Autumn Brew Review: Sold Out

Yes. If you’re riding the fence with regards to Autumn Brew Review, NOW is indeed the time to get tickets. Jeff sent me an e-mail today to inform me that they’re down to 11 tickets. That was at least an hour ago. Sold out. If you missed it, better luck next year…

Speaking of ABR, you’ll see a few new faces this year… Lift Bridge Brewery is planning on coming as are Vine Park and Furthermore, among others. As always, this event should be a good, good time. Don’t miss out!

And now, your moment of zen…
