Day of the Dead Celebration
Fountainhead teams up with 5 Rabbit Cerveceria, Three Floyds, Stone Brewing Co. & Half Acre Brewing Company for a Day of the Dead Celebration Nov. 2. They'll be building an altar on their roofdeck and asking guests to bring in photographs and trinkets of deceased loved ones which can be placed on the altar in remembrance. (You can take them back when you leave!). They'll be selling flowers which can be thrown on the altar and all the money raised from the flower sales will go to SOS Children's Villages. In honor of the occasion the following beers will be poured: 5 Rabbit Vida y Muerte Muertzenbier; Stone's Double Bastard; Half Acre's Mr. Ouroboros; and Three Floyds Zombie Dust on Cask. (1970 W. Montrose)
