Upcoming Events
Belgian Saison Showdown #1
Back in July John and JK went out to California for Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp. They brewed a Belgian Saison. Sierra Nevada also brewed a Belgian Saison using a different strain of yeast. The 2 beers were named Vice and Versa. Both have received rave reviews and now you can decide for yourself! We only have 4 kegs of each beer, so we will spread them out at special keg events over the next few months. The first 2 kegs will be tapped on Thursday, September 9th at 5 PM. The next 2 kegs will be tapped on Tuesday, September 21st at 5 PM. We will be giving away 2 sets of Red Sox tickets at each of the previous events for those who have not given up hope! On Tuesday Oct 19th at 5 PM we will tap the third set of kegs at a special Sierra Nevada night with Marty from Sierra and a few of their specialty beers they have brewed this year. The forth and final set of kegs will be tapped at our December Holiday Beer Tasting with Dan Shelton. The date for this event will be posted later. These beers will probably not be brewed ever again, so if you are into beer (you must be if you have read this whole message)...come down to ABC and try these wonderful Saison style brews!

Going into their 13th season at ABC, this band is very popular and we encourage everyone to come early to get a good seat. We do not take reservations for these Mondays because they are so popular that it is a first come, first seated event. Starts at 8:30 PM and goes until 11 PM
