Watching podcasts "live" is always fun, especially seeing and hearing the real-time audience reaction!
Fun time last night with the @purpledailypodcast team in the taproom, the crowd interaction was fun, and the ugly sweaters added to the festivity!
(and yes, we sold a LOT of Red Chimney)

This weekend is the Winter Solstice, the 3 darkest days of the year.
For over 5000 years the Irish have been celebrating these days, when the sun appears to stop in the sky and finally after the shortest day the light returns, bringing with it the promise of the future.
Stop by Padraigs for one of our award winning dark beers and celebrate the darkness, or maybe the return of the light. Your choice, no judgement. Just drink the beer.

REMINDER: Irish beer doesn’t like to be poked, but it does like to be talked to, and of course gently quaffed. Cussing, especially use of the ‘F’ word encouraged. #irish #irishbeer #beer #brewery
