Flying Monkeys Tap Takeover @ Gambrinus - Jan 28

Post by Milos »

Saturday, January 28, 2012 6PM

Adil, Peter and his crew of airborne primates have been busy during the holiday season preparing for another London first:
tap takeover.
We will clear all of our tap lines for 17 Flying Monkeys beers.
This might be your only chance to try wide variety of one offs from our favourite Barrie brewery
and / or
to claim your presence at a birth of future Flying Monkeys beer.
Come alone, bring your friends, ask your colleagues to join you,
help us make this event as memorable as possible!

Come early to avoid disappointments.

No reservations - No cover - No minimums

Stay tuned for beer lineup
So many beers and so little time!!

Looks like NRMan and Bearing are also coming so it should be quite the gathering! And the tap lineup sounds ridiculous. Thanks for the update Milos.
