About the event
What is Battle of the Beers: 250 years ago, 1776, American and British forces were locked in a struggle for the future of our land. Today, that rivalry returns to the taproom through two Loco Lion brews.
In honor of the semiquincentennial, we are facing off the molasses-infused Colonial Cheer Black Lager against the honey-kissed British Retreat Honey Wheat Ale.
Try them both and place your vote in the ballot box. Winners (and losers) will be drawn on 4th July.
Cheers!
