YOU OUGHTA KNOW!
THE LEGION OF FUN PRESENTS….
BLIND TASTING SERIES
Come one, come all to the Tap Room or the Pub to be given beer…while blindfolded!
From Monday, October 7th to Sunday, October 13th, come into either the Tap Room or the Pub to taste select beers and then guess what those beers actually are! You’ll be given a sheet of paper to turn in where you list your answers. The winner will be announced on Monday, October 14th (the Monday after it starts). If there is more than one winner, we will have a showdown…winner take all...and by all we mean a gift from the goody drawer. 😉
Instructions to Serving Staff:
Pub Bartenders: Goody will give you a list of beers that you will pour for people throughout the week. Don’t forget to have them wear the blindfold when you’re pouring, we don’t want any lookie-loos!
Tap Room Staff: You will be given the list of what to pour by Keke. Again, don’t forget to have the people wear the blindfolds while pouring!
For Pub Bartenders or Tap Room Staff, to participate just go to the other location (i.e. Pub➡Tap Room, Tap Room➡Pub).
Please only submit one entry from one location. That way everyone has a fair shot at winning!
Also feel free to share your taster flight with someone who is already there and also wants to participate. Less glassware=less dishes=helping out the earth! If you have any questions, please let Julia know via HotSchedules.
Lastly - we would like to thank our very own Dylan Prentiss for this idea! Thanks Dylan, you rock!
