Today, Mon. Dec. 14 is "four calling birds", aka Eel River Raven Stout,� an organic heavyweight (9.5 percent ABV) in the Russian Imperial style from California.� Tomorrow, "five gold rings", is the burnished beauty Allagash Triple.� If you are feeling poor after all that consumer activity, remember each featured brew is just $3.� Coffee Bar manager Stephen Stetson adds that though they normally close at 8 p.m. Sun.-Thu. and 10 p.m. Fri.-Sat., he will be sticking around to accommodate those who wish to enjoy their beer a bit later.
