Tonight: IPA Takeover at London Grill
Today London Grill is being taken over by IPAs, and some great IPAs at that. Included among the IPAs are Firestone Walker Imperial IPA, Moylan’s Hopsicle, Founder’s Red Rye. All ten were tapped at lunch time and are available by the glass, the flight and by growlers too!
The food is getting in on the act too with a special IPA burger. The $10, 8 ounce burger is topped with pepperjack cheese, smoked bacon served on a pretzel bun with Green Flash IPA spicy mustard and cajun fries.
