Please join us for our 2nd Annual Scottish Ale Tasting. This is an opportunity to taste some of the finest ales created by Scotland's newest and oldest breweries. Since it is a party, we'll have plenty of food, including Nancy & Al's Scotch eggs.

Celtic/Bluegrass music will be provided by Bryan Conley and friends. The event takes place in Isabella's gorgeous backyard garden, so bring a lawn chair if you've got one!
