Southern Tier Tap Takeover at St Paul Luce
Update: It looks like the date was updated to 5/14. -RA
We all know Pizza Luce has great taps at all their locations to go along with the ‘za, and St. Paul is no exception (disclaimer: it’s a few blocks from my house, so I’m a little partial to the locale).
Well, they’re upping the ante next month and allowing Southern Tier to have as many of their taps as they want. And from the looks of it, that’s most of them! Porter, Pumking, Phin and Matt’s, Mokah, Creme Brulee, HopSun, Gemini, Oak Unearthly, Jahva, and 2XIPA will on tap for your enjoyment!
Not only that, but they’ll be giving away ST swag and they’re working on a legendary local DJ to spin tunes for the event!
