Dark Beer Season is just beginning and look who's just has Padraigs' NE Porter on tap!  @d_spot_wings !

Classic Irish Porters like Padraigs' are malty with a rich, full-bodied flavor profile with notes of chocolate, caramel, or coffee, and a less aggressive roasted bitterness compared to stouts, making it a perfect beer to accompany wings or a burger!

This one was extra fun! The Bison are playing a tree? WTF? 
What does a Sycamore even look like? 
Here's our best thought (notice the dent in the tree)

Stop by Padraigs this Saturday and catch the game. We have a REAL Bison named Archie (OK, just his head) but we don't have a Sycamore.
