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.
