For the fourth year, all of the Blue Nile’s taps turn over to nothing but big beers. This time, 4 Imperial Stouts, 4 double IPAs, and 4 barley-wine ales from 12 different American craft breweries. Starts at 4pm, runs until 9 pm, when the cover charge begins for our evening’s entertainment. Flights of 3 4-ounce pours are $7.
