700 Beers at the Muddy Pig

By on October 29, 2010in bars/restaurants, beer events

This coming Wednesday The Muddy Pig will be tapping their 700th beer.  Hard to believe 700 different draft beers have been served at The Pig over the last 8 years.  And so what do they have in store? How about a keg of Bell’s Batch 9000, a 12.5% imperial stout? And what’s 701? How about some dueling stouts to mark the occasion? Yup, they’ll put their lone keg of Surly Darkness at the same time.

Lots of questions, but they have the answers.  Mark it down.
