This month we begin our annual exploration of local produce with a number of foraged and local ingredients in most of these beers! Also, one beer is basically a tiki drink, and another beer rises out of the ashes after a long, diacetyl filled slumber.
Reservations start Saturday, 8/4 at noon, and go until Friday, 8/10 at noon.
Pickup day is Saturday, August 11th from 10 am - 4 pm.
