Last Chance for The Beer Pairing Dinner On New Years Eve

This is your final reminder to call or stop in for reservations for our first New Years Eve beer pairing dinner. It starts at 5:30 pm and the last seats available for this are at 10pm. It also means there will be no other menu items available, except for pizza at the bar. Don't miss out on some great food, beer and live music!

No Cotton For Us

   It's hard to believe that it is time for our second anniversary this Wednesday night the 29th. Where oh where does the time go? Now for all you hopeless romantics, the 2nd year means a gift of cotton. Well, we ain't got much cotton here, but we do have big and small metal containers full of beer that you might like. So at 5 pm, we're going to start tapping some of them.

Russian River Blind Pig
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Russian River Consecration
Bruery 3 French Hens
Parkerford Brewing Lost Cause* (complimentary tasting on the house)

Now I know, that you know, that we are going to tap something else. But we can't make up our minds. It's tough when you have all this good beer in the back cooler. But don't worry, be hoppy, I mean happy. And thank you for another great year!

CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS

We will be closed on Saturday (Jan 1st) for New Years Day. We will reopen on Monday, January 3.
Hope to see you soon.

You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Nick is coming to CAH. He is making a list, checking it twice.

He sees you when your drinking, he knows when you are late, he knows if you've been bad or good, so you better be bad for goodness sake.
