Battle Mountain Goodbye Party
From Facebook:
This community has become family to us. These walls have seen smiles and felt laughs, that we will forever hold dear to our hearts. It is harder than we could have ever imagined to say goodbye. To our regulars, we cannot even begin to say how much you mean to us. You are our family and we will forever kick the asshole at the end of the bar, off their stool, so you can take a seat.
Please, come visit us at our new home in Castle Rock. We can't wait for all the smiles and laughs to fill the walls up there. Join us for our last day in the Springs, our owner Greg is going to man one last watch from the mountain top and would love to see you there.
LOVE,
Battle Mountain Brewing Company
