Hello New Brighton!
Padraigs Brewing`s Irish Red Ale is on tap at @adagiospizza !
Stop in for a pizza and a pint or two of Irish red.
Brewed in NE Minneapolis from imported ingredients, one sip will transport you to the Emerald Isle where they have been drinking red ale since the 9th century.
Probably a good thing if it`s been around that long.
