Oink, Moo & Brew on Labor Day Weekend

The Red Canary will host a Labor Day BBQ on Sunday, September 6th.  The cost is $20 and includes BBQ, $2 domestic drafts and $3 drafts.  Since the Red Canary bills itself as a 'gastro-lounge,' those draft beers should be pretty good.  I did a quick check of the draft list and it looks like most of their noteworthy beers are found on the bottle list.  The current draft list online is very limited, listing only four draft beers - 312, Guinness Stout, Lagunitas IPA and Stella.
