Rare Beers and New IPAs at The Sidecar Bar

The Sidecar Bar has a lot going on this week, starting with the March edition of High Gravity tomorrow, March 16th. The Grad Hospital neighborhood bar will be pouring this month’s selection of high alcohol brews, some of which are hard to find on tap. And then there’s a very special IPA pouring on Friday.

Here’s the beer list for Wednesday:

Bear Republic– Racer X
Founders– Mango Magnifico
Fat Head’s– Hop JuJu
Weyerbacher– Morning Stout

Then, this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, The Sidecar is hosting the 2016 edition of IPA’s Greatest Hits, an event that highlights the best new IPAs. There will be twelve IPAs on tap each day, and on Friday they’re tapping Russian River Brewing Company’s Pliny the Younger, but you’ll need to buy a ticket in advance if you want some.
