Beer and Bacon

Join the bacon craze! Lots of things go with bacon, and beer is no exception.

Join us on Tuesday, April 27 for Beer & Bacon at The Muddy Pig. Starting at 5pm on the 27th when you purchase a glass of Two Brothers Heavy Handed or Two Brothers Domaine DuPage you will get a side of bacon to enjoy with the beer (until the bacon runs out). Muddy Pig tapas. So why beer and bacon? I don’t know, it just sounded like fun. See you on Tuesday.
