This year we’re poking a special event-released Bockbier, a rich tawny-lager that’s perfect for carmelizing. Plus, to commemorate your poke, you can take home a Waldmann glass tankard for only $10. Families, kids and kids-at-heart are all welcome (we’ve been known to poke a Coke too). The fun is outside, so dress for the weather! More info at waldmannbrewery.com.
