- Beer Release, O'Connor Brewing Co., 3 - 10:00 pm, 211 W 24th St., Norfolk. Discovery Scotch Ale is inspired by the traditions that settlers brought with them to the new world.

Our malt and grains come from Copper Fox Distillery in Sperryville, and adjuncts from local farmers. These beers are higher in alcohol content, with the ability to age and store for a more complex character at maturation. See for yourself why DRAFT Magazine rated this beauty a 97/100 (http://draftmag.com/reviews/detail/4111). Plus, Get Stuffed will be slinging their tacos, wraps, burritos, and bowls from 3-10 pm!
