Funkwerks Takeover at Brewer's Republic / 4:00pm
The taplist isn't completely in yet but we'll get that posted when Brewer's Republic sends that to us. If it's anything like the Elevation Takeover I'd say this is a not-to-be-missed event. You can meet the Funkwerks brewer starting at 4pm and I'm sure they'll stick around for you a while. What a great series of events coming from our local bar! **UPDATE**
