Beer Release

by townhallbrewer＠hotmail.com

Hope Santa was good to you all- As part of our New Years Eve Dinner(some seating still available)we will release Barrel Aged Jester's Reserve Imperial Porter. ONLY ONE KEG! This was brewed in June and has been aging in an oak whiskey barrel since July. It is pretty strong and super good. That keg will be tapped for the dinner and the rest will be available to sell(if there is any left). This will be sold in 10 ounce glasses only. Sorry...with this one no intro price discount. Happy New Year Mike
