The Red Hot will tap Everybodys Brewing Dry Hop Country Boy IPA, The Parkway will unleash Georgetown Brewing Lucille IPA, Doyle's will pour Fullers ESB, The Swiss will serve Dicks Brewing Co. Imperial IPA, Engine House No. 9 will tap E-9 Dry Hop Imperial Red and Meconi's will serve a brew to be named later.
