Asian Heritage Month
Happy Asian Heritage Month! The Asian community is vast and wonderfully diverse. For over two centuries, immigrants have enriched Canada's cultural tapestry, hailing from East Asia, Southern Asia, Western, Central, and Southeast Asia. Their contributions have gifted our society with a mosaic of languages, ethnicities, and religious traditions. Let's celebrate this rich cultural heritage not just this month, but every month!

FRESHLY SQUEEZED - TRY OUR HOUSEMADE BEER from Neustadt Springs Brewery
Can you believe they let us name it? Get a squeeeeeeeze of this pale ale, easy-drinking but hazy, made with oats and orangey citra hops. Lactose seals the creamsicle deal here, which, like a beer, you also don’t squeeze. SQUEEZE it for a limited time – it's FRESH!
Thanks to brewmaster Marv and all the folks at @neustadtspringsbrewery that made this beer possible. Stay tuned for updates on our brewing journey and the pour on this really good, badly named beer!! |
