There will be special deals on retail packages featuring the event’s beers.
10/7 Friday, 5P — Firkin Friday @ Hamilton’s w/ AleSmith Evil Dead Red
This beer is really, really good. I’ll just grab the description from the website: “About this beer: Halloween is time for our annual Evil Dead Red specialty brew (available on draft only). Vivid mahogany color, good head formation and retention. Rich, chewy, toasty, malty flavors perfectly balanced by a moderate hoppy bitterness. Qualities: The aroma starts with a pleasant hop aroma followed by a nice malty sweetness. Well-rounded and well-balanced. Smooth, medium-bodied. Lush and rich on the palate with a semi-dry finish.” This beer is really, really good.
10/8 Saturday, 11am – 4pm — Taste of North Park
