One Last Reminder – See You Tomorrow at the Library Alehouse
As we get closer to our special day at the Library Alehouse at 2911 Main Street in Santa Monica, tomorrow, we have one last set of details to announce. First, we're going to hold the raffle for the New Belgium "Fat Tire Cruiser" at 9:00 P.M. tomorrow night live at the Alehouse. To win, you have to be present, so I encourage you to show up for an extended happy hour starting at 5:00 P.M. The featured brews will be a series from New Belgium Brewing, including one, Abbey Grand Cru, that I've never heard of before.
