Dang ol’, I tell you what, man.

It’s the end of Summer and what better time for a Pub Crawl then now?! In the past we’ve been Nerds, Hippies and the Twitterati. This year, we’re ditching classy for trashy and donning our best (or worst as it were) redneck gear. So put on your best mullet, pull out those funky teeth and don’t forget to show your love for the champagne of beers!
