Great Lakes April Fool's Project X

A bunch of the Great Lakes Brewery folks will be in Chicago for the Craft Brewers Conference next week, throwing a wrench into their monthly Project X night (they always take place on the second Thursday of the month).  Instead of canceling the event for the month of April the brewery bumped up the date to this Thursday, April 1st, and they'll be doing it up big, calling it Fools Day Fiasco.

From the Great Lakes Blog:
Calling all beer lovers! This month's Project X is bursting with BIG beers! And games!

Join us on Thursday, April 1 (special date) from 6:30 on as we tap 4, count em 4, cask ales. From the mad minds of Great Lakes staff, we bring you the following beers:

Miami Weisse - 4.5%, 50 BU
Wimpy Impy Stout - 6.5%, 80 BU
My Bitterer Wife Double IPA - 8%, 90BU
Triple Trouble Barleywine - 9%, 70BU (and aged for 6 months!)
IBU's, IBU's, IBU's.  Nothing less than 50!  *Sidenote - don't drink then drive....  The Barleywine is one cask that everyone is looking forward to trying, judging by comments overheard at the other cask nights, and I've heard that it turned out nicely. 

In addition to all the casks, Bryden's Pub will be on hand serving food from their establishment, and like all Project X nights there will be
