To get your tastebuds ready for Saturday’s Holiday Potluck Party at Summit, please come to Torg Brewing this Thursday. In September the club held the Iron Brewer competition, and this year’s mandatory ingredient was wood. Torg agreed to brew the best entry that the law and their systems allow, and Nathan Steigman’s Dark IPA aged on hickory was selected. Nathan went to Torg in October to help brew a version of his recipe, and the resulting beverage will be released Thursday at Torg from 6-9!
