Here’s What to Drink at The Birthday Party
The official beer list for The Birthday Party.
At this time last year, we were in Pittsburgh at Dancing Gnome brewery throwing the very first Juicy Brews craft beer festival. It was a celebration of Dancing Gnome’s first anniversary, and the beginning of what would grow into our nation-wide festival circuit.
We had such an amazing time last year that we immediately knew we’d be back for round two. This time, we’re throwing the ultimate birthday party in celebration of Dancing Gnome’s 2nd anniversary… they grow up so fast. The Birthday Party will kick off on September 29th in Dancing Gnome’s back yard. We’ll have delicious birthday cake, streamers, and–rumor has it–a balloon artist. We also collaborated on a special birthday beer: Eat Your Greens, a double dry-hopped double IPA. The collab beer will be available on draft at the fest, and in cans on Sunday, September 30th, at Dancing Gnome, along with some limited-edition Sam Taylor-designed glassware.
So get your party hats on and help us wish Dancing Gnome a very juicy birthday. Check out the beer list below.
