Need Pizza Cellar Club #1 Deets Emerge!

The folks at Need Pizza have a little something up their sleeves for the beer lovers in the area. Cellar Club #1 details have emerged and they look mighty promising. You might want to act quick on this as the allotment is understandably small. Here’s what’s going down and click HERE for Eventbrite link to tickets:

The January beer Event includes one pour, a take home crowler of the cellar beer and pizza buffet.

Featured beer is the 2017 Barrel Aged Darkness from Surly. This massive Russian Imperial Stout brings waves of flavors; chocolate, cherries, raisins, coffee, and toffee. Darkness is a limited edition variant that spent over three months aging in Woodford Reserve Rye Whiskey Barrels. The aging process provides a distinct aromatic whiskey character that is oaky and spicy on top of the core Darkness flavors.

We are expecting a fun group of people. Feel free to bring a bottle to share.

Tickets are $40 per person plus processing fee. Tickets sales are final.
