It’s a spooky time of year and so The Stable brings back the Monsters of Beer festival.  On October 24th from 1PM-4PM, your $25 dollar ticket allows you to taste fifteen different 3oz pours of some monster beers with a commemorative glass. Only 175 tickets are being sold for this event, so you should buy them as soon as you can from The Stable or The Rotten Apple.

The poster says a lot, but it’s not giving you the whole story. The first of what is hopefully many festivals at The Stable contains truly some Monsters of Beer.

Your $25 dollar ticket allows you to taste fifteen different 3oz pours and you get a commemorative glass with a photo of the poster above on it. Only 175 tickets are being sold for this event, so you should buy them as soon as you can from The Stable or The Rotten Apple.
