“SOMMERFEST” TAPPING PARTY
Tuesday, June 26th
5:30 - 9:00 pm
Gordon Biersch Brewery - Restaurant
KÖLSCH STYLE BEERThis Kölsch-style pale ale (with origins in Cologne, Germany) is light and dry with just a hint of fruitiness. It’s a great beer to celebrate the days of summer!
Now, if that announcement included “and garlic fries will be half-off for the rest of the summer”, I’d approve it being announced via the Emergency Broadcast System.
