This Week On Tap: 08/27 - 09/02
For over 3 years, it has been a pleasure and a passion project to create your weekly roundup of new releases, special events, live music, food trucks, and MORE at our local craft beer bars & breweries. This will be the last edition of This Week On Tap. I’d like to extend a huge degree of gratitude to the venues that worked with me to supply their information week after week—everything we do has been in the name of supporting & growing our craft brew community. It was a labor of love that was always worthwhile. Scroll to find what’s new this week as well as recurring events! Curated, always, with so much love by Ace. Cheers friends!
