Can you say beer?

This morning, I picked up six cases from our friends at Bold City Brewery! They have been supporting us since way back in 2008 when we started.

This afternoon, I’ll grab another four cases of beer from Beer:30 - San Marco!

Come see us on Saturday between 1 PM and 4 PM at 210 W. 7th St.

Taste some handcrafted chilies and have a brew or two all in support of our amazing nonprofit community in Springfield.
