Double Release at Town Hall

By on June 28, 2012in beer events, brewpubs

Next week is not just a holiday week, but a holiday week that kicks off with a double beer release from Town Hall.

Monday July 2 is a big release day! 1800 English IPA and Thunderstorm will be released at 5pm.

1800 is a great big English IPA that was formed from a recipe dated the year 1800. Made from the finest British Marris Otter Malt and classic English hops…..and a ton of them. This big guy weighs in at over 8%abv and will be priced a touch higher than normal for pints and growlers. Great American Beer Festival Bronze medal winner 2005

Thunderstorm is our popular summer honey beer that is always brewed in memory of one of our favoite and most energetic customers Chad Bacon, we lost Chad a few years back. This beer was one of his favorites and I regret to say Thunderstorm will never be the same without him, so here is to you buddy. Thunderstorm is made from honey that we get from Bar Bell Bee Ranch in Northern Minnesota. Their honey is great, and it really shows in the beer! We also use lemongrass to add to T-Storm’s citric note. Great American Beer Festival silver medal winner 2004

Due to the upcoming holiday we will offer the holiday growler pack for you! Starting monday 7/2 and running until friday 7/8 If you buy a growler of 1800, T-Storm, and a third of any other growler you will get a $1off of each growler. Growlers of 1800 and T-Storm will be ready for sale 5pm monday.

Monday 7/2 catch a release discount from 5-6pm on 1800 and T-Storm!

Have a great and safe July 4th
