Goose Island Night Stalker— a jet black, dry hopped Imperial Stout
• Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot— a barleywine with a deep copper color and a malty aroma
• Clown Shoes IPA— a juicy ale; Arcadia Cereal Killer— full-bodied and packed with liquidy goodness

The beers weren't picked just because of their ex-like names; they are quality craft beer that any beer drinker would appreciate any day of the year. Erin Wallace, GM and Beer Conoisseur, carefully selected this draft list for all those who are sick of the lovey dovey Valentine's Day hype. Devil's Den certainly welcomes happy couples and the romantic types; the space invites warm feelings with a roaring woodburning fireplace, Chef Paul Trowbridge's delicious and fresh dishes, and an inviting ambiance of dark wood and warm hues. But sappy valentines beware… Thursday February 14th is devoted to Anti-Valentine's Day at Devil's Den.
