We hope that the Holiday’s are treating you well! Thanks for all your support over the past year, we are looking forward to serving you in the new year. We will be pulling a few goodies from the cellar for New Year’s eve, we are currently deciding on just which beers we will pour. We will be opening a large bottle from Reuben’s Brews and one from Outlander (our neighbor) to ring in the New Year with a proper beer toast. Please come down and join us.
Just a heads up we will be closed both December 24th and 25th so our employees can enjoy the holiday. We hope you enjoy yours. While we are talking about being closed we will also be closed January 1st ( again for the holidays), Sunday, January 12th (for our employee holiday party) and will reopen January 13th at 3pm.
