Glacier Ale Tapping It's time once again to help us help you—the Walnut customer. And by that, I of course mean forcing FREE BEER upon you. The Glacier Ale is back, but nothing like you remember it, so make sure and stop by to get a free pint during the tapping. Hopefully you will love the new effort, but if not, we can probably settle that out back tough guy. The Glacier is an India Brown Ale this time around, chocolatey and malty, citrusy and hoppy...everything you love and nothing you hate beer consumer. Enjoy! | ||
