Beer Bloggers' Tap Takeover
Join ReviewBrews.com and the Area Man Drinks Beer blog (Neighbeers) from the Boston-area Patch.com for a beer bloggers’ tap takeover at Stoddard’s Pub on Tuesday, March 12. Matt and Mike have pulled together an all-star lineup of small Massachusetts-based brewers that are hard to find inside of 128, with Newburyport’s Riverwalk Brewing Company, Norton’s Bog Iron Brewing and the Tree House Brewing Company from the tiny hamlet of Brimfield in western Massachusetts. Best of all, the pride of Worcester, the Wormtown Brewery, will be donating a keg of its beloved Be Hoppy IPA for the event. Donations from the pay-as-you-go event will benefit Pints for Prostates, a grassroots campaign that uses the universal language of beer to reach men (and those that love them) with an important health message. The PFP campaign raises awareness among men about the importance of regular health screenings and early detection. A registered 501(c)3 charity, funds generated by the group go to fighting prostate cancer and assisting men with the disease. In addition to funding its education and awareness efforts, Pints for Prostates supports other 501(c)3 organizations involved in the fight against prostate cancer. Us TOO International Prostate Cancer Education and Support Network, which works to support, educate and advocate for men with prostate cancer and their families, and the Prostate Conditions Education Council, which organizes free men’s health screening clinics across the U.S., are recipients of Pints for Prostates financial support. So join us to have a great time for prostates (in a totally not awkward way!) on Temple Place in Downtown Crossing, downstairs at Stoddard’s new The Friday Club, a venue devoted to local beers and spirits. 6-9 pm; free.
