FRIDAY, AUGUST 28TH:

* 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm: WIDMER BROTHERS Tap Takeover @ Albertsons 16th & State - Growler Station: This event is really cool because we managed to get several kegs from them that are normally only available in their brewery! These specialty beers are never seen in package and are rarely seen in the Idaho market so I highly recommend you come see us for this great opportunity to try beers you may never see again! We will be doing our usual fill one, get one half off on your growlers during the event, and we will have our local Widmer rep Chad Carbis on hand to talk about the beers and answer any questions you may have. We hope we will see you here at the growler station for some truly unique beers at really great prices.  More Info Here
