This Thursday (10/24), we’ll be pouring satisfying pints of the cosmically tasty Super Astronaut Double IPA. Rumor on the street is we’ll also have tallboy cans available in singles and 4-packs. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind ale from one of our favorite local breweries. Buy the beer, keep the glass!
