On the first Thursday of 2013, we kick off Craft Beer Month at the Linkery with a Vertical Epic fest and Stone Tap Takeover.
The night before we first opened in 2005, Stone’s then-brewer Lee Chase knocked on our door with a backpack of brilliant beer, and he spent hours advocating to us the benefits of focusing on local craft beer. And since then, Greg Koch, Arlan Arnsten and the rest of the Stone team have been instrumental in supporting us and helping develop the whole craft beer beer movement in local restaurants. To them, we say, “let’s have a beer!”
