Hardywood Gingerbread Stout Release Tomorrow

Here’s what you need to know about Hardywood’s Gingerbread Stout  release this Saturday November 17th.

Hardywood will be open 10AM – Noon Saturday morning for a pre-sale event for bottles, growler fills and merchandise.  If you’re looking to skip the lines during the party, this is when you want  to be at the brewery.  Now while the lines will be shorter, there will in all likelihood still be some wait.  My recommendation? Patience.

Now the main party runs from 2 – 9PM with Gingerbread Stout available in half or full pints as well as a special randall.  Bands Grease Trigger and Zep Replica playing sets starting at 4 and 6:45pm, respectively.

Whenever you head out for your Beeradvocate 100-rated beer, just remember to relax and have a good time.
