We thought this might be of interest to Pittsburgh beer lovers.  Here is another great event from the folks at the Harris Grill – not only do they bring you bacon every Tuesday night – but they also host free beer tastings.

Founders Brewing Company Beer Tasting

Thursday, March 25 @ Harris Grill

7:00 — 9:00 PM

Think of this as a mini beer dinner, less formal than a plated dinner and more at your own pace. And it’s free! We’re pairing special, complementary appetizers with samples of their stellar beer lineup, plus there will be a special “mystery draft” on the board.

We’ll have representatives of Founders on-hand to meet and greet, and participants will receive discounts on Founders beers for the duration of their stay. No reservations, no charge. Did we mention ‘free’? It’s free.
