Double Release at Town Hall

By on March 28, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Check out Town Hall tonight for not just one, but two beer releases.

Hello Town Hall Drinkers,

We are calling for an end of winter!

So Monday 3/28, we will be releasing our German style Hefeweizen. Which is as sure a sign of spring as the return of the robins. This beer is your classic Hefeweizen, with hints of clove and banana.

We will also be releasing North West Angle. A pale ale brewed with Willamette, Warrior, and Summit hops from the Pacific NW.

So come in for the release and help us bring on the change of season.

Here’s to SPRING,
Town Hall Brewery

Patio Opener at Moto-i

Weather, be damned! The calendar says it is Spring and Moto-i is on board with the plan.

Thursday March 31: the moto-i patio opens. For real. We’re pouring $1 taps & spinning tunes from 2:20-7pm, extending happy hour & calling for the melting of that dirty snow!

Tell your friends, ride your bikes over, shrug off your coats. Spring is a state of mind.
