MASSIVE
Other breweries do beer tours and release parties, yeah. But it wouldn't make sense for a place called Gigantic to not do it up as big as possible. So that's why their tour and tasting also includes live music from Rich Hunter, and stand-up from Marcus Coleman and Caitlin Weierhauser. But while the party is big, the seating? Not so much. 50 seats and that's it.
Apr 6, 10 pm, Gigantic Brewing Company, $25

The Art of Fire and Fromage
