September 15th is BEER BASH at B&TB!

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Butcher and the Boar

This month’s Beer Bash is going to be off the charts! There, we said it. And we’re going to back up that claim…check the details:

One of our favorite local bands (and a class act all around), All Tomorrow’s Petty will be playing not one but two full sets AND DJing too. With the live entertainment dialed-in, it’s only fitting to come correct on the tap takeover that’s happening that day. For this Beer Bash, we’ve partnered with Brash Beers and the folks at Clown Shoes to deliver almost 20 brews for this special day. Check the list:

This Sunday at our first-ever Crawdad Festival & Beer Bash, we’re releasing 3 brews from our pals over at Abita. Beginning at 3 (till 11), we’ll be releasing 3 Abita Beers; “Purple Haze”, “Turbo Dog” and “Andy Gator” brews.
