C.A.S.K.

Please join us at 9 Zero Pour for CASK’s first Pop Up Happy Hour. The event will be Wednesday February 20th from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. CASK members will receive $1.00 off each pint. Cheers!

The Hogtown Craft Beer Festival is Saturday, March 23rd at the Alachua County Fairgrounds.

C.A.S.K. will be participating again this year and we need to get a headcount on who wants to help pour and/or who is down to contribute a keg of beer for the festival.

Please e-mail Mike Lentz ([email protected]) if you would like to participate! If you plan to contribute beer, please let us know the style. Keep in mind, we need a minimum of 5 kegs!!!

Our goal is to follow up with the Hogtown Brewer’s by the end of February, letting them know our member’s names and their beer style.

We are looking forward to a fun event. Cheers!
