Today dawns a new day for the Fountainhead crew, one seeing new Beer Director Mike Maloney take the helm to steer the place into further uncharted beer waters. (I don’t know why I went all nautical here, but it just seems to fit.)
They’ve arranged for nearly a dozen excellent Half Acre brews to pour to celebrate, including the awesome Akari Shogun (first time we’ve seen this one in a while) and a firkin of coffee-infused Over Ale. This is also a good time to state that the more Alpenglow you drink this season, the better.
Also just announced in the Fountainhead Newsletter: The scheduled open date (weather permitting) for Fountainhead’s awesome Rooftop Patio is March 16. Beer Geek Spring officially arrives that day.
Cheers, Mike. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with the place.
Event starts at 7 p.m., Fountainhead’s info follows.
As many of you all know our incoming Beer Director Mike Maloney will be starting March 1st! We are beyond excited to begin this next phase of Fountainhead! Our great friends at Half Acre are coming in to Roll Out the Red Carpet for Mike, as it were! Please come out and join us in welcoming Mike!
