You remember that song – the one with the tall bald guy jumping around and talking about hops burning, don’t you?! Eh, hops, beds, whatever. In any case, CNN reports that 4% of US hop crop has burned. Yikes!

Many thanks to Mike for sharing some information about a bit of a change-up with Town Hall’s hours on Saturday. You should probably be at Autumn Brew Review on Saturday anyway, but if you just can’t stay away from Town Hall, you may as well know when the place is open.
Thanks Mike!
Hey All,
We have a couple private parties going on this Sat. 10/7 that will change our hours for the day.We will open @ 12:00 for lunch as normal, but will close the inside of the brewery from 3:00pm-9:00pm. If the weather permits, the patio will be open for business as usual.
Sorry, no pint club hour this Sat. Again, we will be open from noon-3:00 and again from 9:00pm-close.
Sorry for any problems this may cause-
We still have tickets available for the Autumn Brew Review coming up this Sat 10/7.
Cheers
Mike
