It’s been a few weeks since you’ve heard from us, I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break and ready to jump into this new year because we’ve got a lot of booze news brewing! So with that, let’s tap this thing!
Strangeways Brewing will release its new brew, Freeze Ray Eisbock this Sat. Jan. 9. This beer is thick and creamy and interlaced with a prevalent chocolaty richness.
The whole month of January, Strangeways will also be supporting the Pink Ink Fund. The brewery will be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a $100 VIP Beer Tray— all month long, all to benefit Pink Ink. A winner will be chosen at the end of their CHEERS FOR CHARITY social which will be sometime this month. This is such an awesome charity. Check out our interview with tattoo artist Amy Black about Pink Ink Fund here.
This Thursday, Jan. 7, Isley Brewing will host its first Winter Ball. It’s a fun way to kick off the new year!
