What is that tiny door next to our Taproom door? 
It's a Clurichaun entrance!

HUH? What the heck is a Clurichaun you ask? 

The clurichaun is a mischievous Irish fairy known for his love of drinking and a tendency to haunt and protect breweries. It is believed that they are related to leprechauns and some folklorists speculate that clurichauns are just leprechauns on a drinking spree.

We're happy he's here to protect us!
