Going to the @tcirishfest this weekend? 

Be a proper gentleman and have a Padraigs Pub Ale, which balances low alcohol with rich, complex malt flavor and is ever so gently carbonated—so it's refreshing, easy to drink in multiples and never leaves you full or bloated.

Gentlemen should never be bloated. Have another.

We recently started selling NA beer from @gobrewing and it's been extremely popular! Come in and try one!
