Ground Hog's Day at Grey Lodge: Video

 

Perhaps one of the stranger events we have ever heard of is Grey Lodge Pub opening at 7am on February 2nd in time to watch Phil poke his head out at 7:20am.  Featured beers include Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, PBC's Joe Porter, and more!  Prizes will be awarded for best and worst hawaiian shirts and the winner of a hula hooping competition.  Of course there will be great beer to go around!

See the pictures from the event HERE.

Event Lineup:

7:00am: Punxatowney Phil & Breakfeast Stouts

Featured Beers: Founder's Breakfast Stout (Draft), Founder's KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) (Draft), Philadelphia Joe Porter (Draft).

8:00am: Sierra Nevada Hawaiian Shirt Contest

Wear your best (worst) Hawaiian shirt, Sierra Nevada will have prizes for the best (worst) ones!

9:00am: Troegs Something or Other

Troeg's Nugget Nectar will be on handpump, event TBA!

10:00am: Hula Hoop Contest

Prizes awarded for the best and most enthusiastic hoopers! Featured beers: TBA

11:00am: Event & Beers TBA

Noon: Lucky Cat Day Seasonal Beer Prognostication

Like Punxsutawney Phil, the Grey Lodge's Wissinoming Winnie is a prognosticator. Unlike Phil who prognosticates weather, Winnie prognosticates beer. 

Every February 2nd, with the help of her Inner Circle, Winnie determines if there will be 6 more weeks of winter beers or if the spring seasonals will arrive early. Winnie's Inner Circle is comprised of her hand picked (paw picked?) menagerie of local beer folks.

1:00pm Nap Time
