🌭 Back by popular demand... the Pub & Grub Crawl! 🍻
The Indiana Meat Packers had such a great time at the Pub & Grub Crawl during the 2023 IMPPA & IAMP joint convention in Illinois.... that they decided to have "ROUND 2" in Indiana!
We will spend Thursday evening of the convention traveling to three breweries/pubs where dinner and drinks will be at the packers & suppliers` discretion. A chartered bus will continuously travel to all locations (The Coachman, Nigh Brewing, Brew Link Brewing), all just minutes from the hotel.
Come join the fun!
