Get the Curse at Town Hall
It’s been a busy week for me, maybe for you, too. In case you missed the notice, Town Hall tapped Hamlet’s Curse, a traditional British style strong ale, on Monday.
Also, mark your calendars now and keep your eyes open for upcoming details on their Blessing of the Maibock Saturday, May 1st.
