Summit IPA firkin at Groveland Tap

In order to celebrate Craig’s birthday, Groveland Tap is having a special 40th birthday party on April 18th including $5 forties (PBR, Bud & St. Ides… MNBeer readers’ favorite beers, no doubt 🙂 ) and more importantly, a firkin of Summit IPA. Tapping is at 5:00. Enjoy!

Edit: One firkin wasn’t enough for a 40th birthday, so they’re adding another… probably something from Bell’s. Drop in and wish GT’s manager Craig a very happy birthday!
