TODAY’S MARQUEE EVENT!
RFD’s 3rd Annual Coast to Coast Tap Takeover features tonight starting at 3pm! Breweries from regions across the country will take over all 45 of RFD’s draft lines! The back room will be the place to be to meet and mingle with hometown heroes because this space will feature local breweries. Reps from breweries from all of the regions will be in attendance to educate beer lovers and chat about beer. The kitchen will provide all night dinner features from the different regions. That not enough? This year, the Coast-to-Coast Tap Takeover will also feature live music from Free Lobster Buffet!
All beers from the 45 draft lines will be $5 all night. A $5 cover charge will see all proceeds go to St. Jude's Children's Hospital!
