Mark your calendars for August 27th at 7:00 pm. Tyranena will be at Stub and Herb’s for a talk & tasting. I’ve been to all but one of these events and have had a lot of fun each time. Jon has a keg of Devil Over a Barrel and Scurvy squirreled away just for this event. Food and prizes as per usual. See you there.
