Are you bored? Here`s an idea!
Every Thursday at 7 PM we host trivia by @triviamafia in our taproom!
We give away a minimum of $50 in prizes, beer flights and of course have a great time in our pretty cool taproom.
You`re gonna be here a while, so in addition to our award winning beer we stock a ton of NA and THC drinks and we serve HOT Heggies Pizza, Potters Pasties and Aki`s Pretzels.
Make Padraigs your home for Trivia!
