Fort Wayne and New Haven Beer Tappings - September 21

Dash-In:

I just came across this beer update on their Facebook page:

"We've brought back Southern Tier's Pumking (8.6% abv)!!

We also have a variety of new Pumpkin Beers and IPAs ready to be tapped. We just need YOU to come on down to the Dash-In and help us finish off a couple of our other beers to make room on our taps! That being said, we're putting Founder's Cerise Cherry(6.5% abv) on sale for $4.00.

We've also tapped an Oktoberfest from Germany:

Hacker-Pschorr's Oktoberfest (5.8% abv) - Bavarian barley slow roasted, caramelized to a rich, red amber color combined with the purest spring waters from the Alps, exclusive yeast and the finest Hallertau hops."

The Dash-In is one of my "go to" beer places and is well worth stopping at as they always have a great selection of beers on tap in a variety of styles.  They also have bottled beers as well as carryout beers.  They are located downtown at 814 S. Calhoun Street and their phone number is

Wayne Street and their phone number is (260) 420-5563.
