Oh, baby I love the way…

SPRINGTIME MAKES ME FEEL!!! Are you not stoked to see all this greenery popping up? From new leaves on trees, Biden Bucks in you bank account, green with envy friends over your vaccination status… heck, maybe you had a pint of green beer! You might have started to think Austin is looking a lot like the Emerald city these days. This wizard would agree with you.

So, Dorothy in the event we’re seeing the same things, I’d happily call you a friend of mine. But don’t go sleeping in a field of poppies girl!!! There’s too many cool new beers here at Whichcraft for you to come try. We’ve got nothing to hide behind a curtain. There’s a new brewery in, Boulder Brewing. They’re some of the OGs in the Hazy IPA movement. Plus, their packing will have you looking for a spare frame around the house. We’re also not sleeping on our draft game. By the end of the weekend I expect we’ll have 8-10 new kegs on… So you totally need to come pay us a visit!

It’s the last week for March’s Brewery of the Month, Brazos Valley. Come get those 6 packs of Mama Tried, Willin’, and Two Step, all coming in at $7.99, while we’ve got ’em!

We hope you folks can make it out in between these forecasted showers. But remember it’s Austin. Just wait five minutes and the weather will change.

Later Y’all!
