If any of the offerings run out, trust Al to pull out a mystery beer to fill the space. So make plans to head over to the Blue Nile and belly up for a night of Belgians.

This is a great beer to take to the lake (or what ever) for your upcoming holiday weekend. Remember if you buy 6 growlers or more you get $1 each growler

Thanks to all that took place in Beer Week, hope you had fun

Have a great holiday weekend,
