As the Special Export tagline gleefully stated, ‘You can travel the world over and never find a better beer’, this will definitely be the case on Saturday, April 6, 2024. This is when Grand Craft Beer will host The World On Tap at On Tap Bend from Noon – 6:00pm.
The mini-fest, The World On Tap, celebrates 18 worldwide beer styles such as Mexican lager, Japanese lager, German hefeweizen, Swedish farmhouse ale, and more including an IPA using exclusively South African hops. Then to take it one step further, on-site food trucks will serve international and regional cuisines while a one-day-only sugar shack offers locally-made, global desserts including French beignets, Peruvian sweets, and Japanese cream sandwiches. Yum!
