Well, we THOUGHT the weather was breaking for winter temps, but it looks this will NOT be our last Tree Bar weekend, whoo-hoo! We're not making any more firm decisions; we'll let Mother Nature move us when she's ready. We are tapping JOYFUL BUBBLES this week! A delicious, light, American Wheat that we brewed in collaboration with Vermilion River B**r Company. We are also featuring BARBECUE & BLUE PORK TACOS! Light a fire, warm your rump, and come hang in the woods ✌
