Brickskeller to host epic events leading up to Savor

Didn’t get tickets to Savor ? Don’t feel bad, many people got left out as this year’s event sold out in just 10 minutes. The good news is many local bars will be holding special events leading up to Savor so others can get in on some of the Beer Celebrity action. The Brickskeller has put together an amazing list of events that rivals the Savor event itself.

Wednesday June 2 – THREE FLOYDS

The fantastic midwestern brewery returns to our stage offering many incredibly hoppy gems including the namesake for the famous annual GABF competition, the Alpha King challenge! Meet the Floyds themselves and our old buddy and formerly local brewer Barnaby Struve who now brews there in his welcome home return to the city and taste at least EIGHT of their great beers, many rare brews never before available in the area!

Friday June 4 – The Lupulin Reunu-less
Never has less been more!
Our 3 years of Lupulin Slams became some of the most famous and fabled beer events of all time. The Lupulin Reunulin continued the tradition.
This is quite possibly the most impressive list of industry leaders and trend setters we have ever presented in our 28+ years and over 600 event strong history of beer tastings!
