The guys at Liftbridge, in an effort to totally destroy any productivity you were hoping for today and causing our economy to slip into a double-dip recession, have offered up the following:

FYI, we will have a cask of Double Hopped Crosscut Pale Ale at Grumpy’s downtown today starting at noon.
 
Have a great Friday.

Ha! Yeah, like we’re gonna want to pull ourselves away from our desks/mills/trucks/patients/johns and our responsibilities just to swill tasty beer with friends. Wait…that doesn’t sound too bad.

Do You Want to Brew on Saturday?

By on December 3, 2009in b.o.p.

If you have some free time this Saturday and have been thinking about getting over to Vine Park to brew some beer for your drinking pleasure, or maybe as a special holiday gift, here’s your chance.

Strange but true: due to a cancelation we have all six kettles available at Noon this Saturday. These are the only available kettles that get you beer before Christmas that are not during the normal work week. Grab them quick as they’ll be gone soon.
