Somehow I missed that Sedona Taphouse had joined in on the Belgian Independence Day fun yesterday. They were giving away the cool glasses pictured above but luckily they still have a few glasses left and will repeat the giveway tonight Thursday July 18th.
Here are the earlier details from Sedona; they are already out of the tulip glasses so I crossed it out.
Tomorrow, Sedona Taphouse, Belgian Independence Day.
