On Friday the 18th [...]

Join us on Saturday, May 7th at 6:30 p.m. as we celebrate the tapping of German Maibock. Maibock is medium bodied, bright golden Lager. Maibock means “May Bock”, and it signals that Spring is on its way with its assertive and spicy fresh hop character. With that in mind, i wanted to have a Maibock Festival.
