Mother’s Day Under The Big Tent

With summer like weather, the folks at Paradox Brewery have decided to christen their Big Beer Tent this weekend. Starting tomorrow, the tasting room officially moves to the Big Top – well at least for this weekend, pending any bad brew weather Mother Nature may have in store. And as a special treat for mom, they are rolling out what became an instant sensation with craft brew beer lovers last year (especially women, we are told) a batch of the pumpkin ale. Grab it while you can.

The tent will be open Saturday from 12pm – 6pm and Sunday 12pm – 4pm (The inside tasting room hours on Friday are 4pm -7pm).
