Flat Earth’s Northwest Passage is a beer all of you hopheads have probably tried in the past and may have even taken home a growler of. Well, now you have another option that falls midway between a pint at the bar and a full growler in your fridge: bombers!
Tonight you can sample it, you know, just to make sure you really like it, and buy bombers of it at The Four Firkins .
