If you're a Brewery, BrewPub, or other establishment who would like their regular daily specials/events listed, please send updated information by March 31, 2015 to [email protected] to be included on the DAILY BEER SPECIALS page. This will make the Weekly Beermail not as long and with more relevant events. The DAILY BEER SPECIALS page will be completely revamped in April 2015 with current specials and events which happen on a consistent weekly scheduled basis. For example:
"Every Monday: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm: 50% Off Food & Drink" or
"Every Tuesday: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm: Trivia Tuesday" or
"Every Day: 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm: $1 Off Pints."
Thank you for your help!
For the rest of the BEER fans: thank you for your patience while this page is updated. Many of these specials no longer apply (but some do!) Cheers!
