No Beer For You!

By on July 28, 2010in brewpubs

At least not at Town Hall later this week…

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that this coming Sunday (July 31) and Monday (Aug 1) we will be closed. We are all headed to “the cabin” for our annual staff outing. Hopefully, we all return for business as usual on Tuesday morning (sometimes things get a little crazy at the cabin)

Those two days only ….No Beer For You….

Also, the August tour will be on the 7th (first Sat. of month) 1pm. Couple spots still open, call and reserve your space today.

SKOL,
Mike

Haskell’s Beer & Wine Cruise

By on July 21, 2010in beer events, breweries

Floatin’ down the river, drinking good beer sounds like a nice way to spend a summer evening, doesn’t it? Especially when someone else is driving the boat, keeping you out of trouble with the boat police.

Boarding at 5:30 pm, departure at 6:00 pm, return around 9:00 pm
