Beer Tapping and Oktoberfest at Tonight at Piece


Piece has these informal seasonal events a few times each year to tap and premiere a new beer addition to their list.  I love Piece for both their pizza and their fantastic beer and find any evening spent there to be greatly enjoyable, so I definitely make a point to attend these events.  However, they do draw out a larger crowd than usual for a Tuesday night, so sometimes you have to wait for a table.  

I attended the summer beer release and so did a rep from most of the breweries that were represented - Three Floyds, Goose Island, etc.  They were all seated at one table and available for questions.  I love that these events aren't only about highlighting Piece's own seasonal releases, but about trying other local beers on a sampler (if you so choose).  The seasonal beer is also usually discounted by a dollar or two at the release party.

We always order a sampling of beers from a variety of breweries with our pizza and, to my knowledge, this is the only night you have this option available.  It makes for a fun and low-key evening and a chance to try beers you otherwise might not get around to (I tried Moonshine's first beer release here).  Tonight they tap their Oktoberfest beer and have a special Oktoberfest thuringer sausage pizza.  Yum.
