Grumpy's NE

Let’s forget for a moment that it’s technically summer right now. It doesn’t matter. Grumpy’s is throwing a party with 7 kegs of Surly beer on Tuesday. Said beers include Darkness, Smoke, Abrasive, Schadenfreude, Hell, Bitter Brewer and Mild. Starting at 5pm, they’ll be offering up $4 beers & $2 brats. They’ll also have games (bags and polish golf) and music by Nato Coles. One keg of each, so when they’re gone they’re gone. It’s outside with the Surly tap truck, so it’s rain or shine.
