We’re thrilled to announce our latest installment of Alesong & Friends! Scheduled for Saturday, April 13 on our patio, we'll be hosting our friends from Block 15 Brewing for a wonderful afternoon of tasting their delicious barrel-aged beer and chatting with Founding Brewmaster Nick Arzner about what they do both in their barrel program and the other areas of their brewery to make amazing beer (and other beverages) across such a wide range of styles! Beers for the tasting are:

Cassidy 2023 - Wild farmhouse ale with flowers, solera style
Framboise Claret - Spontaneously fermented ale with red- and black-cap raspberries
Imagine 2023 - Bourbon-barrel-aged, Belgian-inspired, imperial stout
