Tap Invasions at Ngon

By on February 28, 2012in bars/restaurants, beer events

To get people more acquainted to MN breweries, Ngon Vietnamese Bistro is offering up their 13 taps to a different brewery each month.  They’ll feature their beers & flights for the entire month, with a kick off happy hour with the founder and brewers, featuring specials and prizes. Sorta like a brewery tour outside of a brewery.

The first one will be with the brewery closest to Ngon, Summit Brewing. The kickoff happy hour will be on March 15th-the Ides of March–from 4pm to 6pm with founder Mark Stutrud.

Before you head to Winterfest, or maybe before you head home for your own local beer fest, stop by Thomas Liquors to start the weekend off right with Ben Poupard from Flat Earth. He’ll be pouring this Friday for the February edition of FFF. As usual, Fitty will also have a few other interesting beers up his sleeve to share.
