Tap List | Martin City Brewing Co. is Throwing a Block Party

What’s the best way to launch a beer called “Block Party”? That’s a no-brainer, so make plans to hit the street — so to speak — for the release of the new brew from Martin City Brewing Company.  A ticket to the event includes the new beer, all you can eat barbecue, homemade ice cream, games, and more! 

It also makes good sense to to sign up for Boulevard Brewing Company’s Unfiltered Whit sweepstakes before August 15. That will give you a chance to win dugout suite tickets and to meet Royals All-Star Whit Merrifield.
