Crafty Draught's Grand Opening This Saturday!

Crafty Draught, which officially opened it's doors just about a month ago (see this post), will be having their Grand Opening Celebration this Saturday, January 25th.  They keep posting updates to theirFacebook page, and it's definitely shaping up to be quite the event.  Most of the local breweries are all slated to be there at some point during the day.  Here's what we know so far:

• Frothy Beard will be getting their "froth" on from 11am-2pm
• Freehouse Brewery will be in the "house" from 11:30am-1:30pm
• Ed and Morgan from Westbrook will be "go(zu)ing" around noon
• Palmetto Brewing will be "gingering" in from 12-3pm
• Holy City will be "barreling" in around 4pm and staying until 6pm

Alright, enough with the sillyness.  Who's showing up to this event?  It's my birthday that day so I'll be ready for a pint once they open the doors.  In addition to the great local beer, and getting to mingle with our local brewers, they will also have cornhole, shuffle board, raffle prizes, and live music.  Doors open at 11am and goes until all the beer is done being poured!

Cheers!
