Join us and our friends from in our Taproom tomorrow from 11:30 AM - 1 PM for a pint of “Story!”

Story will be featured all month long on draft and in the Burger and Beer special. Story is a 6% Hazy IPA.

Over the years, we have made it a priority to be involved in supporting cancer initiatives. Cancer has affected all of us in one way or another, and during May, we take a moment to remember those we have lost, those who continue to fight, and those who have won their battle.

May 2nd (5-2 Day) is our day of remembrance, and to honor the memories of our friends and family members, we have collaborated with Noon Whistle on “Story.”

“Story,” a Northeast IPA, is a rebrew of a collaboration with Noon Whistle we did back in 2019 called “Story Of My Life.” As with that collaboration, we are committed to donating $1 from every pint of “Story” enjoyed to Outrun The Sun, a non-profit organization whose quest is to find a cure for melanoma.

Outrun The Sun’s Mission:
(OTS) is dedicated to building awareness of melanoma and other skin cancers, educating communities about preventive measures that reduce melanoma’s incidence rate, and raising funds for melanoma research, leading to effective treatments and a cure.
