Beer: One Beetle Recognizes Another Irish Red Ale

Event: Irish Dance Showcase & Fundraiser with Scoil Rince Bréifne Ó Ruairc (7pm)

Irish Red Ales have been requested on and off since we first opened, and this is the first time we’ve ever made one. While we might not have enough to last us until St. Patrick’s Day, we will be celebrating the release of this first-ever Hot Plate Irish Red Ale with our friends from Scoil Rince Bréifne Ó Ruairc, who will be returning to the taproom for a special performance and fundraiser.

Every year, in honor of Pittsfield’s 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival, we release 10 small batch beers with 10 corresponding launch parties. This year, we’ve teamed up with local artist Cara Betti for this year’s design, and we’ve got a great lineup of special beers and events.
