Is there smoke in the air? Or do brewing minds just think alike? Anyway, another release this week that brings images of flames to mind.
Be at Rock Bottom by 6:00 pm for the tapping of Fire Chief Scotch Ale and the first pint is on the house.
The next seasonal release for Granite City will be their Burning Barn Irish Red and they’ll be rolling it out on Sunday with a Mug Club Party.
As with all Mug Club Parties, there is no cover charge, it’s open to all Mug Club members (and one guest) and there will be a complimentary appetizer buffet featuring corned beef and cabbage, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad and rolls.
Not a member yet? Donate $5 to their Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of MN Fundraiser that day and a free membership is yours.
