Bottle Share- Fat
Hill Brewing, 17 N. Federal Ave (641-423-0737). Join Fat Hill Brewing the
second Thursday of each month from 4-8pm for Bottle Share Night! Craft beer
lovers are encouraged to bring at least 16 ounces of a new, rare, old, oddball
or just plain delicious beer they'd like to share. Whether it’s a 2004
Cantillon Loerik you traded a kidney for, or just a great pale ale you had at
the tiny brewery near your grandma’s house last weekend, beer geeks are
encouraged to bring anything they’d like to share. If you’re a big enough beer
nerd to have a favorite sampling glass, feel free to bring it. If not, we’ve
got a clean glass for you! This is a casual, come-and-go-as-you-please event.
There is no fee, but we do suggest a generous tip for your friendly bartender
who will be cleaning up after us all night. As always, over-imbibing is not
allowed. Hard alcohol is never allowed in our taproom. The bottle share is for
beer only. http://www.fathillbrewing.com/
