(And, unlike in November, you don’t have to worry about the electoral college getting in the way of the popular vote!)

Just got word from Flying Fish that they’re bringing back their limited-edition, Valentines Day brew: Lovefish!

“Our Abbey Dubbel is infused with dried organic cherries and then keg-conditioned for a taste that will put everyone in the mood–at least for another pint.”

It will only be available at the following bars in the South Jersey / Philadelphia area: Hulmville Inn, Bucks County; Drafting Room, Chester County; PJ Whelihans, Westmont, NJ; and then in Philadelphia Cherry Street Tavern, Good Dog, McGillin’s, Standard Tap, Johnny Brendas, Grey Lodge, Old Eagle Tavern, Flat Rock, North 3rd, Ten Stone, Monks, St. Stephen’s Green, White Dog Cafe.

Enjoy!
