Today’s the first day of American Craft Beer Week! To kick things off we’ve launched our Craft Beer Week Quiz. The person with the highest score will win tapping rights to the firkin on Thursday, May 20 at 6pm and Olde Main merchandise. You must be present on Thursday to win. If more than one person gets the highest score, we’ll do a random drawing right before the firkin tapping.
Take the quiz here or at the brewery until this Wednesday night.
